Rumor Cinderella Castle turning rose gold for the 50th

[JustAFan]

I get the desire to dress up the main icon for such a celebration, but I think any addition or change to such an important piece should be subtle and very carefully considered. Nobody wants another birthday cake disaster.

I adored these gold accents. I'd love something along these lines for the 50th. But not rose gold. I'm a Millennial woman and I'm sick of everything rose gold.

They have done several overlays in the past...It's the 50th Anniversary...It deserves to be celebrated in grand style...at least as much if not more than what Disneyland got for their 50th... Seems like we always get the reduced version of everything in the Florida parks though.
I am hopeful they will do something amazing...at least on the level of what they have done in the past...

It's better than Pepto Bismol pink.

It's better than Pepto Bismol pink.

...and shaped like a cake!!! Even though, I still voted NO. I wouldn't be bad if it was similar to some of the previous overlays,
but if they, (Disney), goes nuts, covering the whole castle in the same color or variations of the same color, NO.

Remember - It will not be risky, big, or bold. Expect anything done to be muted. It's the Iger Way©.

Traditionally, GOLD just GOLD would be rather nice. Forgot when it was when it was a GIANT CUPCAKE but that was different for the short time and the celebration. Rose Gold I'm really not in favor of.

Lets us also remember at one point.....This was thing..

Mischief Night?

 

[MisterPenguin]

I wouldn't mind if the castle decoration was just a slowly evolving projection throughout the night. The strongly colored castle at the beginning of HEA with the gold and silver filigrees are gorgeous.

Mischief Night?

I wish...It was to commemorate Stitch's Great Escape's Grand Opening...

 

[Rambozo]

Hopefully this is just a rumor. I don't want to look at this for 1-2 years.

I wish it was renamed as the Great Hall of the People in commemorating the overthrow of the feudal dynasty that enslaved Fantasyland.

For 2 days.

For 2 days.

At least we get to see Cobra Bubbles for the opening day event.

How 'bout we don't ruin the park's #1 icon for the park's milestone anniversary ...again

Wouldn’t having the castle rose gold, screw up the projection mapping anyways?

 

[MMFanCipher]

I don't understand the obsession with rose gold, but if they plan on changing it back after, then sure.

No, with a matte finish you can project anything onto it.

 

[MisterPenguin]

No, with a matte finish you can project anything onto it.

You'd have to change the projection to compensate for the change in hue.

 

[OG Runner]

You'd have to change the projection to compensate for the change in hue.

I am not sure you would be surprised, but looking at the current projections, over a number of different colors on the
building, it is not a problem.

I am not sure you would be surprised, but looking at the current projections, over a number of different colors on the
building, it is not a problem.

Projection mapping accounts for all the hues, their intensity, their albedo, their texture, their shape, and their orientation.

If there is a checkerboard yellow and green, then everywhere the projection lands on the yellow, that portion of the projection is color corrected (they remove yellow). Similarly, wherever the projection lands on the green, then that portion of the projection is color corrected.

Such corrections can only go so far. You're not going to get an image that is supposed to be white to look white bouncing it off a blue surface. But if the surrounding image is blue-corrected, they mind can be tricked it's seeing white.
