Magic Kingdom Entrance Getting New Color Scheme

[BJCool]

WDWMagic has posted a photo showing that the entrance gates leading to the Magic Kingdom have been getting refurbed and the new, blue-oriented color scheme is showing over the previous pink-oriented color scheme.

About time... that pink/lavender combo has been gagging me ever since I first saw it. Let us know when the top sign has been vanquished.

 

[Thor]

The blue is so much better. And I agree with Teebin, that top sign has got to go.

 

[J03Y]

lol, feels like the color war with the fairies in Sleeping Beauty. "Make it blue!" "No. Pink."

I can live with or without the sign. I work there and pass this sign on a daily basis, only this is the first time I've really stopped and looked at it. It's ugly for sure, but whether it stays or leaves makes little difference to me.

I always thought the sign didn't really match the park. I don't know why. So, put me down for wanting a replacement. Then again, a paint job would probably be sufficient.

Wow. Great way to use the ugliest shade of blue, Disney. Good going. Harry Potter ripoff.

This is satirical Disney hate right?

 

[BJCool]

Oh boy. :bang:

‏@Epcyclopedia has tweeted that the five sections of the gates that were painted blue and the three that remain pink are, oddly, by design and permanent. Apparently, Disney planned to differentiate the general parking entrances from the resort entrances.

Drove through these yesterday and they looked AWFUL. atleast the one I drove through. MK is looking really rough, atleast Main Street U.S.A and Tomorrowland

:rofl: seriously!? and I thought the blue spray painted grass in front of the entrance in 2006 was horrendous

 

[Eckert]

I'll break character here and say that's a little weird. What's wrong with a sign simply saying 'Resort Entrance'?

 

[Andy]

I understand the logic but am bewildered at the execution...

 

[ChristopherSE]

Oh god. I was so close to offering up the idea that this scheme was intentionally unfinished, but I didn't, because I thought it was absolutely horrible.

 

[BJCool]

Orlando Theme Parks News posted some pics of the recent progress that included painting the sign yellow.

 

[Eckert]

Looking at it now, it doesn't seem too bad.

I can deal.

 

[Cecilia]

Oh Hell no. That's just... wrong. All sorts of wrong. But considering I probably won't be seeing that in person for a good long while, I think I can forget about it.

 

[ChristopherSE]

The blue and pink split is beyond awkward, but I love the new yellow/blue scheme. It fits MK much better than pink, IMO.

It's like Easter threw up on Magic Kingdom...
