The area, originally named 'Transylvania', was created in 1990, modeled on a mock Barvarian town street, with tall European Architecture. It opened with two major attractions, "The Vampire" and "Prof. Burp's BubbleWorks". "Vampire" is a steel suspended floorless coaster. The original Arrow Dynamics trains were replaced with Vekoma trains during a closed season in 2001, reopening in 2002. "Prof. Burp's BubbleWorks" was a dark water ride that took guests through an animated fizzy pop factory. For 2006, it was rethemed to an Imperial Leather toiletries factory. Bubbleworks closed on 6 September 2016 and was replaced by "The Gruffalo River Ride Adventure" in March 2017.
