Great photos...looks like the show quality team is on the move!

Where is that coke freestyle machine? It's kind of hard to tell...

Lost Continent a little before you enter WWOHP.

The new vendor carts in CityWalk look much, much better.

Great update, hatetofly! Thanks!

I think the park does look a lot better with the new asphalt treatment. I'm really happy to see all these enhancements all over! Nice job, Universal :thumbs:

Great update, HTF! The refurbishments have definitely improved the park for the better. I can't say I'm a big fan of the new game location though. :shrug:

I'm wondering about that too, but I'll wait to see it in person. The traffic won't be bad there, because it is a big space. But it does kill the view of MiB, and from MiB it might look ugly as well. Though, this is probably the best spot to put it for in terms of space and location/theme.

I must say that I loathe the color scheme of the Hard Rock now. The color is too heavy and near monochromatic. Go look at a picture of the old scheme and compare to now. *gag,spit,choke*

Before it was pretty monochromatic too, just the red columns stood out more. But yeah, maybe it would've looked better if they just brightened up the colors that were already there. :shrug:

I like the colors, but they need more grunge for my taste... The collapsing segment just looks out of place now.

 

[Teebin]

The pleasant contrast is what they have killed. Cream, grey and red marble a warmer light tone of cream. Almost all of it is of the same 'tone' (tone is a colorist term that sorta means that if you took a black and white picture of it... it would all be the same gradation of gray) now. Today, one cannot put cool (blue leaning) reds next to the building, even though they are doing just that... the sign, the awnings are all cool reds. I love change, but this is a disgusting result to me.

^ The blend of warm colors looks fine to me. It gets into the color theme of the Hard Rock Cafe. Plus the new coat makes it more attractive (if you like those colors).

Agreed. The old color scheme was a thousand times better.

 

[dmkrc5]

Too much red and those colors are just asking to stick out.

 

[JungleSkip]

I'm pretty indifferent on the paint scheme.

 

[Teebin]

^ about the only color I am indifferent to is the color of a parking garage in North Korea... otherwise... :wave:

 

[Hatetofly]

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but I'm pretty sure were going to see more and more of this color scheme as the year progresses.

EDIT: I mean throughout Citywalk...

AmusementPics has a few photos showing off general painting in the New York and San Francisco areas. It's always nice to see such upkeep of the parks!

Cool! So, I'm guessing they're getting it all new and ready for the nighttime lagoon show!
