I know the castle was already painted pink, but the new lighting at night makes it look, as my mom said, "pepto-bismol pink". It is SO bright and neon-like at night now it's unbelievable. Darkbeer, could you get some shots of both the front and back (pretty) please?http://www.miboards.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

top pic was taken just after the tarps came down after the refurb and before the Christmas stuff went up. Bottom pic was taken just a few days ago.

IMHO - the top pic looks MUCH better. How they have it now just ruins all the nice work they did on it.

the one on the bottom kinda looks like all that pinkness is coming from lighting.

Yep. And notice the darkness towards the bottom and the sides. That looks like too much lighting IMO.

I think the new lighting looks great. Notice how some of the pink is now blue in the upper parts. Boy it really reminds me of the opening of wonderful world of color. The Tv show walt disney hosted on sunday nights. Bravo to the new lighting. It is much better than before!!

I too prefer the top picture. It looks brighter and more welcoming then the bottom.

Well, it could be worse. Ever see the Pepto-Nightmare that was inflicted on Cinderella's castle at WDW for the WDW 25th? YUCK! It was the ugliest, tackiest, most despicable eyesore ever inflicted on the Disney-going public.

I also like the top picture better, but I know my daughter will love the bubble gum pink. Maybe that's what they are going for-the Princess Brigade!

i like the top better too... i think the bottom would look better if maybe the pink light was more of a purple... then, you would have 2 dif. colors of castles, pink during the day and purple/ blue at night... nice change i think. and, purple/ blue matches better with the night sky than pink... doens't stand out as much.

the top of the bottom pic (the part that's more purple/ blue) looks nice though.

Maybe they're tweaking mood lighting? WDW's castle changes color all night - my favorite color being orange.

Quote from Birbaum's Official Guide:

As part of the 50th celebration "A high powered projection system will create different "looks" for the castle at night, by changing its color, or even by adding animated characters."

Sounds pretty neat. Pink one minute, purple the next, etc.

It casts a pink shadow over on Splash mountain, it's so bright. It's really, really horrid.

Pictures just don't do the neon qualities justice.

As I've said elsewhere, it's like they're trying to make the castle ready for another remake of "The Fast & The Furious".
