Keansburg, NJ's former Spookhouse dark ride in 2001

At the time I shot this video in August 2001, the Spookhouse dark ride at Keansburg Amusement Park in Keansburg, NJ was the oldest operating dark ride installed by the Pretzel Amusement Park Company. Debuting in 1931 as the Mystery Ride, this dark ride had many interior displays come and go over the decades, but it still had some of the original Pretzel stunts as well as Pretzel's original factory ride car fleet resembling Model A motor cars. While the cars had been decorated several times over the decades, they were the only operating Pretzel Model A cars at the time of my video. Sadly, in 2012, the storm surge from Hurricane Sandy destroyed the ride. Read more about the Spookhouse at: laffinthedark....

That looks like it was a pretty good ride. I was surprised how tiny the loading area was.
