They´ve refurbed this area not long ago but now there are again these fences around the sword in the stone:

What are they making there this time?
It's the second round of the first refurb. :)
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah :lol: thank you for clearing that! I was scratching my head cause they fenced it again! :mrgreen:
they are punctual aren't they... first week of september, holiday's over and whoop there they are with those good ol' green fences! :D good to see they're keeping things clean though...
The maintenance department must have just had a cheque clear or something. All these refurbs and loads of new dates announced. Still nothing major for the Castle or Treehouse though...

The (very tiny) account me wonders if maintenance hasn't used up all of its budget for FY 2008 - and is now spending what it can before someone gets the idea that they don't not that much money in the future... :wink:
so with the fences up is this the end for the Sleeping Beauty show
or has this been and gone?

Been and gone, although according the latest in its topic (viewtopic.php?f=1&t=4251&start=60 (https://forum.dlpguide.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=4251&start=60%22%20onclick=%22window.open(this.href);return%20false;)) there's a chance it'll return for the Christmas holidays.
i hope it will be back for the christmas season.....
any particular reason why this area is being refurbed?

General wear and tear clean up! Also gotta make the area safe for the Merlin happening during Halloween.
The refurb is quite extensive:

I swear Kristof lives in the castle! He's got photos of everything!
he dose live in the castle ;)
I am glad they are taking a lot of care of the most wonderful place in the world which is DLP, but i have to say when I go I hate to see refurbs being done as the fences spoil the scenery but hey, these things have to be done. I wonder why they feel so much needs to be done to that area.

Didnt you hear? Just like the Rocher Qui Bascule in adventureland, it was deemed to unsafe. Aparantly the steps were to dangerous onto the sword platform. Concrete ramp is being installed as we speak now ! :lol:
OMG haven´t they refurb this thing lately in spring time for this sleeping beauty thing?! Every half year a new sword?
Hey!
Can anyone please kindly inform me when the works at the castle courtyard will be ready?I hope they will be ready by the 5th of october,when I visit dlrp :P
Thanks
did you hear anything new? Are they finished?
The works were finished on either Tuesday or Wednesday of last week. I have a picture of myself and my little man trying to putt out the sword so I'll post it on here tonight.
Looks very clean and sparkly and I think we were one of the first to try it out as it was fenced off when we left and then opened when we got there at 8.20 the following morning!
Here are the pictures, hope they show something viewable for you.

I can't rotate the last two while at work (stupid work computer doesn't have flash player) so I'll rotate them tonight.
ii think it was Wednesday it was un-covered for the Not So Scary Party as they had a show using the sword during the party ;)
