I really don't care about sight lines. I will say appears when you go through the portals in EPIC, you are immersed, like you are in the harry potter lands in the other two Universal parks in Orlando.
The 'cannery,' or 'cannery in a salt mine' as the metaphor is more commonly known, regards a warning that, should you find yourself in an Internet forum where someone keels over and dies of apoplexy, you should quickly and safely exit the thread.
I'm in this line of work, and I can tell you it is very, very difficult to make rooftops of these large warehouse buildings look presentable. There are certain utilities that need to be up there, and aesthetics are not a consideration when those are built. The view from the top of Splash is a masterful job of concealment using trees and other obstacles, but the old MK Skyway for example... not so much. Stardust is probably so high there weren't many tricks available.I have hears the views from the top of the Stardust racers coaster are not good. Perhaps they could have the coaster go through a tube to block the view from way up there. Maybe that was some cost cutting corporate greed not to have tubes to block the view?
He's deflecting. The discussions about sightlines haven't been about what is visible from the top of Stardust Racers.
Some people here like complaining about theme parks more than they actually like theme parks
Most of us here love these theme parks...that is why we make noise when something goes astray
If a ride vehicle changing color is considered "theme parks going astray" then it's not about being critical anymore, it's just competitive complaining
I hope they do as little as possible and keep the work to aesthetics
It’s a bit more nuanced than that..
The colors don’t just manifest themselves. Picking colors is an entire job. There are meetings where specific shades are reviewed and debated.
Not to play devil’s advocate but I think there is a valid point to be made in the fact that the new cars are objectively less themed than the old ones. In a theme park theme does tend to be important. Not worth bickering about until we see the complete product though.
John Hench would like a word with you! (From beyond).
To me, the new cars look like how I would actually expect “test cars” to look. Not too flashy, just trying to test out how the vehicle shape drives.
Great for realism, but perhaps not great for a ride. Perhaps a great move for a dark ride it is going for and reducing bad show. Holding out hope.
I sure they said in the video that they're now themed to R & D cars of the 2020s.
They should have done the black gray and white "camo" look that they put on test vehicles when driving around the real world. I always find them funny because they really don't hide much about the design.
