I like what I see, and it looks like we may see the return of the trees in the moat, or at least some near there.
Originally Posted By gurgitoy2 Yeah, I was going to say, it looks like they put trees back in the moat. I hope that happens. Also, from what I heard, they are fiber-optics, so they will never be seen during the day. It will just look like fallen snow.

Originally Posted By gurgitoy2 I think it's supposed to be both. During the day, it will look like snow has fallen on Sleeping Beauty Caslte, and at night during the fireworks, it will come to life with fiber-optics and LED's.

Originally Posted By FerretAfros I think what's going to happen is there will be an additional cover to the roofs of the castle. It will be white and fluffy and look like snow, but it will really simply be a way to hide all of the lights and fiberoptics. They will stick out just enough that they will be seen at night but not during the day. All of the wiring and electronics stuff will be hidden while just the tips of the lights show, hence they are embedded in a faux snow bank. As for the falling snow, I assume it will be done with the bubble machines like what's usually done after the fireworks. However, they could also do something with projections on the castle, or even have some preprogramed light sequence to make it look like the snow is falling on the turrets by having lines of lights light up in order (but that probably would be the least convincing of these options). Overall, the shimmering from the lights should give the castle a freshly fallen snow look, but actually just be some old-ish fiberglass.
