Yea, I get it, and I am glad to see the willingness to do more in the name of theme. It seems like a lot of money just to make something that once was an acceptable look, look better. Structure replacement will cost a bit more than paint!
Meh. It's a vacuum-formed plastic sign. Not all that impressive in the sign world, to be honest. It does look nice though. I'd love to see them play with clear, laser-cut acrylic and edge-lighting somewhere...the visual effect is awesome because only the cut edges of the acrylic catch and enhance the light, so it looks like it's just light floating in the middle of nothing.
Agreed on the font and colors! (Sorry...it's basically in my nature to consider materials and quality of construction to be as high on the priority list as design.)
They are simply switching them to change the aesthetic (I don't consider it theming). There is nothing more structurally sound about the "new" column facades - or if there is, it's rather negligible.
I'm pretty sure this question was answered back when they painted the rockets teal and added color to the rocket tower structure. AO was my favorite visual update from TL94 and I hope it remains mostly unchanged.
It should remain mostly unchanged.
A Saturn V may be a little too retro?
The planets that decorate it add a nice pop pf color to the middle of the land while not looking too toylike. Paint some of the silver parts white and it will be really nice looking.
I think it would be nice if they demoed the curved roof and replaced it with an extension of the lower tiered roof the original building has.
