The Haunted House at Trimper's Rides has been in place on the Ocean City Boardwalk since 1964.

The Haunted House is a dark ride and one of the flagship attractions at Trimper's Rides & Amusements, in Ocean City, MD. Built by Bill Tracy in 1964, and expanded in 1989; it has resided on the southern end of Ocean City's boardwalk strip ever since.

History

In 1961, Granville Trimper was intrigued by a dark ride at Glen Echo park near Washington DC.^[1] He attended an amusement convention not long afterward, where he met Bill Tracy (at the time, the best dark ride builder in the industry) and discussed building a dark ride on the site of the former Windsor Theater. After numerous proposals, Granville settled for the one level "Haunted House" dark ride package. Construction began in 1963, and the ride was ready for the 1964 season.^[2]

The ride was a hit, and Granville added to his new dark ride when ever possible. During the 1988 season the ride was given a major overhaul, adding a second floor to accommodate gags and tricks from a ride called "Ghost Ship" at playland park, which had closed.^[3] The ship was a Tracy-built ride also, and the stunts fit in perfectly with the ones from 1964. The addition required an enlarged loading area (to make room for some extra cars)and added a balcony, which the cars would travel across during the trip.^[4]

In current years, the park has been sluggishly phasing out the Tracy tricks, which consist of wood, paper machete, and day-glow paint. This fragile build has lead to numerous incidents, including being the target of vandalism, and constant repairs. The park has been adding newer, modern dark ride stunts to replace the older ones.^[5]

Ride Experience

File:Hhlobbycount.JPG

The lobby of The Haunted House. Count Wolf Von Vinderstine; a 1995 barker animatronic gives a dialog to passer-by about the attractions features.

The ride begins after climbing into a wooden coffin shaped vestal. The Haunted House has a total of 11 cars; three of which came from the ghost ship. The cars are currently in a process of being refurbished over the off-season, in groups of three. They are hauled off to Trimper's warehouses were they are given a complete over-haul, with new wood paneling and parts.^[6]

The lobby area were the cars are boarded is decked with antique chandeliers, a number of scary portraits^[7], and two animatronic barkers. The first of which is Count Wolf Von Vinderstine; a headless specter who gives a three minute looped spiel about what riders will see inside the attraction. The stunt; added in 1995, is run by both air and complex electronics; by which the count's mouth and facial movements are synchronized with the looped spiel for a more realistic effect.^[8] The second barker is a gargoyle. Hung right above the doors which the cars enter the attraction's interior, the air-powered stunt gives a short dialog in which he dares the riders to enter.^[9]

The car enters a set of double doors (sometimes know as light barriers) and enters the first room. Two of Tracy's gags occupy the space; A large rat perched on a tree stump; and a staircase banner covered in spiders whose bodies resemble human skulls. The rat lunges forward toward the car while the spiders spin back-and-forth on the stairs. The room is use frequently to house cars which have broken down^[10]. The entrance to the main workshop is also located in the room^[11].

File:Hhknitwit.JPG

The Knit Witt Gag has been in the ride since it's opening in 1964. It features an elderly woman knitting; when cars approach her, she spins around violently, revealing a skeletal figure knitting a spider's web.

The car goes through a single set of doors and enters a crooked hallway. Bill Tracy's rides often included a crooked hallway or two. As the vestal moves forward into the room, it is tilted to an angle, giving the feeling of falling. This is achieved by placing a raised tire-track on one side of the car's path, while leaving the other side flat. The guide-rail hinge allows for the body of the vestal to tip to the side while safely maneuvering the un-even grade^[12]. This room also takes the vestal up a small incline, which is crucial in allowing the next gag the proper floor space. After coming through a set of doors at the end of the hallway, the vestal enters a spinning tunnel. At the end of the tunnel is a full scale replica of a coffin shaped vestal; just like the one the riders are in. This replica spins 360-degrees in sync with the tunnel; along with another crooked grade; giving the illusion of being pulled into a swirling vortex^[13].The cars are actual heading through an elevated bridge-like tunnel, with the barrel surrounding them. The barrel itself was installed by the Philadelphia Toboggan Company^[14].

The cars turn to the right, and head toward a stream of green lights apoun the wall. Suddenly, a light turns on; revealing a bedroom turned upside down. A woman is situated on a bed stuck to the ceiling^[15]. The car creeps through this room, maneuvering another crooked grade. The car then picks up some ample speed, and heads down an incline past a variety of gags and non-animated characters, such as; a family of Trolls; a hippopotamus; a discarded dummy from the electric chair gag on the second floor, missing it's hands and feet; a birthday party were a group of clowns pull a severed head out of a birthday cake; and a werewolf figure. nearing the end of the incline, the cars pass the Tracy gag know as the Old Mill. The gag involves a scantly-clad damsel chained to a piece of wood. When the gag is activated, the platform on which the wood rests is tilted; the wood slides forward, feeding the damsel into a spinning saw blade^[16].

The Old Mill and a Family of Trolls make up part of the large number of gags passed in the fast decent out of the upside down room.

The facade of The Haunted House can be viewed in better detail during the ride's second story balcony portion. Tracy's Blood-thirsty Bat has been a staple since the 1964 opening.

The cars maneuver a slight inclined turn, where the pass by the Knit-Witt^[17], and original 1964 gag; A set three wall-mounted busts; and a witch, who lunges toward the car. The car makes yet another rapid decent; this one leads through a graveyard themed room^[18]. The cars pass through a number of hinged door-like graves, which are knocked aside as the vestal speeds downhill. Hanging above is a ghoul, while a demonic looking entity rises from behind a gravestone. The car finally begins an ascent upward. As the car climbs up the incline, a Bat flies toward the car from overhead. After reaching the top of the incline and crashing through a set of doors, the car passes a coffin; bathed in a bright red light^[19]. The car makes a sharp left turn and heads up a steeper incline. This one, which includes another crooked grade, is located inside another crooked hallway. Nearing the peak, one of the overhead beams cracks. The cars enter a set of doors and level out into darkness^[20].

A light turns on revealing a set of barrels which fall toward the riders^[21]. The car then heads into a room full were the tipping grade is the gag's main aspect. The room, which is know as the "Wave room" is decked out with neon wave patterns across the walls. The grade pushes the car back-and-fourth as though it were out at sea. Another set of doors leads to a room which is occupied by a Zombie who lunges at the vestal, and a Vampire lit by strobe lights. The car then heads out onto the ride's second story balcony. This portion was a major addition in 1989's expansion. The cars leave the interior scenes and emerge into the light of day. The riders get a better view of Tracy's detailed facade; while passer-by and rider's family and friends can see them mid ride. The Bat which adorns the facade is another 1964 original. It's taken down during the winter and placed inside to avoid the grueling ocean weather, which helps insure it's survival. The bat will getting a complete face-lift for the 2010 season^[22].

File:Hhechair.JPG

The Distortions Unlimited Electric Chair Gag was added in 1995. While it caused numerous troubles early on, the bugs were fixed, and it has been scaring riders for more then 15 years now.

Re-entering the interior through a set of double doors; (These doors in particular have become plagued with a rider tradition of placing used chewing gum. They are usually covered in gum, giving them the nick-name of "The Gum Doors"^[23]) the cars enter the main location of the ghost ship additions. While the majority of these stunts are gone now, the backdrops and parts to the stunts are still strewn about. The cars pass by a mummy, a group of skeletons and a moving coffin which makes loud crashing noises as it tips back and fourth.

File:Hhtoiletgag.JPG

"The Last Drop" Involves a woman's hands creeping out of a dirty toilet, while water leaks everywhere.

The next gag;Tracy's Torture Chamber^[24]; involves a man being stretched on a device; a man hanging from the ankles suspended from the ceiling above a pit of hot coals; and a chained female, whose animated breasts heave in terror. A Rat situated near her toes is from a former stunt which reside across the track at one point; this spot is now occupied by a Giant Skull.

The car ventures into a room, were they first meet toxic waste monster and a mermaid. Then, a corpse leaps from the darkness toward the car, screaming. The car the trips a switch, and a Distortions Unlimited Electric Chair prop bursts to life. The animated figure thrashes back-an-fourth in the chair while letting out a terrible moan of pain, (In recent years, this moan has be able to be heard throughout the the entire second level of the ride) while strobe lights accompany the scene. The prop was originally intended to run for Halloween purposes, and wasn't built to bare a constant state of use. The original motor was at a speed which cause the dummy to thrash so violently, it's latex skin would tear. The motor was replaced, and until a recent 2009 replacement body, the prop had run with the same one since the new motor was installed^[25].

The Cars turn a corner and head into a train tunnel. The vestal is shook back-an-fourth as it maneuvers a set of train-track style planks on the ground, while a bright floodlight shines up ahead. The vestal then passes another Tracy oddity; "The Last Drop" as it was called by his company, involves a women's hands creeping out of a toilet basin. The room is dirty, and the toilet leaks water all over the floor of the gag^[26]. The cars then turn to begin there descent to ground level. They creep slowly down a hall lined with neon slates. A Distortions Unlimited hanging man kicks and struggles to get free^[27]. Nearing the end of this corridor, the car jerks left and meets another giant Tracy rat^[28], and a elderly vampire. The car speeds down a set of smaller ramps; these lead to a neon Grandfather Clock from which a deranged bird pops out of^[29]. The cars pass an Alien, and then round a bend toward the exit doors. The vestal hits a switch causing a waterfall to form over the track. The riders will look as though they are about to get wet, until the car hits another switch that shuts it off just in the knick of time^[30]. The car goes through a set of doors an re-enters the lobby. Riders disembark from their coffins and head around the backside of the lobby toward the boardwalk.
