That's simply a false statement not supported by any evidence.What I meant was the quality of the rock work itself. Disney still does it best.
First this is his opinion nothing wrong with thatThat's simply a false statement not supported by any evidence.

I've been to both Cars Land and Kong so I think I'm entitled to my own informed opinion on the matter thank you very much. The difference is hard to explain but I was able to tell instantly on closer inspection. I'm crazy like that.That's simply a false statement not supported by any evidence.

It probably has to do with this guy right here.
He's also working on Avatar.
Kong's rock work is still great don't get me wrong. It's just missing something. I think some pictures are in order next time I go to better explain.
Anyway, :topic:
Anything else at Uni?He also did the rock work of Hogwarts Castle.

i agree with you but i will say scale matters, to me it makes it more immersive which is why i love the Volcano, its just so damn big how can anyone not be blown away by that, same with Avatar floating mtnsNo!!!! More of something doesn't mean quality. Especially when both parks use some of the same people to do their rock work. Its sculpted concrete and paint. And both companies have the same amount of detail in their respective projects. You can say that you like one design over the other but there is NO DIFFERENCE IN QUALITY.
I wasn't really talking about more of it which is why I said pictures on my next trip would help me explain it better.No!!!! More of something doesn't mean quality.

Too be more precise. It's not the rock that makes Avatar stunning. The rock work isn't that detailed and is pretty basic. It's the plants and vines that have been added almost covering up the work that make the structure impressive. You will see much more of the actual rock work at Volcano Bay then you will at Avatar.i agree with you but i will say scale matters, to me it makes it more immersive which is why i love the Volcano, its just so damn big how can anyone not be blown away by that, same with Avatar floating mtns
I think the major issue with Hogwarts is the shape and massive size of the FJ show building. I'm guessing management realized that it would be difficult to cover the building from every angle without a massive undertaking and just couldn't justify the cost when it was only one piece (even if it is the centerpiece) of a land. I will admit they could have done a bit more, and I'm sure it would have added to the immersion, but they were probably running over budget and decided to keep cost low if they couldn't go all the way.I still can't believe that Universal is building their most ambitious theme park icon for a water park. Mind blowing how much more expansive their projects have grown. Wish they built Hogwarts like that with towering rock work that covers all sides
