The small lights in the pavement at Dreamers point seem to be similar in design as the points of light on SSE, as a few of them are unfortunately already experiencing the exact same issues that the SSE ones are, such as random flickering and incorrect colors

Keeping an eye out for Communicore progress footage has been painful this week due to the 6 billion "honest reviews". Hopefully people simmer in a few days. 🤷‍♂️
(Photo from @DCBaker) the blank section in the middle of this photo has mostly had its triangle framing installed, save for the very top section, and has also begun receiving its exterior panels as well. That’s the main new thing I noticed today.

Seems like either a malfunction with the light itself, a software glitch or a connectivity issue. Really curious to know which one. Also interested in how they put all this together in terms of being able to expand the show in the future or swap out older fixtures for better tech. That seems like a huge area to try to hard-wire everything across, but wireless would be riskier from a performance perspective I would think.

Still, the ambition to design, build and program this is truly impressive. Like trying to install and program the old Lights of Winter but a thousand times more complex.

The art actually isn't that different from what was planned in more detail pre-COVID. The Festival Center, Journey of Water, and the Connections building (unsure if it would have still been the dining space or if it would have traded with Creations) are all still there. The big differences are an alternate asymmetrically quartered garden design, a leveled Creations replaced with semi-toroidal domes, and some indecipherable nonsense photobashery where the Fountain of Nations was.
The biggest real difference to me is that there were design changes across the entire front of the park, whereas what they actually did hardly extends beyond the center. There are still a lot of awkward empty and dated areas of overly wide pathways, pebble-filled geometric curbs, and empty swaths of grass. The area between the land and imagination (where Pooh would appear) comes to mind first.

…you’re not suggesting it looks cheap, awful and obtuse are you?


That’s kinda Bob iger’s mission statement these days
