I saw one at the Animal Kingdom last weekend and it did stick out like a sore thumb...but at least they disguised it.

I live in New York (Westchester County) and they have one of those on this parkway. It looks awful. It is taller than all the other trees. It's just funny. You can tell it's a cell phone tower and they only put leaves on like 1/8 of it. I should try to get a picture! :lol:

They look much better than the tower alone,
I was talking to an engineer involved with the project and found the are placed in the locations that they are in for coverage reasons, and not wanting to 'double' up coverage by getting 2 towers to close as that would be a waste of money.
The Animal Kingdom tower provides coverage for the Animal Kingdom Lodge that is why it is not in the park.
Epcot has 2 Towers, the first is located in the Epcot parking lot without even trying to hide the other is in World Showcase, and unless someone tells you where you would NEVER find it. When asked why the antenna was not placed on the 'wand' over Spaceship Earth he said that wand may not be there forever.
The Magic Kingdom area has 2 Towers, 1 just Northwest of the Grand Floridian the other on top of the Contemporary Resort.

Are you talking about the one on the Merritt (is it still the Merritt in NY?) by the rest area? I thought at first it was real, until I noticed how odd it was.

No, but it is near the Merritt. It's on the Hutch by the Mobil Station between Mamroneck Avenue and North Street exits. It's hilarious. People of upper Westchester must go crazy when they see that! :lol:

Very true about the World Showcase one. It's inside the American Adventure tower, if I remember correctly.Robfasto said:

The cell trees are a very common thing along highways in rural areas now. The other day I was driving to PA and there were a bunch of them along the road.

instead of hidden mickey's, we can now all look for hidden towers!

I guess everyone on these boards lives in the tri-state area, because I know exactly which towere you are talking about it and it sticks out.
Personally I think the towers are great and seem like they are hidden tastefully. Full Nextel service in the parks are great especially when trying to communicate with others. (except of course, when you are riding the jungle cruise and your cousin wants to know if you want a turkey leg over the walkie-talkie feature. I became the butt of all jokes for the rest of that long long ride.)
Now If nextel would only consider putting in a couple more towers in northern NJ we'd be golden.
