If you have enough RAM and enough time and roll your own .WADS, you too can assault cinderella’s castle – in damn near any FPS that has come out since 2000.

I’d pick Q3TA, personally.

There’s not a direct assault on a castle, but Greg Rucka’s new book Alpha deals with a terrorist takeover of a Disneyland-ish location. Very cool book, well worth your time.

Now I want a mashup of Cinderella with voices from Aliens.

The state of our intelligence on the strength, armament, and disposition of the Magic Kingdom Defense Force is woefully inadequate. I fail to see how any serious planning can proceed until we learn what kind of opposition we are up against.

Nuke the entire site from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.

I wonder if Disney might license one of the major video game studios (not EA, PLEASE!) to make a video game that happens at Disneyland (or Walt Disney World, Florida) while the whole place is shut down/deserted/long abandoned (or is it?).

I can see many different ways this game might play out (straight action shooter, tactical shooter, post-apocalyptic with or without paranormal elements…) Just make it “open-world” and let players go anywhere (even where visitors to the parks can’t normally go) but fill all the nooks and crannies with interesting/weird/eerie/creepy stuff.

So much potential. Probably never going to happen.

Also, Beverly Hills Cop. As I recall, Axel Foley used a clever disguise to infiltrate the perimeter.

I like the plan that involves sending a ninja up the cable. All others look like suicide missions given that the castle is very tall, and filled with tiny windows. There’s no way you’re going to see a sniper before he sees you. I guess blowing it up is against the rules.

Wasn’t there an assault on a castle at a theme park in one of Tom Clancy’s books?

Amanda: WDW = Cinderella’s Castle, Disneyland = Sleeping Beauty’s castle.

That castle was never meant to be an actual fortress. Even the real castle that it was modeled on, Neuschwanstein, was just a show castle build by an insane king who never intended it to survive a siege.
