Picking up where we left with yesterday’s CRPR (Castle Rehab Progress Report) thanks to InsideDLParis (aka Matthew Burggraeve) we can now present you with the latest developments of the most prominent current refurbishment project at Disneyland Paris: Sleeping Beauty Castle.
As a reminder we start out with a photo taken on Wednesday, April 27th – seen on the left. It shows the castle still with all tarps up at the front facade but already with a white roof on the highest turret and the roofs completely missing on the second turret to the left of it as well as (barely visible in the photo) on the second turret on the right half of the castle if coutning up from the top of the scaffolding.
As already reported yestereday the tarps at the front facade of the castle starting coming down yesterday … revealing that also some work was done to the rockwork at the base of the castle – including the picturesque waterfall to the left of the draw bridge, which can be seen in our next photo on the left.
The third and final photo of today’s CRPR courtesy of InsideDLParis shows the castle at (roughly) 10:30 am today, Saturday April 30th. As all the tarps have come down on the front facade of the actual castle the new colors cal already be seen through the remaining scaffolding. A look at the right border of the photo shows that the printed on tarps are still up on the scaffolding covering the archway leading from the castle to the right (so behind the Castle Stage).
Also note that the roof of the top turret, that had been stripped of the old colors on Wednesday now already received it’s paint job with the new color scheme selected. A comparison of the two photos of the castle from Wednesday (April 27) and today (April 30). Shows further progress – sure the roofs of on the two turrets mentioned above are still missing. But there are now three more roofs of turrets that are all wait, that means that have been prepared to receive their new paint job: the small side turret on the highest turret as well as the next two turrets to the right from it in the photo.
While the rehab of the castle will continue for a while longer with the scaffolding at its front facade coming down guests will soon be able to get their traditional souvenir photos once again in front of a shining, good-as-new castle!
