Banbury Cross Retheme Coming in 2014

Is that all they did? I was expecting much more widespread destruction. Yeah it sucks and I really can't say I'm pleased (who on earth but Scott would be pleased by this?), but I was expecting much, much worse.
Is this what it sounds like when doves cry?
I'm indifferent toward the renovation. It looks like Windows 8 tiles, and a bit gaudy with all the flowers and such. However, it also looks temporary, which is probably a good thing.

There are no words to describe what that is. And it's not like it's a section of the park that you can just skip around. It's right there. Assaulting your eyes the moment you come in.
Banners that had the name of the show and show times would have sufficed. This... I don't know what this is. It's just so ugly and unappealing. If anything it might repel people away from the show, rather than make them wanna watch it.

Well the point is to assault your eyes upon entry...so they succeeded.
Ehh, like I said, I'm pretty indifferent as we speak. Until I see other buildings fully engulfed in flowers my attitude will remain the same.
If we could get Vanessa Kensington and Felicity Shagwell to shake it up in Banbury, all will be forgiven... 
Also, the resemblance ^^ is uncanny, isn't it?
This is nothing and it makes perfect sense to me. It does bring people's attention to the new show. Goes to show you why I don't speculate too much till I see what it really is. Some of you on here actually thought the whole area was going to get the hippy treatment?
I am thanking God that this did not spread throughout the whole hamlet, but honestly I am in a bit of disbelief right now. There are much better ways to advertise a show than this. It seems very unnecessary, and as Applesauce noted it leaves a certain impression for the show that could easily turn some people off from seeing the show.
My main issue is that while the other buildings didn't necessarily receive this treatment, the look of this building has a far-reaching impact on the look and feel of the rest of the hamlet.

Holy crap.
Popped this out at the end of school, and me being the one who has to tell big news to everyone as soon as it happens, I told some friends who go with me to BGW occasionally. Just to name some responses:
"What'd they do?"
"What is that?!"
"Eeeewwww."
My sarcastic friend said this:
"Oh I didn't know the premiere for the next Austin Powers movie was being held at Busch Gardens."
My friends get me so much.
So hideous, just hideous. And those cables for the Union Jacks look like they're cage wires.

It looks vomit inspiring, but not nearly as bad as I thought. I thought rainbows would be painted all over the section, interrupted by timber framing. Thankfully it is only on the front of Globe. And it isn't even really rainbows. Just colors in certain spaces separated by timber beams that were left alone.
Perhaps Banbury isn't all over yet.
I'll definitely consider bringing a can of white and a can of black spray-paint if I go this year.

For all we know, the show could be just as bad as the decorations on the Globe, but we can't judge by that alone.Joe said:
So first of all, I want to congratulate all of you for not turning this thread into a total clusterMOD EDIT (as of 7:12 PM, 5/9/14). You surprised me, forums.
That being said, while I'm glad it's contained to that area (for now at least), it really does hurt the look of the area. The bright neons and decorations are tacky and clash terribly with the rest of the subtle atmosphere of the area. I also hardly believe that a banner couldn't of done the same job, especially since the park is taking every chance it can to promote the damn thing already inside the park.

I've learned to be optimistic with BGW. While the decorations are atrocious, it's not as bad as it could've been.
I think BGW Memeories' really shows how much this "display" conflicts with the rest of The Globe, and the surrounding area, also in this picture you can see the cables for the Union Jacks that are going to be hung up. If you ask me the cables are a bit excessive.

Joe has a point. After KK and the ILN animals, it's hard to not expect the worst when it comes to what the park does.
