Curse of DarKastle

We’ve figured out why DK needed to be closed. Dark rides are essentially just theming. As we all know, as soon as you get on a coaster, you will forget theming. So, maintaining it was just a waste of money: most people would just forget the whole ride, as soon as they got on Alpie or Bolt.
For the uninitiated without the deep BGW meme knowledge required here:
I sure hope they never make a pin to commemorate this colossal waste of money and space...
Wait what was supposed to happen to dragons?
(also a HTTYD conversion of dragons would be sick ngl)
The post was from April fool's day was a reference to the first April fool's day post in 2012. It's worth a read for those who haven't been around long enough. https://parkfans.net/threads/april-...s-announces-new-childrens-area-for-2013.1175/
Dug through my camera roll and found this from a few years ago.
When you get Microsoft Visio access and simultaneously get extremely bored in the office:
Bit of a poster. Wish BGW put out posters and more wall art themed around their attractions. I also have one for Nessie.

My family and I loved this ride. It's a shame they closed it because it was one of the few rides were you could get some much needed air-conditioning in the VA summer heat, the ride was perhaps the best indoor movie type ride outside of Universal or Disney. Imho, I feel like BGW needs more of these type of rides not less. Not everyone loves huge coasters. The park has very few smaller rides and most of those are not ever working.
Totally agree, DK was amazing for what it was. I can still remember being a kid and marveling at that tower.
This one time I was
Lots of good memories on this ride. I guess that wasn't the best one but still, lots of wonderful times. I miss the old were-prince.
Were they actually destroyed though? I thought someone saw them on a trailer rolling down 60 to an undetermined location...
Here you go. And that was the other wolves…not the ones at the entrance

It’s been a long time, but I still haven’t gotten over DarKastle’s departure, and I don’t think I ever will. Universal and Disney’s dark rides may be fancier, but this one will always be the best to me. Nothing can top hearing Ludwig‘s corny lines. Seeing how Busch got rid of the wolves is, for a lack of better words, really, really sad. Is there a logical explanation for why they got rid of them? Since they haven’t put a new ride in, I don’t see why they couldn’t have at least kept the castle looking interesting and themed, instead of abandoned.
