Dark Ride Paradise - Wild Bill's Nostalgia Center

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

My parents love to shop for antiques so this is the perfect spot to hit up when we're in the area. The dark rides are the icing on the already awesome cake.

I can't get enough of that store. So much awesome old stuff in one place. The Williamsburg Antique Mall has nothing on psychedelic storefront with world's largest bobblehead.

This looks like a place made for a TPR visit!

[cfcI've gone pantless!]

While there are a lot of new coasters being built for 2012, I think that this is most exciting theme-park-related project in a long time.

[DougMJrBeware of the freeze-dried donkey!]

It's great that this is being built at a store that already attracts tourism. Hopefully this will help make dark rides a little more popular. I'll definitely visit wild bill's if I ever get the opportunity.

This is seriously one of the greatest things ever posted to this site. Thanks so much for taking the time to go out for a visit and returning with so many great photos. I look forward to watching this plan come together and visiting the place some day.

Reminds me of American Pickers. Awesome store!

[spongeyCan I park my donkey here?]

Great report mate, looks like you could spend hours looking around in there!

[forcesHave I mentioned how awesome donkeys are?]

Looks really cool, one could possibly get lost in the store alone. The place will definitely be an attraction I can see being featured on a show on the travel channel. Thanks for the great photos and interesting report Larry. Wild Bill looks like a man whose got some great stories to tell.

[Solid GoldWhat would donkeys be like on the moon?]

I think I will spend more time searching out dark ride nostalgia in the future. 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.

I think this was a VERY good TR to share. Reason #1 why TPR is the only coaster forum I pay attention to.

[DaveH80Does Jeff Johnson count this donkey as a credit?]

Great TR Larry! I live about 25 min from Wild Bill's & have been going there since I was a teenager. I have got some excellent vintage concert tees, videos, & random nostalgic stuff there & everytime I drive by it seems like more has been added. I learned so much I never knew from your report so thanks so much for that! Looks like like many more great things are planned for the future there. Very exciting!!
