This latest addition reimagines the classic 'Toonerville Funhouses,' bringing a contemporary twist to a beloved seaside tradition.
Sprinkles the Clown Takes Center Stage
Leading this overwhelming excitement is none other than Sprinkles the Clown, who recently made waves—figuratively and literally—during a spectacular Jet Ski show. Splashing across the picturesque Santa Monica Bay, Sprinkles created an unforgettable preview that delighted beachgoers and excited visitors alike, hinting at the whimsical fun awaiting them.
Funhouse Kicks Off with Festivities
The excitement crescendos as the Funhouse opens its doors, set to host an extraordinary celebration. Clowns, led by Sprinkles, will emerge from an ice cream truck, filling the air with laughter and antics. This fun approach captures the essence of the amusement park's goal: providing exceptional entertainment for families and thrill-seekers.
A Unique and Thrilling Experience
The Funhouse spans an impressive 2,800 square feet and is inspired by the historic Toonerville Funhouse, which delighted visitors in its operational days in the 1920s and 1950s. Guests will be drawn into a magical yet spine-chilling adventure, featuring nine mysterious rooms designed to intrigue and amuse. The attraction challenges visitors with optical illusions and clever surprises, ensuring a delightful experience.
Unraveling the Mystery Inside
Among the colorful characters within the Funhouse, a coin-operated Fortuneteller beckons guests into a maze filled with delightful curiosities. Here, they may even find themselves facing a chilling ride in Sprinkles the Clown's ice cream truck freezer—a whimsical yet thrilling twist to keep them on their toes.
Paying Homage to the Past
Throughout its history, Pacific Park has sought to combine fun with the unexpected. With the introduction of the new Funhouse, the park pays homage to its unique history while ensuring guests enjoy a memorable experience. As Nathan Smithson, Senior Director of Business Affairs, enthusiastically stated, this new attraction merges nostalgia with modern excitement, promising a delightful adventure over the waves of the Pacific Ocean.
Connection to Local History
The inspiration for the Funhouse draws from the whimsical designs of the original Toonerville Funhouses.
