I was living in Winfield when the castle part of the park was being built. My grandson thought that was the most wonderful and magical place in the world! He could be whatever he wanted to be there. He was often a knight that had to slay a dragon of some sort to keep everyone there safe. It was a very special place for us and will be greatly missed. I just hope the kids that did this learn that you have to face the consequences for all of your decisions. Its great that they feel bad about what happened, but had they just called 911 chances are that the damages would have been ALOT less than they are now.

to the kids that burnt down the castle i know them the truth is that they are complete idiots and dont give a fuck about what happens and if they whould have called 911 in the first place it would have been worse i know from experience its just as worse not calling the cops and running and getting cought then to not run and get arrested with a lot of people around when u seen those flames or no matter what happend people come running like a pack of dogs half to see what all the commosion is about and the truth is most people are total hipocrits they whould be more likly to run than to call the cops this is the gods honest truth
