Thank GOODNESS. I’ve been thinking about how this all lined up a few days ago. Thanks for the work!

Yes that’s what I was referring to. The fact that both were done after the fact when they realized their mistake but with those they used real cover and not tarps with space in between.

If I’m being honest, I like the bottom one the most.

Well, the Mad Tea Party was open air for the first two years.

A chat on twitter spurred me on to do something I’ve wondered about for a while now : GE with the 2005 LMA changes superimposed : And even further back, GE with Residential Street:

Yes, it could have been done better. If the objective was to actually provide shade.

Skipping a small show not meant to be a draw is very different from skipping a brand new E ticket. I would get it if you’re scared or physically prevented from riding it.

Hey…I don’t remember having this on my list. I can’t speak for 1-23 though.

Man, it seems like just a couple months ago that all the Eeyores around here were complaining about the new shade area between SWGE and Toy Story land before it was completed. And here we are, for another round!

Can you imagine if this is how they handled shade and cover in front of Haunted Mansion and over the Mad Tea Party way back when?

Clearly with the greeting of "Bright Suns" the city planning committee for Black Spire would understand a need for shade...lol. I get they want it to be thematically consistent, but when it is so consistent that it fails to reach the objective, it is clearly a failure that helps no-one...Use an opaque cloth, add seating, and cover most of the area.... Create a storyline that it is a "Droid Charging Base" and add some phone chargers and lots of bench seating... Make the shade roof something impermeable for the frequent Florida rains....but don't hang up pieces of netting material that don't cover an area...with no seating and consider that a job well done....

Laugh emoji on a serious post is against the rules @Ayla @Professortango1

Well, that's embarrassing.

It appears as though people will really have to look down at the ground, see where the shade from the awnings is cast, get there, and hope the Earth isn't rotating too quickly.
