The Haunts of Waldameer Park 

Only people who've experienced the ride truly know what I mean when I say something smells like the Wacky Shack. I'll always remember the distinct smell it has. I think the summer I worked there they had a raccoon problem in Pirate's Cove and had it shut down for a while. I wonder if that was when the pirate's leg was crumbling. Every now and then I hear the voices saying "I ain't got no body. I ain't got no body either." in a flash of a memory.

Wacky Shack is iconic! There are spooks and large fanged beasts around every corner. The chills and thrills seem to lunge out at the rider from every corner. Pirates cove is a rare walkthrough ride with spooks and laughs. It is a true Gem. Ride them while you can.

this guy made my childhood and who i am today. thanks Randy😊

We love the wacky shack and pirates cove. Two rides I loved as a kid and now my kids are getting to enjoy them.

Thank God for Randy and his teams passion! This video is awesome!

Love learning all the history, and all the problems that were encountered and later repaired or updated.

Got to ride the Whacky Shack once when I was a kid. First dark ride I ever rode on, and it left an impression!

Ive been going there since the mid 90's. Pretty cool stuff. Definitely a scary ride if you are younger.

This is awesome Bill! Love the history and news report style of this video, very well done. It's great to see classic dark rides still in operation and still nearly close to how they were when they first opened.

I used to work with Randy and his Sister! Awesome people. So nice to see him on this!

RANDY YOUR GREAT GUY!

fantastic

Awesome job Randy and Paul ! Thank You for taking care of these iconic bits of history.

So cool watching this, I go on these every year!

As someone who lives in erie. I can attest that these places are definitely spooky

This is very neat thanks for sharing.

Bill Tracy? There's two Bill Tracy rides at Lagoon Park in Farmington Utah

Thanks!

Both of these rides are fantastic, been on them several times. Kennywood should be ashamed for tearing down Le Cachot, it was one of Bill Tracy's finest works.

What a lovely video! I knew these rides were special growing up, it is great to see the history behind it! I gotta know though, was there ever any taxidermy involved? I have an old taxidermy baboon that allegedly came from the whacky shack.

This video and your channel are both superb

I Love the Wacky Shack ride

Awesome Video!!! Just Subscribed ! =)

I remember when Captain Hook's arm used to move.

I never knew this and these were probably two things I went on the most ever sense I was little 😮

So good

I go almost every yr there

Clementon Lake Park had a walk through Wacky Shack that was more of a fun house. Pirate’s Cove was at Dorney.

I hate to say but I was in a stupid stunt in that ride! My friends and I were messing around and put our legs out of the ride at first, and then I jumped out of the car, and they followed. All of a sudden my friends sneaker go stuck in the track! The car behind us caught up and ran into us. They got out and tried to help us lift our car to get the sneaker out of the track, and it started sparking and smoking, and we ran out of the exit which was on the second floor. Embarrassed as all hell the operator came back with my friends shoe, and they didn't even kick us out! Hard lesson learned!

Joyland's burned down completely in 2018.

I WOULD LOVE TO PPERATE THAT RIDE. OR WORK WITH RANDY ❤

This is still open?

Im from Erie PA, waldameer as a park is a joke......
