We seem to see more and more classic rides disappearing these days. Over in the US enthusiasts are having a pretty tough time coming to terms with loosing some classic rides over the last year, and the plans for the future don’t look to good either.Any Dark Ride fans will have come across George LaCross and Bill Luca’s excellent website Laffinthedark, It has a wealth of information for all enthusiasts interested in this genre of ride.

George sent me some information recently about the planned closure of a further two dark rides in the US The Zombie Castle (pictured above) and the flying witch both at Playland Amusement Park in Rye, NY.

In an attempt to put a stop to this Laff in the dark have started a petition to save these rides, for more information and to lend some support please visit The Editorial page.

If you would like to see some additional information about these rides please take a look at the Laffinthedark articles covering both rides in full detail including a behind the scenes tour.

Zombie Castle.

Any support you can offer will surely be appreciated.

Thanks for reading.
