The story of Mystery Castle
Phantasialand introduced Mystery Castle in 1998, adding a substantial vertical ride to the park in Brühl, North Rhine-Westphalia. It remains in operation today. de.wikipedia.org· coasterpedia.net
The attraction was built as an enclosed Bungee Drop Tower rather than an open-air free-fall ride. Its passengers travel within the dark tower, where the ride’s machinery can drive the carriage both upward and downward. de.wikipedia.org· phantasialand.de
Ride Trade, part of Intamin, developed the Air-Drive system used by the attraction. The result is a neatly contained piece of vertical engineering: a 65-metre tower concealed within the castle and a swift ascent before the descent begins. de.wikipedia.org· intamin.com
