Could anybody here who has access to nearmap possibly get aerials of the spine of FW as well as guardians?

I believe @Truk777 is your guy for that but nearmap updates on a monthly basis I believe and they already posted recently. I may be wrong though.

Some fun old stuff from Bios collection:

Where did all the trees go....

Nearmap is only updating Orlando area twice a year lately. Typically May and November. I don't think there was much to see when they alst updates. I'll take a look and post if there is.

And there should be a Google update in January released sometime Jan-Feb.

I mean, they’re kind of interesting and futuristic. It’s just—

Some imagineer must have googled “How to minimal functionality but maximum light pollution path lights for sale SEARCH”

Really dislike those lights. Way too tall, not particularly attractive looking, terrible light pollution. A disappointing development.

Ahh, so that's where the lighting poles they were going to use in ROTR went!!

In case anyone doesn't get it, they went with a physical metal barrier as opposed to the futuristic-looking light pole barriers in ROTR hanger (as seen in concept art above).

Who said enemy?

But confirmed to open soon? Really? SSE is confirmed to close soon too.

Umm. It's open. The spider web is the next step. IMO.

Guests will wonder how they managed all these years without the new path. Happy New Year.

 

[nickys]

Umm. It's open.

I think that was Martin’s point! The article said it was “confirmed to open soon” when it was already open.

 

[marni1971]

Umm. It's open.

Umm. You’re three days late.



But yes @jt04, a good 2020 to you and yours.

For what it's worth, we found they weren't too bad in person. They look far worse in photos as far as light pollution goes.

Various things so far today:

Those light poles are ugly, in my opinion. I don't like looking directly at light at night- I'd rather have it placed lower. They could have provided lighting for the paths less obtrusively.

I liked the lights in person...

Gotta agree with ya on the lights. Tacky. Plus my eyes have issue with bright lights. Being in the sun causes migraines.

They're not very bright.

My eyes or the lights?

 

[Horizons1]

Oh wow. What was wrong with the already bright lighting that’s used to illuminate pathways already?
