Shanghai is getting a new castle...why not give each resort it's own unique castle?

Any word on who's castle is going into Shanghai?

I was watching Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland recently and the thought struck me that the Red Queen's castle in that would be AMAZING to see at the end of a Main Street...

How about this one?

They gave the original castle an owner to tie it in with the soon to be released movie.

Yes, Walt did character tie ins. He originated them.

But don't let facts get in the way of the opinions around Disney fan sites.

Walt actually slipped up on a Disneyland TV show once and referred to Sleeping Beauty Castle as "Snow White's Castle".

Reminds me of the show building for Jurassic Park at IOA. You see this massive structure and think you're in for one helluva ride only to be very disappointed.

There is concept art. What I have seen is very fuzzy but the castle looks massive compared to others.

I think it makes very much sense that Paris has a Sleeping Beauty Castle. Sleeping Beauty seems to be one of the most known fairytales in Europe. While "Beauty and the Beast" is very much a French fairytale. I am sure that they wanted a fairytale which was known to as many people as possible and DLP was originally built very much as a park for all of Europe, hence the name "EuroDisney".

Don't say that too loud, universal may do another refurb and end up with a shrek land.

I like that DLP's is Sleeping Beauty's castle. Hello...DRAGON!!! None of the other princesses at that time would have allowed for a dragon to live underneath the castle.

I don't think there would have been enough of a promotional benefit to giving the castle to Belle like there potential was with DL and Sleeping Beauty.

As for two different places having the same castle. I'd prefer originals but we all know that the Disney Parks are magical places where the impossible becomes possible. Who says a castle can only be in one Kingdom?

You know, in several pages not a single person has stepped up to back the "new castle" confirmation. It's especially interesting to me because the original plans called for a doubled DLP castle. The logic being now there is two of each - a logic I do not really enjoy but it is what it is.
