OK, ALL OF THAT INFORMATION WAS UNCOVERED ABOUT THE HH'S FALSE OPENING AN CONSTRUCTION AN ECT... ...so...WHAT STUNTS WERE AN WERE NOT ACTUALY GHOST SHIP STUNTS THAT WERE ORIGINALY THOUGHT TO BE SO AN WHAT WAS WHAT?At one point or another, almost all of the Tracy stunts in the HH were subject to the pre/post ghost-ship hysteria...
Which were an were-not part of this every-so-confusing merge?

I am going to go out on a limb and say, based on my research and knowledge, the HH stunts that were previously Ghost Ship stunts were: Falling Beam Mermaid Crab Seasick Pirate Headslinger Birthday Party Train Tunnel Stone Rat #2 Wine Cellar Wall Decor upstairs There is still some questions around the Mad Scientist, but I believe that it was original to the 1964 attraction.

Thanks! BTW, the headslinger, an birthday party really are odd, if they did come from the "Ghost Ship" as opposed to the "Haunted House"... What do birthday clowns an headless ghost have to do with a pirate-themed dark-ride? Sure, it's a Tracy Ride...but still, odd even for him...

Agreed...Headslinger could have been a drunken pirate stumbling down some stairs.... seemed to work well!

My 1st time on this ride was in 1967 as a small child. I then rode it every year from 1973 till about 1979. I was obssessed w/ it. I'd like to add that the following stunts as well as the ones on the 1st post were definitely, beyond a shadow of a doubt, part of the GHOST SHIP and NOT part of the pre 1988 HAUNTED HOUSE: Mad scientist/Bartender Cuckoo clock I also rode thru the GHOST SHIP many,many times in the 70's and I distinctly remember most of the stunts and these two were definitely in there

You see this is when I start to get confused and think. Why the heck would a Pirate Ship themed ride have a cucu clock?

The Whacky Shack at Hunt's Pier in Wildwood (closed summer 1995, removed early 1996 during transformation into Dinosaur Beach) also had the clock but it looked blue from the photo on laff in the dark. Is anyone aware of any other Tracy rides besides at Wildwood and OC, MD that had the clock? And the knit-wit?
