That's a good point, you don't see the towers from afar but you are keenly aware of them as you approach the hub. I'm sure it will all come together and be more cohesive in the end.

Frankly that's my concern as well. They do significantly narrow your view of the theater, which I thought is now supposed to be THE view after ripping out Mickey's sorcerer hat. But maybe the thought is that our eyes will be on the sky now, for fireworks?

Here's another facing the theater. Looks odd to me though having two different colors opposite another.

I snapped this today, they added metal 'roll up' doors. And it looks like blue and beige are the final intended colors. The blue does match the blue building in the background (formerly American Idol) and the beige matches the beige building on that side.

I prefer theme park view buildings and from what I understand there are only two now, since DVC snapped up other options: Aotearora and Tuvalu. I would recommend both.

The arches were that bad huh? I vaguely recall them but will do a search and take a look perhaps my mind has already selectively edited them! :rolleyes:

Ah that's why, I get it. I guess in some ways tech can make for a more (or less) relaxing vacation. For example I'm typing this on my iPad at the Poly right now- but I wouldn't be doing so if the resorts still provided a free USA Today for their guests.

You will love Liberty Tree Tavern great atmosphere and food. I agree so much wasted potential with Diamond. You can sense there is history there and that with the stage and the upper balcony area, that it's meant to be more than it is right now. As others already noted a live show is a no-brainer.

Ditto here with the chlorinated pool smell! Pools always Remind me of Pirates and IASW. But it's not the same, it's missing that distinctive "funk", if you know what I mean? What is that?

Made my reservations for the Diamond Horseshoe a month ago and just ate there today- what a disappointment :( The place was virtually empty at peak time, which should have been my first clue. The food was ok I guess, but just not worth $84 for two after tip- for lunch! I'd gladly pay that at...

Yes bring back more physical effects! While I can appreciate CGI I think there is a point when it's just too unbelievable, if that makes sense?

You're right looks like it would be relatively easy to do.

I agree and perhaps the best effects are done utilizing both practical and CG. I'm a special effects makeup hobbyist so can appreciate the art form. BTW I hit HM again today and the interactive ending WAS different than the one I had Monday! Do you think they program them that way for each band...

Pasamike, why do you think it is that fewer cruisers are glued to their phones?

HM is my favorite attraction at MK and I never ever noticed until today the gal blowing out the candles! This is why I love these forums, new friends sharing new things. Thanks! And FYI my interactive ending was different today than on Monday :)

Thanks John WD. So I visited HM on Monday and I have to say, I enjoyed the interactive ending! However I agree that, ideally, the ghosts should appear 'less CG' to better match their animated forms. And I hope they switch up the endings so riders don't see the same one back to back. I'm back...

OK I made it to COP on Monday and although the outdoor pre show monitors do cover some of the history behind the attraction, I watched and barely anyone was paying attention. It was a good sized crowd and most were staring at their phone screens or chatting with one another (if anything I prefer...

Yes we need the 'new' Hatbox Ghost scene at WDW! The one at DL is amazing, if I do say so myself :rolleyes: I'll be at MK this afternoon will check out the ghost blowing out the candles I never noticed that either.

I didn't notice the monitors before, I'll have to check it out. Yah moving indoors would be great.

Some great ideas here! Regarding COP I agree updating the last scene or two would keep this show relevant. I also like the idea of a pre-show que explaining the shows creation and history (World's Fair) before you see it, this way it can be more appreciated within that context.
