I think it’s just puzzling they’ve done a ten minute job six months early.

So with just a ten minute job they buy great exposure and build anticipation for the new park?

Influencers need to be fed, the marketing department needs something to work with. This sign is perfect in its simplicity: crystal clear message, and any picture of it by default tells the message.

This looks so good and stylish!

Doesn't look as good during the day, but that's true of the park as a whole

Now will its sister theater on the other side of Studio 1 get a similar billboard?

Not on the plans. Could be added later on though.

Apparently the new Arendelle signs have been removed…

Even with Disney's slow pace of construction, I still expect this to open in 2027.

I agree, they can market it as adding an extra ride to the expansion for the 35th anniversary

A better place for a new sign!

This generally feels like an urban park in a way that other projects have been striving for, but have missed the mark.

Great font. Great ornamentation on that gazebo dome too. Not easy to pull off, that easily goes into Mar del Lago kitch palace territory. Somebody knows what's she's doing. It all references several different styles, roughly the decades around the turn of last century, without settling for one in particular. Disney can be so good when it doesn't try to be too specific, but just Disneyfies echoes of imagery lingering in the public consciousness.

(When you speak positively about an unfinished project the peanut gallery never insists one ought to wait for the finished project, ever noticed?)

Possibly because Adventure Way is not defined by built structures or fake rockwork, but by an open, tree lined space much like an actual urban park.

I think there is a risk of that going too far however. Shanghai as a park is arguably too green and it has actual downsides to the structure of the park and its thematic design

Though this may avoid that by it being a straight boulevard

It’s been a number of years since I’ve been, but Shanghai also misses the mark. I found it underfoliaged and too spacious. The one flank with the tile zodiac characters is ok. But generally the hub area is too committed to being a fireworks viewing station than an actual park space.

Though perhaps I’ll feel differently now that we are a decade into tree growth.

It’s now gone in the other direction having the grizzly peak problem from DCA where it’s overfoliaged while also still being too spacious so the sightlines are impacted and you genuinely get lost in the park because you can’t see where you are going
