It's a fun house!
Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk announces the arrival
of 3-D Fun House, May 25, 2001. Measurements: 2,600 square feet (788
square meters). Delivered by D.O.A.
On Friday morning, staff were still
painting Santa Cruz's newest dark attraction, a walk-through, mirror-and-clown
themed maze. At 3 p.m., the attraction opened to the public. Throughout the
three-day weekend, cold and foggy though the outside climate may have been,
crowds came by in steady numbers to traipse through the 7-minute course. Despite
little fanfare, three local television stations, two radio stations, and a newspaper
came out to record the attraction's opening. "For us, that's good," said Jan
Bollwinkle-Smith, the Boardwalk's communications manager.
Even Bollwinkel-Smith ventured through the maze, despite her intense dislike
of clowns. Led by her boss, Marketing Director Marq Lipton, who knew where the
clowns were located, she received adequate warning to cast down her gaze whenever
a harlequin reared its painted head.
