The second shows the entrance to fun house on the Santa Cruz Boardwalk in the late 1940s. Shuttered in 1971 due to increasing liability concerns, the house featured the usual spinning platters and barrel for the enjoyment of the patrons. This is one of most fun entrances to a fun house I have seen.

I LOVED the fun house in Santa Cruz. The giant wooden multi-story slide was the best feature.
Yes, that funhouse entrance is the best!
I went to a small circus when I lived on the east coast, and didn't want to go. But it turned out to be lots of fun, they even had a sideshow with "human oddities". Like a guy who hammered nails into his nose, and another one who put knitting needles through his bicep.
That Clown Mouth looks just like something out of "Yellow Submarine".
WE WENT TO THE FUN HOUSE IN THE 60'S AND THERE WAS A BIG WOODEN BARREL THAT YOU HAD TO WALK THROUGH, THEN THERE WAS A BIG WOODEN DISK ON THE FLOOR , ALL THE KIDS WOULD GATHER FROM THE CENTER OUT. SITTING DOWN FACING OUT, AND IT WOULD SPIN FASTER AND FASTER UNTILL EVERYONE HAD BEEN PULLED OFF FROM THE FORCE ! I LOVED IT !
