I wouldn't go that far. Even if it was layered and made of gold leaf.

Let's wait and see what is created for the final product. Some of this custom themed stuff is pricey as hell. :look:

Ooooops SCOTT!!! I misunderstood something I was told years back and you are correct. I just verified it with "someone in the biz".

Let me lower that tag to $15K-$25K. I apologize for my misunderstanding from a long time ago. I bow humbly to you kind sir. :)

You had probably heard something concerning Disney Imagineering. They would indeed charge their parks an outrageous figure like that. That's their MO. :)

No no no no no. There was a time in the past that someone would state to me, "yes, it is going to be craZy and cost 150 billion dollars." I never thought to ask, what is "it".

I have since dragged sources over the coals with questions of what is "it" and "could you please speak in full sentences and give me the noun!" And I ain't whistling Dixie! I was worried over and over that I would be told to F off. Never happened! :)

I think the sign is temporary. You don't go all out on everything on the outside, and half-ass the main marquee.

I was joking on that concerning your experience, but those kind of stories are run out every now & then concerning Imagineering. I should have used my laughing emocon instead of my smiley.......:lol:

Pluss I don't think they would need that massive rectangular hole in the facade to hang this block of wood. It looks like they're going to need some room behind the sign for the clock's gears and what not. This thing still screams temporary to me.

Yeah, I forgot there's a hole behind it. The hole I would guess is for mechanical components for the REAL sign. This is just a temp probably because they anticipate they may be opening before the sign is done. I'm hearing that the costumes for the staff have not all arrived yet and they will be borrowing pieces from other things in the park to get open soon.

If it turns out to be a real clock, your estimate might not be so ridiculous after all.

If it is a real clock, I'd like to see Doc Brown sliding down a wire from the clock tower to officially open it.

Good news. Talked to multiple people working on Toothsome on site. They each say opening is this month. Average answer was either two weeks or middle of the month.:drool:

I know. I was just letting everyone know the exact answers given in the interest of being thorough.

Sigh.

Almost forgot about the sign. Staff there believe that is the permanent sign.

I hope they are wrong.

When you look at the sign up close in the concept art, there is a lot going on behind the sign. Given how close the rest of the facade is to the concept, I refuse to believe that is the final sign.

Had a quick mess around in photoshop and overlayed the concept sign over the current one and it looks far better.

I had a weird dream last night that this opened the day I arrived on my vacation and when I checked in to Cabana Bay, they were handing out golden ticket room keys that gave you a free meal to lucky guests.
