When they talked about fountains for daytime, they don't mean 'cover the barges up' from view - but rather to make the structures look more attractive and purposed by adding the fountain effects. It never was 'hiding' them, it's about making them less fugly.

Honestly can't say what they'll look like in the daytime if they keep the screens running and the bottom 1/3 and sides are covered by water spray. The fountain tests we've seen so far are very underwhelming and don't lend hope to the thought that they can improve the view by much.

Then the black fades. Then water flows over it. Then it looks like crap again.
Did they just never look at the RoE barges?

I know something that would improve the appearance of WSL...

How do you sink a 60ft ring in a 10ft lake?

This whole setup is like my kids trying desperately to justify a lie they were caught in. No matter what they say, the situation just gets worse and worse for them.
I'm assuming that the new black paint has some higher performance durability than whatever was there before. We know the original finish only lasted a few months before looking terrible. Perhaps this paint life is measured in at least years.

Hopefully the show's life isn't.

I'd assume it's higher durability. But like the concept art assuming water is a solid and the fact they couldn't even cut the center docks "L" off (or build new like a lot of this project was), I'm going to question a lot of this project.

Didn't someone want pictures of the barges from all the WS pavilions? I'm here today and can get that done.

Not sure, probably the same way they sunk 1200 fountains in the DCA lagoon.

And maybe the way Pizza Hut makes a pizza right! because that also means nothing to the point raised.

Strobes/whatever the twinkling effect is called is currently turned on for Italy. Been running for 5 mins so far. I assume show programming or something like that.
Edit: I know it's a giant nothingburger but here's a quick video just because.

tried to pay attention as I was there last week, good views where I can still see the center stargate occur from Canada (after Le Celier enterance)-Mexico (up to La Hacienda) and Italy-Japan. I fear for the trees that line WSL in the US, they almost assuredly aren’t long for this world to increase good viewing angles. Most interestingly, the old cooperate spots (the garden below the IG gateway and the island in Italy) are horrible spots with no view of the stargate. I can’t imagine someone paying to reserve those spots, also as expected Norway/China and R&C have poor viewing angles as well. I don’t think crowds are going to spread out around the lagoon like they used to, they really didn’t think this through.
