I think there could be, if they follow the same ideas. But even if there was a person who made them, they couldn't compete with the new high tech ones (by that I'm not saying I prefer high tech ones better). Making a new ride with just old classics in them wouldn't really be as scary in this age.

It is a different time...there was only one Bill Tracy! We will NEVER see work like his again. That is why his surviving attractions are so special and need to be preserved.

Thanks!
Another Bill Tracy? No, but I have been a fan of his work for a long time, even before I knew who he was. This particular stunt is being used at Jasons Woods on the hayride, A new addition to a scene for this year. I have designed and built many things for Jasons Woods over the last 15 years; Giant head entranceways, a 10 foot tarantula, a 3D pirate ship and all of the 3D art in it, and many more.
I think that today's Halloween attractions are the new "darkride" for modern times. With so many of the old amusement parks going bust and closing, the classic darkride is more of a beloved antique. Large theme parks have the budget to build modern interactive rides which no longer resemble the rides we all remember.
Modern stunts, although realistic and awesome, do not hold up to prolonged use like the old tracy models. The fiberglass and plastecene he used have much more durability than todays foam latex covered animations.
