The Nickles family plans to introduce a new amusement concept at the pier to replace Castle Dracula, taking advantage of advances in ride technology to provide a one-of-a-kind ride. Nickels said the ride could wind up being the tallest structure in the city. All 12,000-plus square feet of the former castle site will be utilized, he said, and the attraction will be one part “entertainment” and one part “actual ride.”

I'm having a hard time trying to figure out what this ride/attraction will be like. It sounds like some kind of themed drop tower, perhaps with a pre-show. Perhaps a Tower Of Terror with a more generic drop at the end (as opposed to the elaborate set-up at MGM Studios). Still, $4 million doesn't sound like it would buy that kind of experience.
I'm still curious, either way... As much as I miss the Castle, I think that something new and different will make the owners a lot more money.
