    The castle is undergoing a repaint. You can really see the difference in the last photo. And the rides information and safety board is gone too.

The reopening date for SDSC has been pushed back a week to dec 16th 

That's fine with me. I just really hope it opens before Christmas, and it sounds like it will!

The large tree to the left of the Scooby Doo castle has been removed.

Definitely think it was a bad idea to remove the tree I do not really now how to describe it but to me it kind of helped give it the spooky, forestry, scheduled feel to the front facade while now it looks very exposed and open which to me is not what they should be going for in a spooky castle. The detailing on the facades bricks look great but I think the brown cone things on top (not sure what they are called) stand out a bit to much and need to be darkened down a bit. I think overall it looks great and can’t wait to see what’s in store on the inside.

I agree, but I think you meant secluded? It is possible something else might be going in where the tree was.

That'd be a 'spire'.

It's sad to see that tree go - i'm pretty sure that was an original planting, and was one of the last ones around the park. I hope the only reason for removal was that it was diseased \ dangerous \ causing structural problems. if its been removed for aesthetics, or to throw in a fast pass booth or something i'd be pissed.

Thought so but I wasn’t very sure. Thanks @AlexB

They need to do something because the tree did hide a very unattractive wall.

 

Hopefully they do do something with it especially they since they have put in so much time and effort in rejuvenating the facade it would be such a shame if they just left it that way even if it is just putting in a new tree.

in a world of movies, where much of the themeing is soundstages, i really don't mind that the castle seems like just a facade, with plain walls beside. you don't theme something if it's not in the shot!

My thoughts too.
