DaveInTN 3,247 Posted May 21, 2015 Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 I don't know what I think of this. Why change a classic? Adding turrets on each side of the castle improves things how? http://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2015/05/first-look-cinderella-castle-adds-regal-turrets-at-magic-kingdom-park/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jmaul 65 Posted May 21, 2015 Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 I can't help but think this is for a utilitarian purposes vs just being showy. Maybe it'll house the lighting for the hub so those lovely flood lights can come down? House and hide projectors? Close-up pyrotechnics? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beckers 1,136 Posted May 21, 2015 Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 Am I missing something or is that an artist rendering and not a real pic? By saying "first look" I thought it was going to be a real current picture.I agree with Jeff, I'm thinking it's for useful reasons. But I think they look kind of odd since they aren't connected?

The castle walls behind the castle leadinginto New Fantasyland arent connected either. I am guessing utilitarian in at least some respect. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

devores 382 Posted May 22, 2015 Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 The turrets will house lights projectors and show equipment used during the shows on the castle stage and celebrate the magic. They will also house the control booths used for dream along with Mickey. They blend in better with the castle than the current structures.

caveat lector 181 Posted May 22, 2015 Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 It could help with the aesthetics next time the decorate the castle like a cake Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted May 22, 2015 Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 I saw them as they were going up. They are most definitely for the equipment that was on those little buildings on either side of the castle. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If they are replacing current structures that do not at all blend in thematically, then I am fine with it. I only wish they had asked me first. :D Quote Link to post Share on other sites
