And I think it was much better there. It was so much fun to be able to get a glimpse of him every time you walked by, it made that area feel special. Not theres nothing there but some projection crap.
Curse of DarKastle

Santa's Workshop was replaced with the cookie decorating experience. Additionally, Santa was moved because it needed way more space, not just because the park wanted put it somewhere else.
I don't have a problem with Santa being in the castle since having multiple Santas makes it a huge capacity boost, but I wish they would decorate DarKastle more to make it look more like Santa's workshop and less like... DarKastle.
Look i’m trying to forget about that cookie experience since the cookies sucked so bad. With Santa hidden away in that castle it’s more like the Wizzard of Oz than The Night Before Christmas.
The project was cancelled and DarKastle was gutted instead to give Entertainment the event space the department needed.
We really like Santa's Fortress of Solitude. They have done a good job with the space. Unfortunately the extremely high ceilings and black curtain walls do affect the illusion of being in a small workshop, kitchen, etc.
Seeing Rise of the Resistance POVs today makes me miss this ride even more....
Must be pretty cool to have that kind of budget to be be able to build such a sophisticated set. I was never a Disney fan, but yeah that was over the top impressive.
Found something cool at the office, little magnet.
Oh - I thought it was delayed due to technical issues and getting the show building sets in place though once again my memory sucks... Thanks!
It was not a fountain officially, but styled as one. It only ever housed plants and rocks. It was removed and replaced with a tree for more shade.
Yeah originally it was meant to appear "frozen" like the rest of the castle but it was never that convincing.
