If I am correct, there's a deliberate reason for the randomness of the glass here. If you look at the window panes in Hagrid's hut in the 3rd film onward, he has taken seemingly recyled broken pieces of gothic stained glass and combined them at random to create windows for his hut. I will say...
There are sculpted insects in one of the trees, The crab-looking things along the pond, a horse skeleton along the river, and a buddy of mine pointed out some claw marks in one of the fallen trunks. If you follow the foot prints, you can see where viper wolves paired up to take down a kill. I...
The thing is going to look so ugly and be so loud against the most quaint and quiet area of the park. It's fine that they wanted to build this thing. And I get that they are trying to cater to thrill seekers over dark ride enthusiasts - but this honestly compromises the charm of what makes...
I am hearing that our pathways will still glow(and yes they are gorgeous, but that's just me) - Maintenance lighting was accidentally turned on apparently. I still miss how excellent it looked opening day without the extra light they added last year.

But what is really painful for me is how amazing the sheer amount of detail in the queue and in the impressive alleyway sequence is - and to have that be wasted on what we got. Even when you get off at...

Dear God, the dialogue is so cringey. The old version was perfect. Hippy? Sure. But it felt like a ceremony that would happen in that place.
They literally went from poetic words like "here, in the heart of the valley where we all gather" to "Hey if we're loud enough we can make a pteradactyl...
You might want to look into getting a hearing aid....
You're bombarded with sounds and animal calls the second you step into that place, and they are loud. There are different sounds during night and day as well. They even have a trail of speakers spaced out in the RJ queue that makes it sound...
