Although we did not like Morey's Pier as much as Hunt's Pier, we would still visit it for some of the rides and to see the large fiberglass King Kong on top of the ticket booth. One ride that used to fascinate us was the walk through Haunted House located toward the back of the pier. This attraction, which was built in 1972, lasted until the mid 80s when it was torn down to make room for the new log flume. Although we had the opportunity to walk through the attraction a couple times before its demise, I was too young to remember specifics about the inside. I do, however, remember that it had a shower scene like that in the Psycho movie. I also remember a guy wielding a large meat clever on the third floor. The mansion was not as big as Nickels' Dracula's Castle, but it seemed to have more scares.
Another classic Morey’s ride was Dante’s Inferno. This ride was installed in 1981 and still remains on the pier today. The artwork on the original Dante’s Inferno was horrifying...people melting in Hell’s fires, demons attacking women, etc.
