"If anyone noticed the top scafolding on the castle has been removed and you can see the new paint job. I was just wondering what people thought of it. I like the blue shingles but I'm not to keen on the gold it's almost like it's too yellow, it makes it look to fake. but I dunno that might just be me."

It's really hard to look at. I saw it around 2 for the first time in weeks, and the sun reflecting off the tower hurt my eyes!

Well as of this morning, more was uncovered showing the lower set of stained glass window and the Disney crest. But by about 12:30 the whole right side was naked.

I actually kind of like the paint job, and I thought it would be horrid. The crowns, though, I dunno, maybe they'll change their mind about that.

BTW, you know that spire that's not supposed to be painted to symbolize that Disneyland is never finished? Guess what, they gold plated it just like all the others.

Well, Disneyland is finished because they are now building things on the cheep. Many times they use compaines for parts on attractions that go out of business shortly after they make that part.

i hate to say it, but maybe it's time for it to be finished, i mean, we're running out of places to put things... it would be really hott to keep it going forever, but come on, the city of anacrime is pretty much kept alive by disney, i imagine, then agian, there are other parts of the park that are yet unfinished, perhaps we could sign a petition and have it delivered to Matt Ouimet, asking for the spire to be unfinished, because Disenyland will nevre be finished making Magical memories, not until long after the park is done.

Well I do know that the A lead on Storybook has been talking to management about getting that spire stripped down to wood once more. We'll see if it works... ::crosses fingers::

i'll survey the scene, and decide whether or not to talk to my managers as well, our GSM hid in Fantasyland for over ten years, i imagine she'll have a thing or two to say about it.
