	Speaking of Sleeping Beauty's Castle... [Archive] - MousePad
		I've heard before they named it Sleeping Beauty's Castle to tie it in with the movie they were planning on releasing at any time (though not until four years, later, but how were they to know).
		I think Sleeping Beauty was a bigger hit in Europe than the US (witness the release of Sleeping Beauty on DVD in France and not here).
		Besides the Paris castle actually looks like the castle in the movie, so if you were going to rename one of them, it ought to be the original since it's the most generic and you can't see the Sleeping Beauty walkthrough anymore anyway.
