A classic dark ride without "interactive" shooting, good stuff!
Why can't Knotts do something like this for Ghost Town with an Old West theme?

Cool! I too am glad to see that they are realizing that a classic dark ride is a good choice.

NewsPlusNotes blog is reporting on the progress of the new new Haunted Castle. The boardwalk also has construction photos on their Facebook page. I am not sure who is doing the props and figures, but there are pictures of giant insects that were made in-house according to the Facebook page.

Looks like a company called R & R amusement designs is doing the design part for HC with some other company.While the animatronic pieces and sets are being done by Sally corp.

I think it's really awesome how the new ride will go under the boardwalk as well... just makes it even more creepy!

Big kudos to SCBB for building just a plain, classic-style dark ride. An "interactive" shoot 'em up element is not a requirement. Good for them for realizing that. I can't wait!

Good point jesterMn you can not beat the classic style.Also it looks like its a trackless ride car from the art.

The new Haunted Castle will be a massive dark ride featuring state of the art effects and will be three times larger than the previous ride.

Here is a animatic of the ride featuring concept art. Note that you go underground backward in the ride which explains the new super basement they are building.
