thought some of you might enjoy these pics.we started this project in jan. robbie moegerle and his wife patty did the work. rob did the welding,mechanical and fabricating. patty was in charge of painting, and was very meticulous. hawk and gator lidey did the primer and base coat, and clear coat. dennis klien did the artwork.my crew did all the manual labor. they sanded for two months.my job was to keep the cash flowing. i did my job well,we got twenty g's in material and parts, not counting robbie and patty's labor. rob did such a great job he's buying the ride. i don't have a finished picture of the ride with the border lights and flags but you get the idea.note the overhead lights rob built. also the roof was real rotten, rob patched all the bad steel, then covered it with rhino lining. also sprayed the spiral stairs and spin room.that cost about $2200 but worth it since it will handle the foot traffic on the roof plus seal the roof from leaks. also removed plexi from spin room and put decorative bars in.ride has new compressor, motors, bearings,lights fire supression plumbing,and a whole lot more.

let me know what you think.

Awsome Job! I would like to see more of these conversions.
There are so many outdated and run down fun houses on the road.
Anyone have any Dark Ride renovations to report?

Thanks for sharing the photos!

Good topic lotman. I enjoy seeing the WQ work. The Fun House turned out great. Tell Robbie the guy from Ohio that takes pictures said Hi. He'll know who it is.

Great looking rehab job. I especially like the inclusion of the Gibtown references in the theming. Thanks for sharing.

yeah, we put showtown bar where the barstools are, and where the upper balcony is we themed that as gibtown clubhouse. you probably can't see the monkey with the fez and the ding jar.its a hats off to all the showmens shriners that are a big part of the gibsonton club, and raise a ton of money for both the shriners hospitals and the club.

Outstanding, Back to kid friendly. Funny how it went from Klondike Kate (cartoon) to Rock stars, and back to Cartoonish. I can remember sleeping in that back room a couple of times (don't think I could now with that character's eyes staring at me. The Bars look much better than the Plexi. Where will this be playing now that you are selling ?
