Iger: Let's try to keep R&D low on this ride...

Wish I could go this Christmas, but I have a huge trip to Starkville, MS for a Bama/MSU game. I may be able to squeeze it in.

I think this every year. It would look better and would eliminate the labor every year.

↩ replying to fngoofyYep and when they slowly burn out over the years?

↩ replying to fngoofyWhile this installation seems like a clunky solution, it is actually the most efficient way to get the job done. I would think the labor is cheaper to have the crane up for a month or two ever year than the constant maintenance that comes with adding the lights individually to the castle itself. Plus then there would be a permanent crane always on the backside of the castle for when the lights do fail.

↩ replying to rsmNot true about skycrapers washing their windows every 1-2 year. Where I work is at least 2-3 times a year.

↩ replying to MansionButler84As much as I (selfishly) love my own idea, that's the problem I imagined. Then you'd have people complaining about the castle missing lights as they go out and WDW inevitably cuts maintenance budgets. But then again, LEDs should last a several years.
Meh, people will complain no matter what they do.

↩ replying to mdcprDo you work in one skyscraper or in most skyscrapers?

The only way to get to the top of the towers is by crane, so you need the crane regardless of what you think you could mount to those spires. I don't think you can really get at them from the inside to really mount anything permanently. Embedding Christmas lights would make it impossible to power wash, strip and paint. There would be a tremendous about of concrete to drill through and miles of romex to run.

↩ replying to MansionButler84Why not just project the lights with the lasers they use now for teh nightime shows? That seems like the easiest, least intrusive and the lease amount of maintenance. I may be missing something with having the laser projections on for that amount of time though. Not an expert on that sort of stuff.

↩ replying to ZodIsGr8I think it would look terrible. They already over-rely on projectors. Sometimes Christmas lights are good enough.

↩ replying to MansionButler84Well if they used fiber optics they wouldn't burn out... so there.

↩ replying to fngoofyI look forward to reading your proposals when the crane returns in 2020. And 2021. And 2022. And 2023. And 2024...etc.

↩ replying to ZodIsGr8Have you seen the home-versions of projected lights for Christmastime? They look freaking awful.
