New Adventureland bridge open (pic)

[NewfieFan]

New sign = visible progress

Makes the standard visitor say "Oh look, they changed something" -yeah, it's not much, but it's something. If you leave the old sign I think there is a tendency to say "Meh, nothing much was changed."

Also might indicate further changes are yet to come .. please step inside the 'new' adventureland ..

Who are we kidding... we're the only ones that will notice the new sign! :ROFLOL: (And we are NOT the standard visitor)

Still hope we see some tiki masks and other embelishments as the project wraps up.

That is what I was thinking...most tourists can hardly remember if they've been on a ride before and/or a ride's name much less whether the Adventureland sign had changed since they were there last

Old sign:

I like the new one better, but are they gonna theme those poles?:veryconfu They look kind of....barren.

Now, of course I'm speaking for myself, but I can't see the fun in not being able to walk and going to the parks. You get wheeled to every attraction, then have to load/unload at each one. Then you get to go through the same process to get back across the lagoon, into/out of the tram and back in your car/Disney bus.

If I were handicapped and dreamed of Disneyland or DisneyWorld as a child, I would put up with all the transfers to see the fun of these places.

If I were an injured person who could no longer walk, I would still want to see these magnificent places. I'd make do.

I like the new sign. The old one was classic 70s yellow :lol:

They better put some dressing on those poles before I get there. I can't look at bare poles!:ROFLOL:

I like the old sign better. The new one makes the entire land look like Pirates-land to me (although I guess the old sign was tiki-centric anyway).

But I'm still happy with the change, since the flatter bridge is the most important part.

The bridge is now complete with theming! Here is a video from JeffLangeDVD.

I have to say that it looks pretty good with the theming they added to the new bridge!

Love that the sign is back up now with all the accents along with it, looks great can not wait to see it in person.

 

[jmuboy]

Wonder if the temporary bridge will remian for additional traffic?

Looks GREAT.

The notes on the blueprints for the temporary bridge say:

TEMPORARY BRIDGE - TO BE REMOVED PRIOR TO FINAL LANDSCAPE INSTALLATION.

and

TEMPORARY BRIDGE TO BE REMOVED COMPLETELY. SALVAGE ALL NON-DAMAGED WOOD MEMBERS

I don't think it will be with us much longer.

 

[PartOfYourWorld]

The new bridge looks great!

 

[Mansion Butler]

I think they made the right decision, but I am going to miss a bridge with a little bit more of a sense of adventure.

I like the new sign. Then again, I liked the old sign as well. But, change is always good, so it's good to see they are finally putting some new things in.
