Re: Midway Mania attraction update photos

It's interesting to me how detailed the whole building HAS to be because of rides like screamin' and the sun wheel. Think about DL buildings and how they all basically have a front facade and the back is just a big grey or green wall. Because of the nature of the rides around it, they had to either sacrifice show and let people riding the roller coaster be able to see the facades or build the ride complex in a 3-D way they haven't had to in many past cases. I dunno, just find it kinda cool. Not that it's something they've never done before, just that I'm glad they did it here.

I was thinking the same thing RumRunner! I love how even the parts that can only be seen from Screamin are being themed up. It being done so very well. The detail in each individual shingle, and the changes in their shape is incredible.

Re: Midway Mania attraction update photos

I wish they finished the entire building portions under Screamin'. Disney used to do that. I don't care if you don't notice on Screamin's, you still can notice it from the Sun Wheel and it really distorts the look of the Victorian theme. But the finished parts looks beautiful. I can't wait to see the Midway games new facades that are still behind tarps. I also love the varying color scheme. It adds depth and brings up the details. It makes Paradise Pier 1.0 look as bad as it really is.

That is amazing. The Pier was so ugly. And it's amazing what they can do in one year.

Re: Midway Mania attraction update photos

For as much complaining as some have done before... the buildings look EXACTLY like those from the Pike or countless Victorian Theme Parks. While I may not like the ride, I will enjoy the architecture.

Re: Midway Mania attraction update photos

Here some picture before the new year



You can see most of the out side is done and need to be painted and Light fixer install.








some people tell me that the green tarp is down and you see the new and the old building.



A fountain going in the courtyard,
Not way to teel how far Disney is into install the Attraction.

Looking good. I'm actually glad that we don't know too much about the ride itself.

Thanks!

What is there to know? You have a gun and you shoot stuff.
