Ever since it was announced that Hong Kong Disneyland’s castle would receive a majestic transformation into the Castle of Magical Dreams, fans have speculated what the castle would look like in reality after being given the following concept image:
Fans no longer have to wait, as the Castle of Magic Dreams is nearly complete, and is ready to greet guests when Hong Kong Disneyland reopens on June 18. A series of photo updates and screenshots come from Twitter user @CyberbbLawrence revealing the castle’s facade as the park prepares for its imminent reopening:
The castle is still flanked on the sides with scaffolding, so it seems there are still some final touches being added.
Here’s what the castle looks like on the back still, with scaffolding rising up over the main body of the structure.
When completed, the castle, replacing Sleeping Beauty Castle, will feature details inspired by thirteen stories featuring Disney Princesses and heroes, including Mulan, Brave, Moana, and Beauty and the Beast. It will also serve as home to outdoor stage shows and a new Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique.
A themed construction wall depicts all of the princesses and heroines featured throughout the castle.
The castle is only part of Hong Kong Disneyland’s multi-year transformation, which will include a new family roller coaster themed to Frozen, Wandering Oaken’s Sliding Sleighs, plus a version of Frozen Ever After. Be sure to check out our latest report on construction of the attraction here!
