Curse of DarKastle
Curse of DarKastle

Curse of DarKastle was a dark ride located at Busch Gardens Williamsburg in Williamsburg, Virginia. It was a hybrid dark ride which combined roving motion-simulating vehicles, 3D projection animation, physical sets, in-vehicle audio, and special effects (wind, water, fog, and lighting). Curse of DarKastle carried a rider height requirement of 42 inches, but with a sign warning that scenes within the attraction may be too intense for young audiences. The ride took place in an abandoned Bavarian castle, haunted by evil ghosts and a demonic werewolf. The attraction closed on September 4, 2017, to make room for a new Howl-O-Scream haunted house named "FrostBite". It was assumed that the ride would return after the end of the event, however, plans were announced to utilize portions of the attraction’s space for a Christmas themed event. In an interview with the park’s Vice President of Marketing, Dan Dipiazzo, it was discovered that returning the attraction to operational status was undetermined. Dipiazzo confirmed that, as of late 2017, the attraction was still operable. However, due to high maintenance and operating costs, low ridership, and ongoing budget cuts at Busch Gardens' parent company SeaWorld Parks and Entertainment, the ride was officially announced as closed on January 23, 2018. The building became a special events space themed to a fictional German castle in 2018, with much of the gothic theming removed from the exterior and interior. On September 6, 2022, Busch Gardens Williamsburg announced that a new, multi-launch coaster named DarKoaster would open within the existing structure during 2023.
