Note that Rob Swinson has photo showing construction of castle underway in 01/91 & Zipper was already en-route.

Since castle & zipper were built in previously approved "Play Area" perimeter, it's likely that temp. permits or informal agreements were made prior to 08/91 approval.

The castle (91) falls squarely outside of James' honeymoon era of 1988-89 - where he describes their sexual relationship as growing.

James: "When [I] started puberty at age 12, [MJ] began to prepare [me] for separation.. This [separation] grooming period spanned several months."

We know that there was never a bed in the castle even after completion. Multiple employees with deep knowledge of the property (Sunberg, Scanlan) have confirmed this.

Swinson recalls MJ spreading ride brochures out across its carpeted floor. It just had "a little TV" in it.

Here's a clear video showing the carnival area and castle at Neverland in February 1993. By the end of 1993, he had added another six rides and by the mid-1990s the area had expanded to at least 18 rides in total.
