Wait is that the control panel minus the buttons? Holy crap
Came across this interesting video. Never seen those commercials at the end and some of the other footage for that matter.

About those photos shared by @Burnouts something about them is just so errie I was wondering when those photos were taken
They were taken in Summer 2005. I was an Apollo’s chariot ride operator at the time. I snuck in, while attending the park as a guest one day.

You wouldn’t happen to have any more pictures of that particular maze inside the building, would you? It’s really cool to see maze from that time in such good quality.
I don’t, as an obsessed Drachen Fire fan, I looked at the maze stuff as a frustration.
Only took a couple pics to get the floor and roof.
That makes sense. Thank you for being honest! Lol
Here are some great shots from the entrance Plaza to Drachen Fire. These are circa 1992 just before opening.
Not a single Coke ad in sight.
Look at the detail back then...we need that back so badly...

To ride it
No seriously
Please our ridership is low because it’s rough
Can’t help but notice some of those trees have six fingers. AI confirmed!
Today I learned about the banners on the side of Festhaus and the exit signage on the back side of the entry arch. Super cool details to see!
I hope they bring them back for Holzfäller!! (sorry if it's the wrong thread!)
Fest house looked so much better less like a giant warehouse.
Sorry for bringing this thread back from the dead but I've been working on a recreation of Drachen Fire in Planet Coaster 2 (been a longstanding tradition of mine going all the way back to RCT1) and this thread has been INVALUABLE. I do have a question about this site plan though. I noticed that the queue line as shown in the site plan doesn't really match up with what I've seen in pictures of the area, both before the removal of the first corkscrew and after. Did the park decide to change the layout of the queue between when this site plan was drawn up and construction? Or did they originally build it as shown in the site plan and then change it later on? It would have had to be pretty early into Drachen Fire's life because I've seen photos of the queue line when the first corkscrew was still present and it looks very different from what's shown above.
