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

[celluloid]

Found this funny from the initial press release:

Americans will literally make up units of measure before using the metric system..

Or you know, excitable marketing tactics.

Have you seen any electronic billboards lately? That's what this is. With some curves built in. It's nothing to get excited over...and it most certainly isn't an "art installation".

Universal alwys OWNED the Billboard art game in Central Florida since their beginning.

Maybe they’ll make it like Mickey & Minnie Runaway Railway scene but with Cars crashing out from the parking garage.

As if there's not enough accidents on I4 already.

Huh? This is not visible from I4

Perhaps I'm mistaken. Is this on the opposite side of the garage from I4?

 

[DCBaker]

It absolutely is.

 

[JoeCamel]

It absolutely is.

Sorry I was mistaken on location
Let the carnage begin!

Guess not see @DCBaker reply. I know there is no wrong with what that account posts

Here's a visual from Google Earth - the garage in question is in the upper left.

Thank you, I thought it was the other side. Love the city fathers for embracing the art installations in the area

All the mornings I made that left to hit the Dr. Phillips KeKe's before Universal..... I never really looked right

Don't look too hard and get neck strain! Not sure why they chose this building; it'll be easier to see from International Dr. But, there's a Chuy's across the street. So, you can get a table near the window and enjoy the "art installation".

I am still chuckling at "Art Installation"...

Amazing screens with videos look like they are popping out of the screen are the future of high end adverting screens so what does Disney have installed, a wavy screen. This thing could have been something so much better.

iirc isn't this the garage that had the imprint of a decepticon on it for a promotion stunt for Uni?

This garage didn't exist back then. They did that on an office building downtown.

The entire idea is a gigantic waste of money that will bring back zero ROI...they do not need to tell people on International Drive that Disney is down the road.. That million plus could have been spent in ways that would add to the guest satisfaction at the parks...rather than something off-campus that no one cares about.

yeah I can't see how newer bigger billboard will actually result in more money
if you're a local you've got your mind made up whatever ways, if you're a tourist in town and on I-4 then you're already locked into your motel
