Adventureland sign gone?

[lenshanem]

We've noticed on our last couple trips that the Adventureland sign that used to be in the circular flower bed is now gone. Anyone know what happened?

Every trip we took a pciture of us sitting outside the sign - for years. It was very sad to see it gone! I thought for sure it was just being repaired and would be back, but it was still missing when we went back!

I am not sure what sign you are talking about? Can you post some pictures of it?

My family also had the tradition of getting a picture there and I can confirm it is gone

The last time we saw it was June 2005 for my parents 25th anniversary trip. They have a picture of them before they got married in front of the sign and putting the two pictures side by side was pretty funny! We went back in 2006 and it was gone!

Not sure why they got rid of it, it was a nice sign! We asked a few CM's and they looked at us like we each had 3 heads.

That is the sign. Wonder why they took it down???

Probably rotted. But I can't imagine it would cost very much to have one of the in house artists make another one. :shrug:

I didn't even notice when I took this picture.

Perhaps it seceded form the WDW union?

Shame though...It wouldn't hurt to make a new one though?

 

[DisneyExplorer]

That is strange. It doesn't seem so expensive that if it were damaged it couldn't be replaced. Is it possible it got moved to another location or used in some mysterious project?

Perhaps it's now over in Tomorrowland ! :lol:

It was beside the much grander bridge archway sign. Which is what I consider to be my welcoming to the jungle anyway.

I double-dare you to make one and stick it there the next time you go to Magic Kingdom...

Well, if it's not going to be replaced,

DOWNGRADE.

Wierd, I was going to start a topic about this the other day, I even had it written out, but then figured no one would know what I was talking about. I also noticed that the Caribbean Plaza sign has been replaced by an Adventureland sign. It used to hang in the archway as you were entering from Frontierland.

Kind of par for the course lately!

AHHHHHH!

Oh, even more of a downgrade! Depressing that a mini-land, a neighborhood, a district, a cozy corner, a pocket of perfection, has been erased off the map in the act of making it a nameless entity!

Just so you know, that Adventureland sign has been there for some time now. Here's a pic from December of 2007:

The possibility exists that this is preparation for the signage they'll need to put in that area when they close the bridge to Liberty Square from the hub for the repairs. Since that is only a month or so away, they may just be prepping a signage change and took that one down to make it part of the new package for that area during the construction.

I think the Caribbean Plaza sign was removed during the big Pirates rehab.

You know, I thought something looked a little different when we were coming through Fronteirland one day on our December trip, but at the time I didn't know what it was.

Stupid signage changes! :hammer:
