Erie, PA
Bill Tracy created this walk-through pirate funhouse for Waldameer in 1972, combining tilted rooms, blacklight figures, optical illusions and deliberately disorienting passages. It remains an operating piece of vintage amusement architecture inside the seasonal park rather than a modern haunted-house attraction.
Erie, PA
Dark-ride designer Bill Tracy built Waldameer's Whacky Shack in 1970, filling the tracked ride with blacklight monsters, optical gags and old-school funhouse effects. It is still operating at Waldameer and is a rare surviving example of Tracy's once-widespread amusement-park work, but it is available only when the seasonal park is operating.
Conoy Township, PA
These stark white cliffs above the Susquehanna are not natural limestone bluffs but piles of industrial waste left by a nineteenth- and twentieth-century quarry operation. They are reached by walking or cycling the Northwest Lancaster County River Trail, with additional ruins from the former company town of Billmyer nearby.
