LOST MEDIA: Mystery Fun House Commercial (1977)


On March 28, 1976, Mystery Fun House opened in Orlando, Florida. It was a tourist attraction that was located near International Drive of Major Blvd across from the Universal Orlando Resort. The fun house had expanded to have a laser-tag facility, arcade, a dino-themed mini golf course, and more. The Fun House would close its doors on February 18, 2001. 

A commercial for the attraction was aired in May 1977 in the Central Florida area. It is now considered lost, but has a few screenshots. A child actor, Tracy B., who was in the commercial with their sister and sent a message to the Big Florida Country founder Scott Jensen that he posted on the page as follows:

"Scott, Here are the pictures that I told you about. The first one is of the wizard which is how the commercial started. The one with me and my sister were taken to the disco room. Not the best quality, but not bad considering the pictures were taken right off the television as the commercial was airing. My dad would call the television stations in advance so that he could know exactly when the commercial was scheduled to air so that he could get his camera ready. Take care, Tracy".
