"Our crew in Wisconsin worked tirelessly this season and rebuilt the castle after it melted almost to the ground, only to watch it melt again just days after opening. Despite our best efforts, the weather this year is too warm to sustain operation," a spokeswoman said in a statement.

Organizers are hopeful that the weather will cooperate during next year's event.
