Will Bell's Phantasmagoria ever be rebuilt (the props and stuff are in storage), the park was supposed to rebuild in the Tulsa area after being evicted from the fair, and is there a future for Joyland's Whacky Shack, coud it be saved? What about the former Fright Zone from Ohio, if the ride won't be rebuilt at Conneaut, why not sell the props to Waldameer or something? That would have been awesome for Waldameer to either incorporate the props into their Whacky Shack and Pirate's Cove, or build a new building and reuse the carts and track, and build a new seperate dark ride with the Fright Zone stuff. I don't know of any other abandoned/dismantled Tracy rides, other than those three. Well, the Haunted Castle at former Miracle Strip in Panama City Beach, FL the cars track and some props were bought by a guy in Birmingham, AL for use in a seasonal dark ride, the rest of the props were bought by a fire company in Ft. Walton, FL. The 1979 Haunted Hotel at the former Myrtle Beach Pavilion which was razed March 2007 was actually a Funni-Frite ride. The Dr. Blood's House of Horror at Sportland Pier, Wildwood was razed Jan 2007, some props saved, was that built by This Is, Inc after Tracy's passing? Or by Jim Melonic's Fantasies and Dreams? Was This Is and Fantasies and Dreams the same company just remnamed?

I was wondering the same thing about the Phantasmagoria and Whacky Shack. They still have hope yet. I don't know what happened to Fright Zone. I went to Conneaut in 2006 , disappointed I couldn't go to Eireview Park because it was permenantly closed, and saw a sign along the midway with pictures advertizing the new ride that was going to be there. That park is really biting the dust. It would be awsome for Waldameer to adopt the dark ride.

Jim Melonic's Fantasies and Dreams Built Dr. Bloods around '76 or so. There were reconizable Tracy stunts in there, most notably the Vamp and the flying swamp ghost.
