maliboomer Posted March 11, 2005 Posted March 11, 2005 Okay, incase you didn't know, the MK castle was redone for Disneylands 50th. It looks fine apart from this amazingly ugly stained glass window of the DL castle (i think it's actual size). It's not as bad as MK's 25th Cake attempt but still not very good. From WDW Info
CoasterEricHP Posted March 11, 2005 Posted March 11, 2005 Great Pic.. I was there a few days ago and I thought it looked really well. Not as gaudy as I thought with the figurines all over the place. The Spires look great.. and are very sparkly like the Epcot sign. Aside from that.. the Hub is looking great. Lots of space for Cinderellabration viewing. Wasn't the castle getting a new lighting package? Eric
robbalvey Posted March 11, 2005 Posted March 11, 2005 ^ LMFAO!!!! "They put the Disneyland Castle inside a small window of the Disney World Castle!!!!!" Perfect. --Robb
SharkTums Posted March 11, 2005 Posted March 11, 2005 Where's the big snake?!!? Elissa "it looks WAY better than the cake...but I'm still glad we already had our wedding pictures done!" Alvey
Hattuchili Posted March 11, 2005 Posted March 11, 2005 Great picture. I like the new Walt Disney World Castle design for Disneylands 50th event. It looks so glamorous. --Soeren
RCTfan Posted March 11, 2005 Posted March 11, 2005 I dislike the stained glass picture on the front of the castle. It just doesn't look good AT ALL. Ew. As for the rest of it, I liken. Just remove the Picture, then life would be well again. I've heard through the Epcot Grapevine, the Epcot sign on the Spaceship Earth may be getting removed.

SharkTums Posted March 11, 2005 Posted March 11, 2005 Oh, we will NEVER forget that! I wonder if some people are as pissed about having their wedding pictures in front of this castle, as in front of the evil 25th Anniversery Castle!

Three Posted March 11, 2005 Posted March 11, 2005 At least the cake was creative and temporary. What really pisses me off is that #%*@ing fantasia hat they put in the middle of MGM. It completely ruins the view of the Mann's Chinese Theatre (as well as a very cool hidden Mickey visable from above). It looks cheap and plasticy. And it doesn't fit the theme of the park (I liked the "streets of New York/LA" five it had going, only to mess it up with a friggin' sombrero). Some smart imagineer must've said "hey, this park isn't Disney enough -- let's make the connection way too obvious". I loved the park's laid back, more mature vibe. Ah well... nothing I can do about it. [/rant]
nemesis20 Posted March 11, 2005 Posted March 11, 2005 I agree. The Chinese Theatre IS the 'weenie' of that park. It's now blocked by that ridiculous hat. Andy why oh WHY did they close the back streets???
socalMAN123 Posted March 11, 2005 Posted March 11, 2005 Crap, if they did that to the WDW castle (which I extremely like), what are they gonna do to the DL one? Maybe they will put a big stained glass window of teh WDW castle so it blocks that castle out.

Hattuchili Posted March 13, 2005 Posted March 13, 2005 You don´t like the WDW 25th Anniversery "cake" Castle design? Then look at this, the 5th Anniversery Castle at Disneyland Resort Paris in 1997. I think it looked not better. --Soeren 5th Anniversery Disneyland Resort Paris
ChrisZer0 Posted March 13, 2005 Posted March 13, 2005 Thats the damn ugliest thing ive ever seen Soeren, burn it to the ground. I'll also agree about the 25th cake castle, christ that thing was horrid. I wonder if these decisions were made by the same gang of idiots who built DCA?? Chris "Wheres The Imagineering?"Zer0
maliboomer Posted March 14, 2005 Author Posted March 14, 2005 I was trying ot make one that looked worst then the cake, but I couldn't... My attempt... I tried....
robbalvey Posted March 14, 2005 Posted March 14, 2005 LOL! Not the best photoshop job there, but we get the idea! I'm not the best at Photoshopping stuff, but it would be funny to see if anyone else could come up with their versions of the castle! --Robb
robbalvey Posted November 1, 2014 Posted November 1, 2014 What I love about the Christmas version of the Celebrate The Magic show is that for a split second, they project this design onto the castle: And anyone in the hub that remembers is, you can hear them let out an audible groan. It really was just hideous!
Moose Posted November 1, 2014 Posted November 1, 2014 That's hilarious that they project that hideousness on the castle. I hope they realize how awful it was.
adeuce02 Posted November 1, 2014 Posted November 1, 2014 The stitch castle looked horrendous also. Good thing that only lasted a day
KBrylczyk Posted November 1, 2014 Posted November 1, 2014 Holy crap, what year is it?! That's one hell of a necro bump, Robb, haha! Unfortunately it served to remind me just how disgusting the birthday cake castle was. Ugh. Will they be doing something similar for the Diamond celebration in 2015? I know DLR is on a full force, pedal to the metal, make this place look spotless and gorgeous drive at the moment.
viking86 Posted November 1, 2014 Posted November 1, 2014 Wow those are some truly awful-looking castles posted in this thread! I love seeing these pictures as it's something I never knew about.
