News PHOTOS - Cinderella Castle at the Magic Kingdom to receive enhancements this summer

[Magicart87]

A picture is worth a 1000 words, but video usually does the trick. I suggest you mute the video, and pause at around 5m00s

Based on that video. I think they should consider renaming Cinderella Castle the Figment Fort.

Based on @tirian's photo they should consider renaming it to Lotso's Loft

In an effort to make the Castle more immersive Disney will be implementing Scratch-N-Sniff.

Still applies...

Is this today, and one on both sides of the castle?

 

[tirian]

The fact that it's been used repeatedly for websites and publications doesn't make it more (or less) accurate.

I also wish they'd stay truer to the concept art, but the sunburnt color in your picture is not how it looks like irl.

Reality doesn’t matter; the point is that the media shot is ugly.

Looks like Christmas special taping is going to happen soon.

Is that during operating hours?!

Yes just now. It’s two separate stage areas in front. I don’t think I saw anything in the back when I walked by there earlier.

But if I watch that video, YouTube will keep suggesting those to me.

Just kidding. I watched that moment, and on an overcast day, it’s still ugly.

I did this, too! Did NOT want to offend!

I understand that people could see some resemblance, but I'm old enough to be this guy's dad ( )

It's overcast which definitely has an effect, but it certainly looks better in that video than it does in some photos (like the one posted earlier).

The problem is that it still looks pretty bad in that video and significantly worse than it did before.

And worse than it could look.

I'm starting to notice that Disney's track record of great work and sometimes work against them when they do goofy stuff (no pun intended) like this. We know what they're capable of, and this ain't it.

It’s not just that they’re not hitting home runs. So much is simple stuff that is taught in design schools.

Thanks! I did what you recommended, and I think it does give a good idea of what the castle might look like IRL.

Video (especially cheap phone video) doesn't have an inherently better color coding than still pictures, sad to say.

Exactly. The AP photo might not be absolutely perfect, but it’s a professional guy who shot and edited it at a skill level much higher than most people.

D’oh! Foiled again!!

Alright. I give up then. I have no idea what the castle actually looks like at this point (but I do know that the old color was better). I will make a trip to WDW as soon as possible to confirm my bias.

Until then, I will continue to consider all photos and video of the castle as merely a vague representation of what the castle truly looks like and will not trust in them to inform my well-formed opinion in any way.

Wear sunglasses, that blue hits like a laser beam.
