I’m very happy you all find the coins as big of an eyesore as I do.
The problem is little kids see all the coins and “mommy I wanna make a wish too!” And of course every parent caves. But you’re right someone had to be the first one, and I have no idea what they were thinking. Same with the graffiti all over the beautiful queue. Especially in a ride/land/park that’s message is essentially “humans ruin everything”, people have to prove the point.
