Q: What are optimal siege tactics for taking Magic Kingdom?

Post by kronk's angel » Aug Fri 03, 2012 2:00 pm

What are the optimal siege tactics for taking Magic Kingdom's Cinderella Castle?

Cinderella Castle is the the worldwide-recognized icon of the Disney empire. Physical representations of it stand at the center of two Disney Parks: Walt Disney World in Florida, and Tokyo Disneyland. Assuming it were an actual fortress, how would you take it?
The incredibly detailed response, from a real military strategist, is here:

OMG I laughed so hard!!!! This is really funny.
Marines and soldiers are advised to not use the teleporters. They're a trap. They will only kill your unit and replace him with an evil alien.
and
***Secondary Objective: While in Fantasyland we will have the opportunity to take down the menace of all parents everywhere. The "It's a Small World" ride will be within our reach. Our secondary objective is to eliminate the ride with extreme prejudice. This isn't a capture mission like the castle, but one of complete annihilation. Expect heavy casualties as their adorable repetitiveness burns into your skulls like white phosphorous in the jungle. Our sacrifices will be great, but our suffering is in the name of protecting others.
I laughed so loud I think the neighbors heard. Hubby's reading it now and he keeps saying "This guy's insane"

I like the response in the 2nd entry where the writer approaches the siege using medieval weaponry and tactics; he includes:
"Eventually surround the castle with your vastly large army and hold your ground, using large turkey drumsticks, mouse- shaped ice cream, and some of the larger tourists, for your rations."
These guys need to come over to Subsonic and post sometime - they are my kind of crazy! :lol:

You can go through all that effort if you like. As for my strategy, I just paid $74 and they handed over the Keys to the Kingdom.
Hoping to go back to the Magic soon.
