Wow, I can’t believe I missed the watchman, twice on my recent rides on Geisterschloss. Then again I remember there being an extra shadow maybe.
I first rode this in 2016 and remember being somewhat mesmerised by the attraction, given its spooky theme and similarities with the long gone Wicked Witches Haunt (formerly Phantom Phantasia) at Thorpe Park. An attraction as such began my obsession with dark rides.
Having watched numerous older POVs recentl, it seems the attraction had better character and ambience in earlier carnations (especially the 90’s). The happy family additions which must’ve been added around my first trip certainly appear to have done the most damage to the original attraction.
Geisterschloss just needs a full-on reimagining, somewhere between the likes of Piccolo Mondo and Pirates In Batavia. A Modernisation whilst upkeeping the spooky theme and character. The token add-ons and some Haunted Mansion stuff could go.
A significant update needs to be the next project (if not already) once Croatia and Re-imagined Austria are complete.
