A project to build a world-class amusement ride here in York PA! One that rivals ones you would find at the world's best amusement parks.

Our goals are to preserve the history of the Pretzel Ride, the ride that is the foundation of countless modern amusement attractions and at the same time create a family oriented haunted house ride.
