河滨市城堡乐园11月2日起暂停营业大修,迷你高尔夫与游乐场照常开放

河滨市历史悠久的城堡乐园(Castle Park)宣布,将从11月2日起暂停营业,进行一次大规模翻新改造。据主题乐园资讯网站AllEars.Net 10月11日报道,乐园方面表示,游乐设施区暂无重新开放日期,但迷你高尔夫球场和游乐场在改造期间将继续开放;水上乐园“海盗湾”(Buccaneer Cove)仍计划按原定时间于2027年5月重新开放。
城堡乐园官网发布声明称,此次投资旨在“为游客和河滨社区打造重新构想的体验,延续多年来家庭在这里创造的美好回忆”。
城堡乐园由主题乐园先驱巴德·赫尔巴特于1976年创办。据KTLA报道,赫尔巴特曾设计诺氏百乐坊(Knott's Berry Farm)多个早期经典游乐项目,包括“卡利科矿车”(Calico Mine Ride)和“木材山原木滑道”(Timber Mountain Log Ride),还制作了悬挂在诺氏百乐坊独立厅内的自由钟复制品。赫尔巴特年过八旬后,于1999年出售了城堡乐园。
去年,杜丽伍德(Dollywood)和银元城(Silver Dollar City)背后的母公司赫申德(Herschend)通过收购宫殿娱乐(Palace Entertainment)在美国的资产,将业务扩展至南加州,旗下资产包括城堡乐园、激流勇进水上乐园(Raging Waters)和Boomers娱乐中心。

Riverside's Castle Park to Close for Major Refurbishment Starting Nov. 2; Mini Golf and Arcade Stay Open
Riverside's historic Castle Park has announced it will temporarily close beginning November 2 for a major refurbishment. According to theme-park news site AllEars.Net, which reported the news on October 11, the park has not announced a reopening date for its rides section, but the mini golf course and arcade will remain open during the closure. The Buccaneer Cove water park section is still scheduled to reopen in May 2027 as originally planned.
In a statement on its website, Castle Park said the investment is meant to "create a reimagined experience for our guests and the Riverside community, building on the memories families have made here for years."
Castle Park was founded in 1976 by Bud Hurlbut, a theme park pioneer. According to KTLA, Hurlbut designed several early attractions at Knott's Berry Farm, including the Calico Mine Ride and the Timber Mountain Log Ride, and created the Liberty Bell replica hanging in Independence Hall at Knott's. Hurlbut, then in his 80s, sold Castle Park in 1999.
Last year, Herschend — the parent company behind Dollywood and Silver Dollar City — expanded into Southern California by acquiring Palace Entertainment's U.S. properties, including Castle Park, Raging Waters, and Boomers.
