Much older
Should Vekoma really be singled out as it is here? The haunted swing and other similar rides are much older than that company. http://www.deceptology.com/2010/09/haunted-swing-illusion.html (probably not citable in itself, but someone could verify their citation from R.W. Wood in The Psychological Review Volume 2, 1895) says the first Haunted Swing was created by Amariah Lake for Atlantic City's Boardwalk in the early 1890s. - Jmabel &#124; Talk 04:34, 10 November 2018 (UTC)

Merlin's Mystical Mansion 	Clark's Trading Post, Lincoln New Hampshire 	United States 	1990
Is that correct? I thought the Villa Volta in Efteling was the original Vekoma Madhouse. I would be surprised that the Dutch firm Vekoma build a Madhouse in the States 6 year before.--Wester (talk) 22:55, 30 January 2019 (UTC)


 * It is incorrect, the ride was neither built by Velkoma nor in 1990.
 * Merlin's was built entirely in-house by Clark's in 1985.
 * It was modeled after the "Wonder House" from "Dutch Wonderland" in Pensilvania and differs from velkoma built madhouses in that the seats are completely fixed and do not move at all, only the room moves.
 * I got this from talking to the people who built it, and don't have any sources to link, but I doubt the person who put it down as a velkoma did either. QuietCandy (talk) 00:01, 30 May 2019 (UTC)
