RII Monthly is wrong. The world's first dark ride debuted in 1928 in New Jersey. The Castle of Terror was installed in 1963 in a circa 1948 walk through fun house building. Castle of Terror was renamed House of Horrors in 1970. The other dark ride John may be referring to was an imported three-decker Pinfari portable "Witch Mill" which operated 1971-1974. From 1948 to 1970, there was another dark ride which was rethemed three times, starting as Laff In The Dark and ending as Jungle Terrors. After 1970, the bulding was removed to expand the midway and to install the Sky Diver.
