Description: During October, Castle Park bills itself as “Castle Dark.” During the day, it claims to be “the perfect place to bring the kids for Halloween” – promising that children “can trick or treat, ride the rides, and enjoy all the fun and excitement of the Fall season, without a single scare.”
When the sun goes down, the terror arrives, courtesy of two mazes, “Insanity” and “Carnevil,” plus Slider Alley, and scary themed rides, including the train ride “Terror on the Tracks.” For 2012, Castle Dark promises to add a new, as-yet unnamed maze, which the park describes thusly:
…a Main Street in a small American town that has been taken over by evil shop keepers, creepy citizens and horrendous otherworld villians. Town includes a Chili Shack, Chainsaw Kitchen, The Doll House, Motel Hill, Slasher Family Mortuary and a Morgue.
