However it did not last long and Turvey Manor became an Arcade for many years. Briefly a recording studio was added beside the arcade (where starbucks cofe - Annie's cafe is now) Grogan's is pretty much part of the Arcade building. Questar was built around the standing building, then King Arthur's Challenge, then Corkscrew Hill, then Europe in the Air and now - da da duh.....!!! Nothing.
Nora is correct concerning the history of Turvey Manor Fun House. The ride queue, pre-show/loading areas, and simulator ride rooms for Questor, and the other later iterations of the motion simulator, were additions built behind the building that was formerly Turvey Manor | Arcade/Recording studios and the restrooms. Turvey Manor only lasted for 5-6 years and was replaced by the Arcade by the 1981 or 1982 season.
