As someone who has a connection to vlad the impaler he's saying that he would have liked this ride. But wonders why the the theme from the exorcist is in this.
Wow! I'm having major flashbacks! I LOVED this ride back in the day. We used to live in Logan, UT in the summers and made an annual outing to Lagoon. It's a joy to see these vintage rides again. I recall the glow in the dark tunnels rotated at one point - one one way and the other the opposite way so as to cause the riders to feel as though they were tipping over a bit. SO MUCH FUN! And you posted this on my birthday. I was born Oct. 6th, 1965. Thanks! Great job!
I remember growing up and I couldn’t wait until I was old enough to ride this ride, since I got tired of the terror ride. My daughter won’t go to Lagoon cause of the real scary things that happened there!
I wish you could all see a Bill Tracy dark ride close to when they were 1st created. Most of the “black boxes” with spooks that Tracy made have been replaced, destroyed by ignorant patron or repainted/ rethemed. You still get the crooked beam and the barrel room but you miss out on the waterfall, flying bat and ghost, lady getting sawed in half, guy flushed down toilet ect ect. They were something to see.
@@gspendlove When I first went on the ride back in 2006, the ape was a feature of the nearby Terror Ride. But I remember the sawing scene and waterfall.
I definitely liked and subbed thanks for suporting lagoon so more people keep in in buisness and yes Ive been on every ride exept cliffhanger double thunder racing and sky ride sorry for bad grammar
Looks like the ride is still pretty much the same except they took the dragon out after the Headless Horsemen and replaced it with something else and also the guy that was hanging with the spikes rolling under him has been changed as well. Last time I was at Lagoon was in 2012. Glad it still looks pretty much the same. Terroride changed though since 2012, rooms have been changed and the vulture that was in the front is now moved off to the side near the ride op booth.
@@mrknowhere6457 I saw a video of Terroride and saw the renovation. It looks nice. I guess it was time for a change because when I was there, the rooms were outdated.
i once made my friend go on this ride with me like 3 times because i thought the guy working there was cute and he helped me in and out of the cart every time we went on it😭i don’t even like haunted house rides, i had my eyes closed the whole way every time😂
Oh, man, another Memory Lane! I see they still use the same carriages, with the front lid that gets locked down during the ride. In the 1980's after that first right turn out of the portrait hallway, you entered a room full of mirrors and a strobe light, so you saw dozens of images of your carriage, and the whole thing was momentarily disorienting in the blinking white light. A lot of the scenery is the same - I remember the skeleton blowing the mine shaft - but some is totally new to me. Were the rolling tunnels just not working or have they made them permanently motionless? And, ha ha, looks like they just gave up on the exit doors entirely. There used to be a set of doors at the end just like at the beginning, but it seemed one was always falling off hinges, or not closing again, or whatever.
They have changed this ride up quite a few times over the years. They changed both this ride and terror ride in 2007, and gave them both some new animatronics and effects. In 2010, they did the same thing, and added more, larger scale animatronics to both Dracula's Castle and Terror Ride. Most of the effects added in 2010 stopped working after a couple of years, and have since been replaced. In 2017, they completley re-did and re-furbished all of terror ride for its anniversary, and did some changes to Dracs that year to, so some of the effects in the ride right now are still relatively new.
how come the rolling tunnels or trummels WHATEVER THEY CALL EM don't turn anymore ? that is cool part of the ride!! Lgoon NEEDS TO GET THAT PART OF THE RIDE OPERATIONAL AGAIN them not spinning , takes away a big part of the coolness and spookiness of the ride!! just my opinion ! when i 1 rode this ride as a child , that was the best part of the ride WHAT A SHAME LAGOON WON'T TAKE THE TIME AND MONEY TO FIX THE BEST PART OF DRACULAS CASTLE!!!
Also if I remember the S curve room right before the skull rock water room was a room covered int Tinfoil with strobe lights. Like way back in the late '70's
One employee explained to me one time that they were making people motion sick. Kind of a stupid reason because many other rides there make people motion sick all the time and they’re still running. But whatever.
That’s the 3rd haunted house the King Kong look alike has been in, the Haunted Shack, Terrorride and now Dracula’s Castle, along with a bunch of Frightmares scare zones and houses on the way there!
Creepiest thing about this ride is how run down and neglected it is. They should either return it to it's original state or overhaul and start over with updated animatronics and effects.

I miss Dracula's conversation with the head in the crystal ball. And I used to know "Sparkey's" speech by heart.

I lived in Cache, too! I miss this dang park so much, and can’t wait to revisit it again someday! 🩷

@@kelsearoyer lol urban legends is all.
Just went on this last weekend; it is BADLY in need of maintenance. 😢

Probably one of the absolute closest is the Haunted House in Ocean City, Maryland.
I kinda remember a giant ape and a dragon inside Dracula's Castle, was there one there?

They also took out the goblins at the end and replaced it with a house. In 2017, Terror Ride had a complete renovation, which is why it looks so new.

When I worked this ride in '97 the tunnels were not turned on. I was told that it was they were deemed a liability.
Just a little update from a recent rider, Frankenstein's pants have fallen down, exposing his metal hip, and the siren no longer works
2:19 scared me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That thing always freaked me out when I was a kid, I feel ya 🤣

Its awesome how well kept that thing has been, especially since it still works today.
Wish they would fix this ride.

I think it is perfect
Me and my friend got banned from riding this because we went 9 times
Hey, what camera are you using for your videos Bro?
You need to post a videoi of the owl
fr THOUGH
Cheesy AF... But hey, I like cheese.
I can see why that guy wanted to put Castlevania music into this ride. It feels boring without it.
where is that place and location
Read the title
The owl not there anymore??
It’s still there.
@@DarkLordNick999 i love this owl
Really kind of a boring ride in my opinion
I bet the original 70s version was a lot better....
