I'm not a fan of the what Walt would have wanted. He changed direction on a dime. He opened Disneyland in 55 and 4 years later completely reshaped a large portion of it. By the time we hit 1966 he had released plans to create an entire city on the opposite side of the country. Like a lot of entrepreneurs Walt kept bouncing moving in different directions.

I am a proponent of preserving as much as Disneyland's history as possible and do not feel Star Wars land fits within the concepts of Disneyland. That being said I can be confident that the person who would have altered Disneyland's DNA more than anyone if he was around is Walt Disney. We would be pleading with him to not ruin what he created.
You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.

Just like the guy who made Star Wars, coincidentally enough!

Hard to tell. The ones that were super bright aren't really shown in those photos. The throwback to mine train rocks.

I would say they look darker and more grayish than before and decidedly less Bryce Canyon reddish/orange than Big Thunder and the new rock work along BT Trail. Could be the midday Southern California sun or camera exposure settings at work though.

Gotcha. So is it just me or did they tone down the reds on those rocks? My eyes may be decieving me on this iPhone.
I think that's just the order they paint them. They start with the base coat which is often the most saturated color. Then they add the aging or variation layers on top of that. Those top layers only partially cover the base layer to get the final appearance. That's why it starts out a bit garish-looking and then the final product appears toned down.
