Dark Ride Paradise - Wild Bill's Nostalgia Center

[ernierockerWhy do I still have a donkey title???]

I think a Wild Bill's/Quassy/Compounce/SFNE/NYC trip has quickly been bumped into the top three most likely future trips anywhere for me.

That really would make a kick-ass "long-weekend" type of trip!

Wow, this is seriously awesome! Can't wait to see those dark rides up and running. I will totally have to take a trip up there... nice that it's within easy driving distance.

Thanks for sharing Larry!

WOW! I would love to see this place (and ride the rides he's making!)

[WillFCodyI Guess Donkeys Are Okay]

We here at Wild Bill's would really like to thank Larry for coming to visit us personally.

I would also like to reply to Forces(John C.) with this link http://www.roadsideamerica.com/blog/giant-jack-in-the-box/ from Roadside Attractions, who have been to Wild Bill's on 3 seperate instances. We are all looking forward to meeting you all here at Wild Bill's anytime.

Thanks for all the support and wonderful comments.

I haven't logged in here for ages and Im glad I did tonight. I had heard about this place before, but this is the first time I've really got to know what its about. This is a great project. I love the old classic dark rides. Sure the sally laser makeovers are great and all, but I do miss just sitting there rumbling along in the dark nervous about what's going to assault me round the next corner.

I also cant get over the reality of that store! Its exactly the kind of place where you can happen upon a real unexpected gem that you would sell a kidney for.

I look forward seeing this progress.

Oh, and thanks to Larry for showing it to us!

Our thanks to you and Chuck Burnham for taking this on.

[Philrad71Don't put that donkey on the floor!]

This is just awesome!

I am definitely going to have to talk my Dad into driving the motor home out there for the flea market and to check this place out next year. We love antiques, flea markets, old beer cans/bottles/signs...and the dark ride restoration project is the bonus win & a super cool idea!

Thanks for sharing, Larry!

PS - Anyone named 'Buffalo Bill' restoring dark rides is a winner in my book!

Best of luck,guys!

[aimsterthe ghost seems to think there is a "Donkey Fairy"]

This is really cool! I'm looking forward to reading more on the progress of everything!
