A Little boy and his father walk up the street on a brisk, yet cool Fall evening from a new Town House, just built in the area, after a hearty dinner, this five year old looks at the Fun House and then asks his daddy: "Dad, what was that over there?!?" His father grunts out loud then responds: "Son, I'm not too sure, we never did get over there too much". |
| The author wishes to Thank the kindness of both Fun House Owners Paul and Virginia Hajostek as well as Anthony Mancino and the "Laff-In-The-Dark Staff Pirates", Bill "Captain" Luca and George "First Mate" La Cross for putting up with my constant ramblings on what a fine ride this was and hopefully may still be. Thanks Guys! And a Special Big Laff Thanks to Rob and Laurie Leddy who first put me onto this ride and who care, as much as I do about its future, as well as Charles J. Jacques Jr. |

STATEN ISLAND FUNHOUSE UPDATE
|
| Time, as always, marches on. Since this article was published in 2001, the Funhouse has closed. The equipment was sold to a private owner and is not for sale. If and when the ride is put back into service, we'll post a full report in The Laff Track. |
