So at first I was horrified with this new paint scheme. Then I saw the photos of the other castle, and to be honest, it's not brown. It's more of a tan color. And, in my opinion, it looks a lot richer and more, well, I guess the term would be "wealthy"-looking. While I agree that the original is always going to be the best, after seeing how they're going to incorporate the colors makes the original grey castle look so plain! I think it's going to look more elegant.
And to the poster who said "gold barbed wire" ... I think that the castle never looked better. The gold was absolutely stunning. In fact, I think they should have just kept the gold up. Minus the big mirror.
Let's not even get started on the castle cake. Whoever thought of that idea must have been eating some very special brownies. Sheesh.
