Just type in "FACTORY SMOKE STACKS" on google images and you will see they got the proportion right. In fact, they could have went a little taller with them if they wanted them to really match the real world.

This is a themed resort, not a documentary.

I haven't been through Citywalk lately, but I just drove by and looking at it from I-4 it's definitely not as tall as the lighthouse.

None of those smokestacks are bigger than the building beneath though. That's my biggest problem with how it looks at Toothsome.

Yeah, I don't really like the look of this to be brutally honest. It's too large, and doesn't really fit with the fairly modernist aesthetic of the rest of Citywalk visible from that area. The photo from the top of Citywalk shows it -- nothing around there is really heavily themed so it seems a bit jarring to me.

I hope it doesn't take as much away from the area around IOA as it seems to in the photos.

I wouldn't know since I can't see it ;)

Also, what about sight lines? Is this seen from inside IOA?

Sorry for the iPhone pictures, it's too hot to carry the dslr around.

I'm really hoping that the chocolate on sale is actually good. If it's one thing American's don't get, it's good chocolate. Hershey's is vile and they have ruined Cadbury.

Hershey's isn't cool anymore. We're all about the dark chocolate now.

Cadbury conjures images of those creme eggs that I think are one of the nastiest consumables ever conceived by man.

You are absolutely right about Hershey, but Ghirardelli is the best and an American brand.

I used to love creme eggs until they changed the formula a few years back.

Do we know who's making the chocolate or is it getting done all in house?

I like how close the concept art is to what they are building. With Disney they relies new concept art when the thing is almost done to reflect it better because it's not very close to the original concept.
