PHANTASMAGORIA RELIC DISCOVERED

Thanks to Mike at Tulsa TV Memories I recently acquired this official vintage souvenir goblet from my favorite defunct dark ride, the Phantasmagoria which once stood in my favorite defunct amusement park, Bell's of Tulsa, Oklahoma. The piece of glassware sports a single-color version of the bumper sticker design.

I can only wonder about it's origin. Was it received in exchange for a mountain of Ski-ball tickets? Or was it a reward for some other sort of midway achievement like ball-throwing or balloon-popping?


It's a terrific find because I like to think about mechanical skeletons and dangerous mine shafts while enjoying a large chalice of milk.

I have added it to my online Phantasmagoria archive along with this commemorative bumper sticker which was produced by Kalvin Roberts shortly after the spook house was razed.
