I heard Universal Creative didn't like how the entertainment fit into Celestial Park. They thought that instead of enhancing the CP vibe, it was a vibe killer. So entertainment has to start over.

This vibe? The poorly-laid concrete and Six-Flags vibe?

Granted, this is not a flattering angle of an area I'm sure I'll take some nice pictures in someday. But still.

Yea, actually that vibe. Stardust and all.

I do like that Universal said, "Well, we could hide the roller coaster but how about we build a MASSIVE roller coaster instead?"

And you know they will fix the concrete before opening. It is still an active construction zone.

Other than a dark ride/coaster hybrid when has Universal ever hid a coaster track or try to even theme the coaster as part of the surrounding land… it does not seem to be in the creatives mindset

Celestial Park seems like the park's biggest disappointment. In concept art it looked like it could be one of the nicest areas but it does not match expectations whatsoever.
I echo Rich Brownn, it's gorgeous. I have issues with Helios as the "weenie" of the park, but the rest of the area is gorgeous. All the foliage is great (it'll really standout as the trees grow), music is great, the waters/streams are amazing.

I don't understand why there's already cracked concrete in a brand new park, but calling it a "Six Flags vibe" is completely laughable. The lengths some of you will go to hate on Univeral never cease to amaze me. Are we bringing back a bygone era of WDWMagic with the Six Flags comparisons now?

Celestial Park is pretty BUT like I’ve said after my initial reaction, it needs about 300% more trees, and they should have tried to get as many mature trees as they could.

It does not look “Six Flags” just because you can see a coaster. For it to look like Six Flags they would have to pour blacktop over all the walkways, clutter the walkways with carnival games, and plaster advertisements and DC cutouts everywhere.

I hope you're right but several people who have been have said otherwise.
None that I know of. The view when you walk in from the portal seems so vast, and so detailed, it' literally caused people to just gasp when I went. For myself, I admit to being a bit overwhelmed (Luna is way bigger that I expected). The combination of greenery, fountains, buildings (even the signs are so detailed), and music makes it unlike any other area of a park I've been to.

People who have been have posted on this website that they were disappointed with it.

Again, I hope they're wrong, because it looked great in concept art. The photos that have leaked (as well as some of the aerials) are not especially impressive, though.
