Mystery Castle is not only a drop tower but there is a story behind this tower. Uld von Wildhoven built a large machine with which he tried to combine the positive forces of the visitors in order to expel the ultimate evil from his castle. 

Mystery Castle
Mystery Castle is an attraction in the German amusement park Phantasialand. It is a partly Bungee Drop and partly a walkthrough from attraction builder Intamin AG. The attraction is located in the Mystery theme area.

The story behind Mystery Castle:
In his greed for power, an ancestor of the Von Windhofen family entered into a pact with the devil. That was clearly the wrong choice: none of his descendants grew older than thirty and Mystery Castle became invisible in the landscape. To overcome the curse, Uld Von Windhoven, the youngest man in the family, built a large machine with which he tried to combine the positive forces of the visitors in order to expel the ultimate evil from his castle.

The ride:
The first part of Mystery Castle is a walkthrough. Visitors walk through different areas of the Von Windhofens castle. In a number of places, actors are set up who present themselves as mystical creatures and whose purpose is to scare visitors away by suddenly leaving behind a pillar. At the end of the walkthrough is an animatronic of one of the Von Windhofens.

The bungee drop is located in the 65-meter high tower, the speed is 92 km / h, and there is room for 48 visitors. After the brackets close, the lights dim and the passengers are shot up. The bungee drop has three journey programs: two short ones, with the passengers going up and down in one go, and one long one (for when it's quiet, for example). The chairs first go up to about half the tower, then fall down again, after which they are brought to the top at a height of 65 meters at a high speed.
