In person, the towers are a lot wider than the concept art suggested. I hope the string lights are enough to make it still look a bit like a suspension bridge.

Forgive my quick and sloppy edit, but would it kill them to just mute the color of the original bridge structure? Was paint not in the budget?

Personally, it'd look a lot weirder if the truss was painted in a muted orange compared to the torii towers; it only works in your edit because it's depicting the bridge at night, so the trusses more easily recede into the background. That same muted or dark color I think would look distracting in the daytime.

Well, in that concept they show the low fence and hand railing painted that light blue / grey color. Perhaps that's the answer, or should it be "go-away green"? Personally I'll never get past having one style of bridge plopped on top of another, so I would like them to do what they can to avoid drawing my attention to that fact.

And for the record, I think that taking the iconic Golden Gate Bridge and adding Shinto-style elements to it is a pretty great way of visually conveying the concept of "San Fransokyo". Without casting judgement on the whole project, it they would reproduce that design, I wouldn't mind at all.

I guess I should wait to see the final product, but based on every rendering I've seen, I'm just going to think it looks dumb. (Which will just be my opinion.)

I really do love how DCA went from having a pathetic recreation of the Golden Gate Bridge, to no Golden Gate Bridge, and is now putting money into a new pathetic Golden Gate Bridge. It really showcases the stupidity of Disney in their handling of this park.

No kidding.

I don't care how much we try and edit the paint and trusses on this thing, when I look at that San Fransokyo bridge to the food court in DCA I will never NOT just see a Miniature Golf Course. 😜

After reading that menu I’ll still end up getting the Teriyaki chicken at Lucky Fortune… I’m a creature of habit and nothing on that menu looks good enough to change that. The sipper is cute though.

Perhaps somewhat ironically, the old Disneyland Hotel adjacent miniature golf course featured elements that were much more highly-detailed, properly scaled, yet less nonsensical than that double-down bridge.

By the way, have I mentioned lately how inane I feel that "bridge on a bridge" design is? Perhaps this strapping young South African understands and appreciates it, but I still don't.

Hard to believe these two photos are the same person.

I'm pretty sure the second child is a photo of a young Elon Musk. Perhaps the best thing to come out of South Africa in a very long time.

And thank God that Elon is on OUR side, instead of aligning with the Russians or Chinese. Cause we'd be screwed if his brain power was controlled by avowed Communists and/or former KGB agents instead of being used to the benefit of American democracy and free market capitalism.
