That railing they put on the castle looked absolutely redonkulous when they put it up, and now that the 50th long over, are they going to take this thing down already? It throws the scale of the castle completely off, and just looks incredibly tacky.

Re: 50th railing on castle
The railing doesn't bother me. I didn't notice when they put it up and if it's still there I wouldn't know.

Re: 50th railing on castle
I like some of the gold trim on the castle, that was left after the 50th.
It does make the castle look a little more classy.
A curious thing, though. The 50th Big Figure Castle didn't have that
gold rail. However the new big fig that was just recently released
does have the gold rail.
There have been a couple threads here which some have indicated that
the rails up there do have a purpose ~ safety reasons for the few times
that people are up there, such as New Year's Eve.Critter Country's a mess ev'r since the Country Bears were kicked out.

Re: 50th railing on castle
Does anyone know if the railing is practical, or purely decorative? If people are trotting across that spot on a regular basis and are prone to falling? One would have to be going a bit out of his or her way to get near that edge if the pictures are correct. There's quite a bit of room between the window wall and the arrow loops.
There's a lot of assumptions being made (myself included).

Re: 50th railing on castle
This is a bit from a MousePlanet update from 2/14/07...
We wouldn't want Mickey to fall
At some point recently, a gold-colored decorative railing was added to the second floor of Sleeping Beauty Castle, on just the three sections at the front of the castle. While it looks fine with a quick glance, a closer look shows that it hasn't been well integrated with the castle's architecture. The rails have just been installed over the crenelations and have a very temporary look.
Presumably the upcoming celebrations will have people up there more often than usual and someone (or some government agency) thought that having the barrier top at knee level was a recipe for injury.

The same area, in this photo from last New Year's Eve, shows how the crenelations only come up to a person's knees. Photo by Adrienne Vincent-Phoenix.
