Only an issue for long for people who claim that Ratatouille is a ride that belongs in The French Pavilion.
Sir, we're not all uncultured swine. We've seen the John Wick movies.

Yes, I love it... but also, it's "theming on a stick" a practice this forum (not me) despises to no end.

Like most things in life context matters:
bird on a stick—no
baby on a stick— no
mountains on sticks at Batuu and Pandora as background set pieces— yes

Are these elements along a ride directly in view?
Are these part of the park entry experience?
Are these part of the arrival to a premier, highly immersive experience?

I can't wait to see this thing lit up at night. They already have the popcorn lights on the cupola and upper dome.

This carousel looks so gorgeous and is what I’m most excited for in Celestial Park. The rest is looking a lot more CityWalk/Disney Springs than I expected…I can't wait to see this thing lit up at night. They already have the popcorn lights on the cupola and upper dome.

It’s opaque though. There may be glass at the bottom unless that’s been changed as well, but the dome won’t glow from within.I can't wait to see this thing lit up at night. They already have the popcorn lights on the cupola and upper dome.

Those things aren't even the same design language. Universal's 90s post-modernism versus Disney's bad emulation of Winter Park's Mediterranean revival. The Celestial Park aesthetic seems very clearly inspired by industrial revolution era World's Fairs.

I know they’re not 1:1 comparisons, but I suppose the long story short is that it has the feel of any modern lifestyle center / outdoor mall, especially with the restaurants’ emphasis on brickwork.
