Here we go for a new Hong Kong Disneyland update about HKDL Castle transformation. First, i have to thanks Gavin Jones from Coaster Force who shot the pictures and kindly authorized D&M to post them in this article.
So far HKDL released the two artworks above and below showing the new castle day or night...
...and HKDL castle model was displayed at the last D23 Expo, picture shot by Andy Castro.
As you'll see in the pictures below new elements of the castle arrived and are now being put in place on each turrets. I'm still dubious about the final result considering the mix of syles and the size of the castle in regards to Main Street proportions, but let's give them the benefit of the doubt until the castle is finished and open in the first half of 2020. So, le'ts have a look at the pictures, would we?
What is more problematic is that it seems that some "gold" parts mainly at the very top of the turrets seems to be only painted with gold color instead to have the gold done with gold leaf. On the screen capture below the gold of the crown and others decorative elements is probably gold leaf, but the cone right under them really looks to be gold painting only.
HK Main Street Gazette does a very good job by posting each week a new 4K video showing the progress on the construction, and here is their latest video posted just two days ago.
I remind you that one of the reasons that the castle include different styles is because it is supposed to be a tribute to thirteen different Disney princesses - or considered as - and on the fences around the castle guests can see some artworks which are "hints" for each characters. The characters don't appear on them, only the "world" they belong to and i let you guess who is who, which shouldn't be very difficult...
See you soon for a new HKDL update!
