The Eye looks great. Great view from the Monorail before going through the Contemperary.

So you can see the Eye from 27 south of 192. I was quite surprised, but there are some decent elevation changes out that way.

Indeed, this is a recent change. It used to be sponsored by British Airways, it had a blue lighting scheme under their sponsorship.

Personally I preferred the blue

Up until Jan this year it was EDF Energy sponsored. Now Coke are in on it for a few years.

The blue is pretty sharp. I was disappointed last weekend while on Idrive and the O Eye wasn't lit up yet, just the cabins where. Wanted some shots of it all glowed up

Nik Wallenda did his thing today. Insane!

 

[Hockeyman55]

You couldn't pay me enough money to do what he did.

Anyone going to view these attractions today, and rise up 400' to enjoy a panorama of the ugliest state in the union?

Fun Fact: Prior to WDW, Orange County Florida was named Mosquito County. That's all you need to know...

Im actually looking forward to checking them out later this summer, the wheel and aquarium interest me but the wax museum not so much. I can see these attractions being a one and done type situation for me though

Yeah, major criticism has been how there's really nothing interesting to see from up there. And it's too far from Uni and Disney to even get a good look at those. I'm mostly looking forward to check out a sunset from up there. That should definitely be nice!

Even though the attractions are miles away people will still love pointing them out, I remember being up in da choppa and recall you could easily pick out the parks Icons from I Drive.

I also have a photo of Kraken which I took from BLT, granted you have to zoom in but you can easily pick it out.

Im looking forward to a spin on the wheel and think you will see quite a bit from up high, you may just have to squint a little :dance:
