Since Sleeping Beauty's home is an American icon, Management supposedly felt a need to protect it. ORWEN: But, if you ask us, they over-reacted and over-protected. I mean, if a Terrorist REALLY wanted to blow up the castle, he could find any number of ways to do it without being inside the walk-thru. ORDDU: Others have suggested that the castle walk thru was closed because of laws that protect and promote handi-capped access. But--if THIS were true--they would also have to close down Tarzan's Tree House because it is not wheelchair accessible either. ORWEN: There is a rumor going around that Hong Kong made eventually add a Sleeping Beauty walk-thru inside THEIR particular castle. But, first, the management over there wants to wait and see what their guests prefer before going ahead with such an idea. ORDDU: In the meantime, Sleeping Beauty fans must continue to hope and pray that our original castle walk-thru is re-opened some day soon. Maybe Matt Ouimet can do it for us...
