You're right. That's why I've been repeatedly saying that they're not making an active effort to lessen the look of that thrill. I've never talked about the flume itself. That's fast and screamy and intense and everyone knows it.
I'm talking about the mountain around it.
I find no fault with it, so I don't know if I got roped in here. The effectiveness of it is what made me feel it had to have been intentional. I'd never once thought about the original as partaking in forced perspective, but posts in this thread have caused me to take a second look and notice...
Because then nobody can whine that there are no mountains in Louisiana. :hilarious:
Of course. But that would be a waste of resources and the outcry from those who were against the change would be overwhelming. But the large trees and water tower installed in the foreground seem to be...
Who on earth cares if the existing caves have white crystals on the walls or not?
That looks cool, but it would have the opposite of the effect. A small tree makes it look taller and it needs to look smaller.
We could... just... say we don't know how it's going to wind up and we'll wait and see and be happy about things that come out that are encouraging and not jump to conclusions saying things will happen that we don't know will happen.
But suggesting that in the past has had me dubbed a "pixie...
Well... the rockwork wasn't pointless when it was built. Yes, it is pointless now because it is a relic of a past creation. They could reshape the entire mountain, but that would take plenty of extra time.
Okay. I was confused as well when I jumped in here. And there's plenty of pages and...
That seems to be it. The material around the circumference looked far too flimsy for permanent construction, especially if water were involved, but as a concrete form to be pulled away afterward... it just makes perfect sense.
While the buildings are historic and rustic, they're being...
What is going on here? The reason for the colors is obvious, but what for? The bottom of some sort of small pool in the queue? Given the blue border, I'm assuming this is the final arrangement. Is it going to be glued into place and be a ceiling feature? I've no idea.
In the earlier discussions of the possibility of speeding logs through, it was mentioned that such buildup was something happening *if* things go wrong. But in the last number of the trips to the resort I've taken, such a buildup has happened on every water ride I've been on, seemingly waiting...
I agree. All signs point to it being hidden. I was just referring to your words of... and I just realized that I misread "Does it really matter to you whether a fence was there or not when its going to be covered up?" as "Does it really matter to you whether a fence that was there or not is...
There we go. That explains why I was well aware of staring at lights at the top. But considering I've never been able to get down without closing my eyes and leaning in (which makes for bad ride photos), I can understand misremembering the detail.
