Did they change the stand since yesterday? If not you still have a beautiful prop sitting atop a stand with all the elegance of a cinder block.

I would not count on it unless your trip is in October of 2026. ;)

Welcome to construction in 2022. Demand is outpacing supply in pretty much every facet. In my particular niche, we have more than enough work for us to run 3 shifts but can only get enough materials to run 1. Even if materials suddenly became available, the labor is not there to staff them.

See "Caprica". ;)

You design for the worst-case scenario. In the case of a static mounted plane, a wind blowing at 90 degrees to that flat surface is your worst-case scenario. For the Star Blaster, that worst-case would probably be the side or rear profile. If the area of the plane worst-case is more than the...

Without getting too complicated and delving into too much minutia, the larger flat surfaces of an actual aircraft will most likely be worse than the multiple smaller surfaces of the Star Blaster. To borrow an analogy someone previously used, it would be a larger sail and catch more wind. If...

While I am not involved in road construction, the construction industry has been hit with supply and labor shortages of every kind. Under the current conditions, it can take months just to get the slab poured or even the most basic 3/2 house. You could be waiting for a few more months after...

This.^^^ It looks like garbage and there is no reason for it too. I would be behind it 100% if they were recreating a landing platform from the comics or the movies, but I have yet to find a picture of a Star Blaster in a landed position in either. Hopefully, they will at least retcon this...

This post shows how little you know me. I will walk past it without giving it a second thought. (If I ever go WDW again, but that is another topic) This is the first time I have posted an opinion on the appearance of the stand as I was waiting until they were near or at completion. My hope was...

No doubt, but they went from chunky to super chunky. IMHO a display stand should be as invisible as possible. This is the exact opposite of that.

I don't know how they did it, but they managed to make a bad thing look worse.

1. I would opt for quick service meals. It will save you a ton of cash and you can come and go as you please. The only exception would be character dining if your kid is into it. My girls loved it, but I know plenty of kids that absolutely hate the characters. 2. I would have a pool day possibly...

It could not be worse than their outdoor/garden items. Noting screams "quality" like outdoor items coated in paint that fades in a matter of a few weeks or is put together with water-soluble adhesive.

One thing to remember when comparing the two works is the Hobbit was for all intents and purposes a children's book. The Lord of the Rings was an adult tale. In short, LotR is simply a better, much more involved story.

Typically, Easter day is quite busy at MK. It is not quite as bad at the other parks. As mentioned earlier, Easter falls pretty late this year which will undoubtedly have an effect.

It literally does not matter. When designing a support like this you have to account for wind coming from every direction. While wind will more commonly come from a more lateral direction, there are a myriad of common circumstances that can cause it to move in any direction imaginable. A common...

This is incorrect. Planes are designed to cut through the air with as little resistance as possible while still producing lift when moving forward. When parked or statically mounted, the wind is going to act on those flat surfaces just like it would a sail if it is coming from any other...

FTFY ;)

I have a coworker that is doing exactly that because of said bits.
