ATTENTION "Main Street USA" (This is for you)

[head mouse]

Anywho, as soon as that dang mirror comes down can someone please grab a pic? I need to see the castle without that dang thing ASAP. I've forgotten what it looks like. And I'll go ahead and respond with a "very funny, and thanks so much" to the smart who grabs an old pic and shows me.

Ya read my mind. I was going to give you a classic pic of the castle.

And just for fun...

Wow! Thanks for the pics! Is it just me, or did the castle look taller back then?

I am guessing over the years the ground has sunk a little.

Are you joking??? Seriously, did you mean that? I only ask because there is no way that could be true.

Um.. I was not joking. Fla is 90% swamp. MK is sitting 14 feet above ground adding weight. It is VERY possible for the ground to sink a foot or 2 over the past 3 decades.

Yes,but then the whole property would have sunk, so the castle would still appear to be just as tall.

thank you for bringing some much needed logic into the argument.

Do the cm's bang thiere heads on the bottom of the castle as they walk through the utillidors?

No, that where the ICBM's are kept.

Not necessarily. There is A LOT of weight in that one spot.

Place different sized and weight items on a piece of foam rubber and see how they react.

I didn't say the castle sunk into the tunnels. I said the GROUND may have sank some.

Relax people I am not saying the thing is going to fall. I am just pointing out the over time the gorund settles more and buildings sink some.

I think the illusion of the castle being taller is more a matter of the golden figures messing with the forced prespective used in the castle. Any sinking of the castle would have also caused massive damage to the utilidoors and the systems that run through them. Though sinking of this nature is not unheard of on WDW property, I do not believe that this is the case.

 

[unkadug]

Besides that the castle is probably one of the lighter structures per square foot in the MK.

 

[jcowens2000]

I seriously doubt the castle is sinking. If you compare the two pictures at the beginning of this thread, you'll find the reason the blue print version appears taller is because it includes the portion of the castle that is under water.


my 2 cents.
