    So execs aren’t happy with it? That’s good news at least. Hopefully we’ll see this vile paint job disappear sooner rather than later.

    The blue is definitely the weakest aspect of it. It just looks vulgar. The pink I could live with for the time being though, but I do hope it changes back after the 50th. I’d love one of the previous colour schemes with a bit of added weathering/ageing like the Tokyo castle. Also a bit...

    I’m probably wrong, but that air conditioning unit (?) is no longer in sight. Maybe it was to hide it?

    The trees really aided the view down Main Street and it’s a shame they’ll never return. I made this a while back (5 years ago apparently...) to see how the castle would look with Disneyland sized trees and it works: Paris looks fine without trees because of how the castle is framed, as does...

    The general consensus seems mostly positive from what I can tell, oddly. If that is the case I can't see this going anytime soon...

    Since 2006 the main body has been ever so slightly pink, yes (it was slightly blue before). The spires also changed slightly in colour too. An ideal colour scheme for me would be the original with some of the extra detailing the Tokyo castle has for ageing.

    It's less than ideal (and I'd rather have the original colours), but darker spires would've helped tremendously:

    Should WDW open?

    No, no it shouldn't. It's far too dangerous at the moment, and the situation in Florida is atrocious.

    Splash for DLP Gives Way to Western River Expedition?

    Disneyland Paris has never felt "complete" to me without a water ride, so hopefully it will happen one day.

    I don’t know whether to laugh or cry since I can see this happening one day...

    I hope you're right. It would be a massive shame to lose such an iconic name.

    Definitely. They certainly used to care more about it. If they wanted to add some gold elements to the castle for the 50th, fine, but the way they’ve approached every aspect of this has been wrong. Subtlety was what was needed, not this. That’s an old photo with the colours altered.

    Disgusting. The worst thing is I’m sure many people will like it which in Disney’s eyes will be an incentive to keep it. This is pretty much how I expected it to initially look. Not perfect, but a lot better than how it turned out.

    I always assumed they’d add another layer on top to make it glisten like the art, but that’s not looking to be the case.

    I’m really not feeling it. If the colours were to be tweaked further like the concept art we would’ve seen it by now surely.

    News Splash Mountain retheme to Princess and the Frog - Tiana's Bayou Adventure

    This ride has the chance to be truly fantastic, but I’m not convinced the Disney of today will be able to make a ride that can match or surpass the original (although I hope I’m proven wrong). If we were living in the days of Eisner/Wells I wouldn’t be as concerned, but the Disney of today will...

    Splash Mountain re-theme announced

    As my favourite ride I’m bummed about it, but honestly I can see why it’s changing and I’ve made peace with it happening. It helps having Tony Baxter involved as well, even if we don’t know how much he’ll be contributing. Whilst I’d love nods to the original (like Louis playing a bit of...

    This would’ve been ideal. I always preferred the extra detailing the Tokyo castle has and it would’ve been nice to see something similar. Based on the concept art for this project I actually thought we could have got something similar (albeit with a slight shade of pink), but obviously that...
