Funhouse Mirkwood was a traveling funhouse and sideshow family that was founded in 1946 by Sir William Morris in Jacksonville, Florida and relocated to St. George, Utah in 1951. St George served as home base for the group of around 80 entainers, specializing in everything from balloon animal twisting to fire breathing. The funhouse itself was a twisting maze of mirrors and smoke, and served as the main attraction for the traveling clan. It was revered for how difficult it was to complete, and the labyrinth was altered nightly so that no two configurations were alike. Funhouse Mirkwood enjoyed plentiful success throughout the 1950's and traveled throughout the continental United States.
The funhouse was again forced to relocate in 1962 due to repeated fallout from the nearby Yucca Flats nuclear testing facility, and amid allegations that the funhouse was becoming too difficult to navigate and that numerous visitors had gone missing within the maze and never returned. William Morris announced that the new home for the funhouse was to be in Toronto, Ontario, Canada and the train Departed Utah in mid October. Unfortunately, the train never reached it's destination, believed to have derailed somewhere in central Wisconsin.
The 3rd annual 2015 Nightmare in WARPed Woods is being held in memory of those who likely perished in the accident. The WARPed woods is a twisting, dark labyrinth of disc golf holes that represents the winding halls of Funhouse Mirkwood.
