New themed pavement in Adventureland?

[ᗩLᘿᑕ ✨︎ ᗩζᗩᗰ]

if you can update the pavement how about fixing the yeti

Superfluous placemaking is more important than fixing a necessary component integral to the story of an attraction

$$$$

Yes its money and it's one of the few times them being stingy with money is something I'll defend.

It's a lot of time, effort, and money on something that's ultimately so futile. Yes, the yeti looks amazing in motion...with the lights on and you just get to watch it. I was too young to have ridden it when it was working properly, but everyone in my family who got to and many, many, many others who did that i've encountered in person and online have all said that you couldn't really see anything impressive about it and that it looked about the same as it does now because you go by it so quickly.

The yeti not working doesn't ruin the ride experience and I think as such it'd be kind of dumb to close one of Animal Kingdom's most popular attractions for an extended period of time to fix a detail that won't really add all that much to the ride experience. The sheer amount of work they'd have to do to even get to it to fix it just doesn't make it worth it.

The entire experience was much better when it opened. Not just the working yeti, which you definitely could see - he was literally lunging toward the train! - but also the fog effects that completely hid the track switches from view.

Thats generous.

I miss the fog effects but I think you’re way overselling them.

If you're like me and were curious what this would look like applied to the rest of the land, enjoy these 20 minutes of Photoshop:

Not my usual professional standard so don't hold it against me. Free to use, etc etc

I'll let you all decide if you like the look of the pavement or not, but I think it works.

You forgot the "brown ditch"...

they definitely added to the experience.

Did you ride during cm previews? Did you ever experience the advertised “snow” effect?

They definitely added to the experience. Greatly. They just didn’t hide the switches.

I rode during soft openings and AP previews.

It's funny cuz it's true

“Helped” hide the switches? Haha.

What is supposed to be the point of this? Like, how is haphazardly colored concrete "themed"?

The theming is in the details of the concrete. It gives off the appearance of walking on earth rather than pavement, or at least it’s meant to evoke that visual. It’s place making.
