In the game
A castle on a hill, its terraces stepping down to the town. Fill the courtyard behind the walls and a ride on every terrace on the way up.
The castle walls are a listed monument: they can’t be dug through, so everyone goes in by the gatehouse or over the walls on a walkway. Flat land comes in narrow terraces.
The Earl has opened the gates of Castle Hill at last, on one condition: not a stone of the old walls is to be moved. The road climbs straight up the hill from the town, past five terraces of old orchards, to the gatehouse and the courtyard inside. Bring the castle to life: rides in the courtyard, something on every terrace, and a crowd climbing the hill to see it.
Castle Hill climbs in five terraces from the town to a walled castle on the top. A road runs straight up the hill to the gatehouse, and the courtyard inside the walls is the biggest flat ground on the hill. The goal asks for rides inside the walls and on several levels of the hill, with a big crowd and a high rating, by the end of Year 2.
The castle walls are a listed monument: they and the ground right beside them can’t be dug or built up, so guests go in through the gatehouse, or over the walls on a raised walkway. The kit has the Haunted House, the Mine Train, the Wooden Coaster, the Miniature Railway, the Chairlift and the Enchanted Garden theme.

Building tips
- Use the road: every terrace meets it, so a short path along a terrace joins a ride to the park.
- The courtyard fills fast: plan its rides before you build.
- A chairlift from the bottom of the hill to the courtyard saves the crowd the climb.
