The skating rink turned night club was called Castle Gardens. Burned to the ground in 1985.

My sister and brother-in-law both worked at Fascination and I played there all the time. In fact, up until 2010 the Dorney Park Fascination tables were in use on the Wildwood boardwalk where my wife and I got to play on them in 2009 some 35 years after first playing on them. They were removed in 2010 due to the owner having health issues in the family but they may be back in the future. Look up Mr. Fascination on the internet and you will see the owner of the old Dorney tables.

Out of state owners siphon all the money off and don't give squat back to the community. A head of a non-profit told me that they are the worst company they ever tried to work with.
