I never knew that this had a live earthcam. Would have been more fun when they were building it but here it is.

I am usually impressed by their work, but this doesn't look like Angelina to me...

I thought this was the Nemo building in Art of Animation. So nice job..

I was riding by headed to lunch and notice that just like they painted the aquarium building backside blue with seaside silhouettes , they paited the wax meseum side red with large graphics of some of their celebrities. Nice pop too of color. Will try to grab pics tomorrow unless someone else does.

I forgot about that. The other day as I was driving by, it looked as if they were installing a strip of LEDs on it. I told my coworker that it looked as if they were installing LEDs and he nice nasty told me that it was just the sun reflecting off of the wheel. I didn't argue with him. I get a joy at letting people figure out how wrong they are rather then me telling them myself :sneaky: I want to see it. I bet its beautiful to behold

Does look pretty sharp all lit up. I know this gets a lot of flack in the theme park fan world but im looking forward to riding it as well as some of the other new attractions headed to I-Drive

Actually, the thought of seeing Kennedy Space Center from the Eye is pretty intriguing to me.

Would be neat to plan it so you are up on top during a launch. But with the weather and how those launches go you have a better shot of winning the lotto

It's not at all expensive either, I wouldn't be surprised if the Eye is good bait to get people going to the other attractions.

Personally I wouldn't do Tussauds just because you can go to one in so many other cities and countries. It's also turned into a place for posers to take selfies with people and I'd rather not loose my eye to a selfie stick!!

The 360 degree tunnel at SeaLife looks awesome. Prior I had no interest in going, but that makes me want to check it out.

I'll be buying the combo ticket from AAA for the three Merlin attractions. At $25.99 + tax, it's a steal! :thumbs:
