Cinderella's Castle & The Pumpkin Coach (circa 1967)

There is nothing make-believe about this castle conceived by Joe Selby.

Travel by inside the Pumpkin Coach and six White Mice, powered by a Jeep, over a watery moat to the Castle Gate. Then roam the passages and turrets where animated displays of this magical story play behind glass and unfold before your eyes. Along the winding path meet Cinderella as she is pursued by Prince Charming with the magic slipper. Trompe l'oeil busts are painted on the Prince’s ballroom backdrop.

This 3-story building made of traditional Baltimore Formstone with multi-color turrets was devastated by arson on Tuesday, June 23, 1992 doing $40,000 in damage. The White Mice and Pumpkin Coach were converted into a picnic and play areas when park was reopened by re-opened by JHP Development in the summer of 1994.

The Pumpkin Coach was restored in June 2004 and was sold at a charity auction to for $2300.

On July 16, 2004, The Pumpkin Coach was listed on eBay with an opening bid of $6000. The action closed on July 26, 2004 without any bids.

By the end of August 2004, Martha Clark had purchased The Pumpkin Coach and made it a happy part of the Clark Family's Children's Petting Farm, only a few miles away from The Pumpkin Coach's original home at The Enchanted Forest.
