Spook-A-Rama is a dark ride and haunted attraction at Deno's Wonder Wheel Amusement Park in Coney Island, Brooklyn. Riders travel through it in cars shaped like old wooden barrels.
The ride was built by the Pretzel Amusement Ride Company and opened in 1955. It once took more than ten minutes and was billed as the longest spook ride in the world; today it occupies less than a third of its original area and a ride lasts about 45 seconds. Denos Vourderis bought Spook-A-Rama in 1983, the same year he bought the Wonder Wheel. Scarefactory of Columbus, Ohio, renovated the ride before the 2013 season.
The park lists no height requirement for Spook-A-Rama.
