The pictures of the different castles along with the year that park opened, rotates every few minutes just like one of the billboards that you would see on a highway. I wanna say its 3 sided but I cant remember right now.

The big one hanging off the front of Cinderella's Castle as part of the HCOE. It isn't a mirror, but its made to look like one. As UltimtMickeyFan said, its made up of a bunch of rows of three sided "boards" that rotate into position to make up the pictures of the castles.

Yeah, HKDL is represented on there. There are really only 3 unique castle designs, so they really only have 3 pictures. The names and dates of the parks are actually seperate from the rotating pictures.psuchad said:

HCOE ends on Oct 1, 2006.
The 3-sided panels are called Pariactoi (sp) and were invented by the ancient greeks for use as scenery for early plays. The game board on Family Feud is a large, single pariactoi.
Because the first castle built (Disneyland, CA) and the last castle built (Hong Kong Disneyland) look the same, and the second and third castles built (Magic Kingdom and Tokyo Disneyland) look the same, the casltes are presented in chronological order.
Clever Greeks...

Ha! I've been there twice during this celebration... never noticed it. However, I do remember hearing about this a long long time ago when I first learned of the changes to the castle.

I love the mirror! I think it's really clever. So the mirror will be taken down again after the Happiest Celebration On Earth?

Ugh...the 'mirror'...
That thing never works...never will. Just trying to get through these last 2 months with it. Don't understand...the I-4 billboards seem to work fine all the time... :veryconfu
TRIVIA-
You'll notice (maybe 50% of the time if we're lucky), the Castle will stop on Tokyo Disneyland during Cinderellabration. Why? Because that's where we got this...uhm...'show'.
During Wishes, it will also stop on Tokyo Disneyland...NOT because we took it from Tokyo...but because they only allowed us to make it stop on one scene...and that Tokyo for Cinderellabration.
Originally it was supposed to be an LED video screen. But of course with budget cuts...it turned out to be an I-4 billboard. Oh well...maybe in the next version of it, you'll see an ad on the Castle for the Main Street Emporium... :brick: (joke)
