This is a silly question really, but has anyone ever thought that the MK castle would look 1000x better if it was rotated 90 degrees so the eastern face was the view you got down Main Street? http://www.fifesnp.org/castle1.jpg I found this picture and I think the castle looks WAY more epic and majestic from that side and quite plain from the front. Am I alone on this one?

Re: WDW Castle turned 90 degrees
The story I heard is that the Imagineers couldn't come up with a castle that suited Walt, it went on for quite a while. They finally came up with this castle, only they were going to use the back of the castle as the front. When Walt started to say that he didn't like the castle, they quickly turned it around and he loved the other side.

Re: WDW Castle turned 90 degrees
I think the current front has a better central section than the side of the castle in the above photo...so for me I would leave it just the way it is. The castle is the only part of Fantasyland that I wouldn't want to change.Down with the Hat

LOL That would be awesome, can you imagine dining at Cinderella's Royal Table, starting in Fantasyland and ending on Main Street.
Just saying..

Re: WDW Castle turned 90 degrees
I suggest they hook the castle up to one of the train engines and just roll it along the perimeter of the park. You'd have to knock down some tunnels or raise them about 160 feet, but if your kid wants to go to the castle you just head to the nearest station and wait for it to roll up. Just imagine floating through the finale scene of Splash Mountain as the castle rolls by overhead!
If that won't do, maybe we can just use elevated rail. "In the future, you may find the CastleMover in your very own hometown!"
