This was poor planning. There is no battle.

Not to the people on the inside of Club 33.

There is a difference between "poor planning" and a design choice you just don't like.

Sorry guys, I lost track of the conversation. I thought you had gone back to talking about the random yellow wall in Norway.

Not without major building reconstruction.

Sometimes you have to pick your battles.

Or you just make the frame on the outside large so it's looks centered and the come up with a way to hide the fact that you can't see through the entire thing.

That does look like something we'd see in the movie. It reminds me of the buildings in the scene where Elsa runs away from the townspeople, especially with the sky being dark because it's night time.

...it's like the minimalist themeing of the backside of Expedition Everest. Everyone was all up in arms about it not being "Completed" for a while. The drama died after a while when people realized it really makes no difference to the actual attraction.

I think it "died off" because we then became much more concerned about the centerpiece of the attraction once he went all Donna Summers.

I wouldn't call the unfinished backside "minimalist". That said - there is a good reason for a lot of the varied opinion on this - it depended on how you entered the park. From the bus terminal, it didn't look that bad. Certainly unfinished, but wasn't horrible. But if you came in from the parking lot, it was really sad looking - one step away from walking behind a street facade over at the Studios. That shouldn't have flown at the more realistically themed park.

(Note, speaking in past tense because I have no idea what it looks like at the moment - I believe they added a "army" style camo tarp at one point?)

How do you do that without affecting the building that is connected to it. What they could have done is use a smaller window. Width wise! Wanna, bet that someone order the wrong size and they just decided to go with it, since only about three people on WDWmagic were ever going to notice it anyway.

Since that is in DLR and I have no intention of going to DLR, plus, even if I did Club 33 has no impact on me I would just have walked on by. What would I care about the architecture on something I'm never going to go into to begin with?

I'll actually be there the first weekend after it opens* to experience all that's new at both resorts so I'll tell everyone how the lines are for this.

*God help me...

I was expecting the lines for this and Pandora to be quite short as it seemed more than half the people on these boards said they would never step foot in these new places and

I think you may severely underestimate the audience - Frozen isn't just going to be sought after by "little girls".

Apparently there will be many WDW Magic forum members there as well, despite claims of avoiding it all costs.

Part of the window is fake and doesn't go through the wall, it just overlays the outside of the structure for make the window look larger, or as you point out, just use a smaller window.

Seems like a simple solution to that problem would have been planting some of those BIG trees and saggy lobe talks about blocking the back of it.

Trees added! Can someone tell me if the grass is real? Looks very fake to me

Just searched my posts and couldn't find anything of that nature concerning Frozen.

How strange. How could you be wrong? I'm calling in the CIA on this. We need top notch investigators on this case pronto.

I'll be there. And I'll walk on past unless the standby is at ten minutes.

Which I'm going to beat alot of guests will be using that day.

and even more guests will never have a chance....ah the haves and have nots.

 

[matt9112]

Your point?

exactly the select few are put ahead of the millions....got it.

 

[matt9112]

Not to the people on the inside of Club 33.

good news is a handful of VIPs are put before millions of guests each year. but most guests wont care so why have standards?

Sometimes a room is not designed to be centered in the building that houses it. If a window needs to be centered in the middle of that room for esthetics from inside then that window may not be centered on the outside of the building.

Somethings are more important than other things.

This is a theme park. The aesthetics of the outside are all that matters. There is literally no justification for this. I can't believe that anybody is even trying to defend this.

I think they just have opinions like you do. Personally I don't understand why there's any discussion about it. But to each their own!
