When the Wizard was painting the Dark Ride for the guy I bought it from, the guy complained about how long it was taking him to finish. Seems like the Wizard would work for a week or so,get a little more front money and fly to California for Holistic Healing. Lack of safety procedures and the new paint formulas that were being introduced, as well as the years of exposing his lungs to these chemicals was taking its toll. According to the former owner of the ride, Matt Huesmann from Shelbyville,IN; the Wiz wasn't doing too well. Seemed to be having some very bad lung problems. Not many people remember seeing him much after this.
