The area was created as a quaint, 'Central-European' town square to one side, where the entrance to "Prof. Burp's BubbleWorks", shops and eateries were located amongst the town buildings, then a path set back from the town leads to the castle entrance of "The Vampire". After the park's various changes of management, the area was repeatedly changed in a piecemeal fashion to more of a haunted Halloween style, though most of the fascia remains under various repaints and alterations. Vampire's entrance was moved to an unthemed metal archway in 2001 and the original BubbleWorks entrance recycled as a 'Fastrack' queue in recent years.
