New York City Photo Trip Report – Part 3
Wild Bill's Dark Ride Paradise
August 6, 2012

Stunning. I want to live in something that looks like this.

Specifics, of course, are being kept under wraps, but there will be all sorts of time-honored fun house stunts in here, like the "Arkansas Traveler."

We also understand that live actors may be involved for the Halloween season BOO-YAH!

Looking at the details of the exterior makes it crystal-clear that the people who are building this Paradise love what they are doing.

As is discussed in Larry's TPR thread, the facade takes its inspiration from the former "Haunted House" of Massachusetts' Riverside Park (now Six Flags New England), which was itself crafted by dark ride legend Bill Tracy.

IMHO, this already looks better than every non-big-budget theme park dark ride I've ever seen. And it's not close to being done yet. (I can only imagine what these folks would do had they $100,000,000.00 to spend on one attraction...)

But they are working like dogs to at least have a major chunk of it ready to open on September 15th, and will continue to add to it over time. (All the completely sick details are right here.)
