But where in Fantasyland would it fit best? Is there even any room for Rapunzel to have a tower in there? ORDDU: Actually, dear, if you stop to consider how Sleeping Beauty Castle was built roughly four years before Princess Aurora was awakened from her slumber to meet and greet Disneyland guests, your question isn't so premature as you might think. A tower in Fantasyland for Rapunzel would be quite the attraction and could be used by many a hunk who was in the mood to prove his manhood. Just imagine a long line of Tom Cruises, Chad Lowes, Keanu Reeves, Patrick Swayzee's, (sp?) Ben Aflecks and Brad Pitts' trying to show off their strengths and endurances by climbing up a long rope of my--I mean--Rapunzel's hair!! The reward for reaching the top would have to be a kiss from the damsel waiting and rooting for them at the top. The only thing I ask is that--just once--Rapunzel would call in sick for a day and allow me to be the one handing out the kisses. ORGOCH: Weren't it bad 'nuff that the prince in the story a Rappin' Rapunzel got scared ta death by a witch 'n went blind when she pushed him out the winda? Soon as some jerk climbed up all that phoney hair--only ta see another hag, like yerself, ya can bet he'd let go from the hair and take a flyin' leap instead of a kiss from yerself! ORWEN: (sigh) All I wanted to know is where the best fit for a Rapunzel tower would go in Fantasyland, ducklings. Any ideas???

For some reason, the corner of the Pinocchio queue and Village Haus seating area seems like it's rarely used, and they could use a partial scale on the tower and set it back a little. Depending on what the movie is like, the Italian area could definately have the right theme too. They could also move it closer to Snow White, but if it's too far, it might get in the way of some castle pictures (like the Snow White and Peter Pan facades do from time to time).

A tower doesn't require much of a footprint, and since the skyway station is already located on a little hill, it would help with any forced perspective they may wish to employ. But the jury's out on the movie, so I'd guess they'd rather wait and see.

But I DO like gadzuux's idea of building the tower up where the former Skylift attraction used to be. Whatever the case, I DON'T like the idea a certain nasty old biddy seems to be behind. Rapunzel deserves a full-blown tower for guests to enjoy.
