I can't speak for others but for myself the trees just gave the area a more park like feel. I like the projextions but I think we can have both. Those who see it with the unobstructed view get to watch and those who don't might have to come back to get the perfect view.
Ok, I get it now. When @MansionButler84 said that they removed the trees in front the Chinese Theater, I thought it meant the trees just reinstated behind Center Stage. This isn't ideal, but its nowhere near as bad as I thought. It actually looks like they'll be adding more trees to the hub based on that concept art, but we'll have to wait and see the final product to judge.
You hit it right on the nose. I would rather take minor obstruction for a half hour a night than have a completely dead and ugly space all day and most of the night. The tourist appeasing ruins everything and this is one of the most prime examples of it. I still haven't lost all hope that the trees will never ever return, especially since they got rid of the BAH at DHS.
Well then, why is it still able to serve both purposes at Disneyland with no problems? And why was it ever able to serve both purposes at WDW? The logic behind the removal all those years ago was poor and sad.
that's fair. I think that its fine that you have yor preference and I have mine. I just wanted to get across the point that it can and has served both purposes. Not trying to convince you to want trees, just saying that the using the night time shows as the main reason is flawed. Like @FigmentForver96 said, both sides can be pleased to an extent.
Love the new Stage, so much better than anything they've had there before. Well Done Disney.
Looks that way. It's all Star Wars now
Does anyone remember the original MGM-Disney park hub? The one where it actually made a Mickey face if viewed from above? Wonder if the face is still there? I doubt it since they even took their houses away...now the gang doesn't have a place to live and has to spend forever at a circus...kinda like a groundhog circus...reference to groundhog day movie! LOL
Well except for using yellow for the trim. Silver or gray would have been more tasteful.
Check out google earth, maps, etc on satellite view. It's still there minus the ear on the roof of brown derby.
Imagineering probably wouldn't suggest that, but someone in TDO certainly would! Similar to Siemens at SSE, we likely have TCM to thank here.
Well that and center stage being a bit of center to where the nose planter once was.
