Description:

It was attached on the outside of the ride entrance to Roseland Park, Canandaigua, NY: One of the most unusual rides in the park was ‘Gallopin’-Gertie’ which took adults and children through pitch-black passageways. ‘Gertie’ was a ride full of creepy, crawling, cagey animals and parts of people. There was a gorilla, a tiger, a human head popping from a box, a lion, a snake in a tree, an alligator, a crawling spider, and ‘old Dan;’ the lifelike figure which rose from a casket. They jumped out of the darkness to be greeted by screams from visitors. Riders were greeted outside by ‘Gravel Gertie’ which was a mannequin in the form of a fat woman who shook and was in a fit of constant laughter.
