You can read all about how they came about during the Chicago World's Fair in that fantastic book "The Devil in the White City" (which made Steve's recent reading list). <BR/><BR/>Mark and I recently took a ride on one and took pictures.

Later I tried to get tickets for the tunnel of horror, since it was an "indoor" sort of ride, but it was closed too--there had been some lightening and thunder, so everyone just closed up.
