Just two months after the classic Dreamland Ballroom at Conneaut Lake Park in northwestern Pennsylvania burned down, the 114-year old attraction is shouldering more bad news. Rick Davis, Director of the Darkride and Funhouse Enthuiasts related the following to us;

"Some time over the weekend of April 5th, the former funhouse building at Conneaut Lake Park collapsed. The building was a bowling alley in the very early 1900's and was later the Funhouse as well as the Ultimate Trip. After that it had been used as storage for several years before becoming the Ultimate Trip for a few more seasons."

According to Davis, the "Ultimate Trip," was the combination of a Scrambler ride, loud music and lighting effects.

A photo shows the cinder block building with at least two walls nearly completely down and clearly a total loss.

Davis added, "Sadly, I was told that a trustee at Conneaut wanted to talk to me about the old funhouse to consider possibly recreating it."
