DLR- Photo Update Thread

A big update for the mystery PoM structure!

(Thanks to insider67)

It just received a topper that looks very similar to a lighthouse, with the same crown decoration that adorn the WoC lighthouses. It kinda looks like it might have the same lighting that Mickey's Fun Wheel received, so i'm sure it will look amazing at night. We'll have to wait and see what will go into the base of the structure, there's four corners that are still empty as well as the hollow frames on each side.

it's still under construction and it's not the best picture, but it's nice to finally see some big progress.

Cool! I like it little different than what I thought was going to go on top. I cant wait till they finish the area.

Cool! I like it little different than what I thought was going to go on top. I cant wait till they finish the area.

as I said on micechat, this will help bring some of Paradise Pier's energy/sparkle into this new hub. It's sort of like the new welcoming/starting point for Paradise Pier, and soon the Garden, and Park areas as well.

It looks like it will be beautiful at night with all the lighting it has; that area will look great once the base is completed and all the plants and landscaping are added in. we were discussing the look of the structure, it is reminiscent of the Luna Park designs from Coney Island, with it's spiral look and the crown as a topper.

I love what they're doing with the Paradise theme - it looks like we will have Paradise Pier (boardwalk, games, rides), Paradise Garden Grill (dining courtyard), Paradise Park (viewing area for WoC), and Paradise Park Plaza (entrance hub).

lots of great pictures there! WoC viewing area is really starting to take shape now. And i'm happy to see more progress at the Symphony Swings, that whole area had pretty much looked the same for a few weeks now.

nice to see the hand sanitizing stations pop up at the parks.

I rode Storybook Land Canal Boats on Saturday, for the first time in a couple of years. It's wonderful to have this Disneyland exclusive back up and running, and I'm always amazed at the intricate details they put into that attraction. Especially at Christmas when the houses are all decorated like the Characters decorated it themselves! :sohappy:

The Pillar Of Mystery/Planter in Paradise Park Plaza (DCA) is no longer behind walls. Looks very beautiful and a good sign of what the rest of Paradise Park will look like The first pictures were posted by insider_67 at MiceChat

More walls this time at the Golden Vine Winery, looks like the Main Street walls with a new color. As well as Starcade with the TL walls.

Speaking of walls the tarp section blocking off ROA has been themed nicely. I like the picket fence more but its nice to see the effort put in to make the tarps look nicer.
