News Pacific Wharf to be Reimagined into San Fransokyo

[Consumer]

Don't know why but I figured they weren't installing cables because it'd look too silly with the trestle underneath.

You can barely see any cables in that photo. I had to put my phone right up to my eyes. They look so thin and nearly invisible. Curious as to what they look like in person.

I wonder if they have to make these this color because the Golden Gate Bridge shade is copyrighted or something.

It's the filter I put on the photo. In person they're approximately International Orange like the real bridge.

They don't look much better. I thought the cable was incomplete when I saw it last. They really needed a more substantial cord with bigger popcorn lighting for it to look decent during the day.

Can't have quality control when you start from such a low level of design.

Oh ye of little faith. Never underestimate their ability to make this look dumber than you imagined.

Also, being honest. I love this view, with the reflection:




Hoping they will still work on the seams, so up close it doesn't look so... thrown together.

ETA:

Also looks like they added a second turbine, near Ghiradelli.

ETA again:

Miso Clam Chowder? Lol at that combination.

Well, at least... at least it's, um.... at least...

I give up on this one.

If you blow up the "walk across the bridge" video to full screen, it really looks like the suspension lines are light strings. You can see the bulbs going along them. Will they light up at night?

That is my guess, wait for the latest vlogger coverage at night....

Yes, they will light up.

I don’t care what y’all say about the “ugliness” and “cheapness” of the area - The bridge look cute and the semi-retheming is giving the area a fresh new energy - and some of the stuff is nice imo.

I really don’t care for the power lines hanging everywhere overhead. I understand the intent in the design, but like Galaxy’s Edge and (to a lesser extent) Avengers Campus there seems to be a weird trend of making things look sloppy and unfinished in places. It’s a transparently lazy attempt to give the area a lived-in/gritty look.

Funniest thing is - until I saw pics today, I didn't get this overlay AT ALL.

Now that I've seen pics of it fully put together with most of it uncovered, it actually really matches now from Avengers Campus (the old Stark brickwork/WEB area with the Miles graffitti) through Cars Land and out to this. It unexpectedly suddenly works together. And yet, now it feels like a third of the park is all one sort of tone. Hmm. I'll have to live with it a while to see how it feels longterm. But I like it more today than I did while it was in progress, so that's good.

Agreed. That's not "theme", that's just a building code violation. And an ugly and egregious one at that.

It's like they're attempting a green future version of this-

But San Fransokyo just comes off cheap because there's no heart in it. There's no REAL thought put into what they're doing... it's just 'have the contractor put wires all willy nilly because the windmills power everything!'
