Disney plans to build a massive dynamic art installation on International Drive

I still don’t really see the need of this thing…..it seems like a bunch of money down the drain over egos. Makes me hope epic is a juggernaut of a park.

I think it’s the first move in a “window dressing” period in Orlando. We’ve seen it before.

Eloberate if you will?

They’re done with capex in Orlando for quite some time - my theory - so they will do this kinda thing to draw attention to themselves as they repackage and sell the standard/old product. It happened post millennium…they did it for stretches in the Iger years too.

So you mean no real investment so a lot of extra marketing ?

All the electronic billboards should have maximum brightness set by regulation. IMO
When they are that bright at night I look away and it kinda defeats their purpose

It's a heck of a traffic distraction at night - especially at the Kirkman/Universal entry ramp that merges onto a merge lane.

I only have a fleeting awareness of them, but my understanding is that there are regulations regarding brightness, movement, etc. for digital billboards but they tend to extend so many feet from the highway. The easy loophole is to build something big enough and just far away enough that these rules don’t apply.

New graphics have started being displayed today as the 50th graphics have been removed.

That’ll show universal who’s boss…as they complete the biggest park complex addition in Orlando since the 90’s

And of course the millions of dollars spent to put this up are so important because people on I-Drive don't realize that Walt Disney World is just down the street? What a colossal waste of money while they value-engineer important projects like actual attractions....

Part of me makes me wonder if they just brought all that stuff in a giant LED screen sale... and then didn't know what to do with it.

Same with the iridescent paint they brought for the 50th.
