New castle headboards for club level rooms at Disneyland Hotel

I wonder how many paintings have they produced for the castle transformation.

Love this particuar shot as it perfectly show the stylistic parallels between the new castle and mystic manor. No matter what I think of the new castle (and I do really like it), you have to give HKDL credit for finding their own aesthetic that is unique.

Yes!!! I was afraid that the red-blue colour scheme and jumbled towers would end up looking like a huge mess, but this is one of those rare cases where the actual thing is miles better than the concept art!!!

Imagine the blues as a cascading waterfall.

I'd love to see Mystic Manor in person, but one issue I have with the pictures I've seen is that it looks too "new," and almost plastic. Like it needs a bit of weathering. Anyone who's actually been there feel that way or is it better in person?

I can't wait to see more photos of it!

Walt never liked faux weathering, which is why even DL’s Haunted Mansion is looking mighty fine from the outside, and Galaxy’s Edge is a real stylistic clash. Walt’s way is by no means gospel, but he did have a good argument for it... evoking charm and positivity through representing each area in its golden age. Can you imagine if Main Street was looking weathered?

I personally don’t think Mystic Manor would benefit from weathering but it definitely does look like it underwent a number of renovations over a number of different time periods. The stones on the staircase practically scream new.

Any word on reopening, they ran tests and then....that was it..

I think that the park will reopen when the group gathering ban is gone.
The ban has begun since 29th March and supposed to be ended on 18th June.
But the government tends to keep extending it, so let's see : )

comparing the newest aerial videos with the one in April
the frozen coaster is getting taller, it's now even taller than the IASW show building
hope it could turn out be an impressive ride with some interesting show scenes

Watch when it’s exactly the same track layout as SDMT.

As long as the coaster didn’t siphon off the budget from the big Marvel ride, it’s still an improvement over the dancing sleds.

The coaster will be quite similar to Gadget's Go Coaster.

I already call it the Candy Castle XD. I do think it's a very good thing HKDL is getting a more exclusive look!

Also, they've begun with the track for the new coaster!

I think better texture is what would help Mystic Manor more than weathering, which suggests something that has become a bit worn and neglected. Mystic Manor all reads as rather flat and plastic instead of the different materials like wood and stone.

It does resemble the drop track for Mine Train:

Gadget and Barnstormer use a much simpler track:
