The Crystal Maze was a mirror fun house that opened at Olentangy Park in 1899.
Description
The building was a standalone structure that was 27 x 40 ft. (8 x 12 meters). Sixty huge plate glass mirrors made the building appear much larger than it was. It created several reflections of the visitors that move in all directions. There were false doors causing other visitors to laugh when someone runs into a pane of glass[1].
