I'm just going to put out there, once again, that I will do Scott's job for half of what he does it for. Whatever he gets paid, I will take half. Not only that, but I will guarantee that people will like what I do better, and if they don't, then I will give back all the money.

This offer is on the table right now.

WUT? How can this be?

Umm, while I mean no offence, there's really no way to say this without sounding disrespectful so I apologize... I think you'll approach the park with a puritan attitude about it. The park would never get technologically advanced attractions despite themeing so awesome things like Verbolten would never happen. I can't imagine you letting awesome Special Events like HoS happening either.
 
You got me all wrong! I like technologically advanced things. I just think the attractions serve the park...the park doesn't serve the attractions. I wouldn't bend the park to suit a roller coaster. It's the UFO in New France that I mean to avoid. And Howl-O-Scream is awesome. Again, though, I wouldn't bend the park and its image to suit a "cool" or edgy event.

The park and its branding are primary. The park is the attraction. Everything else exists to serve that.

It doesn't matter anyway, because I'm not going to get the job...and no, I don't take offense!

But, uh....how about these doors, eh!?

Halloween needs to be edgy though, I've made this argument before in support of the Nurses. Despite the way he handles the normal season (which I agree, could be a lot better), the guy has a knack for a good tone for the special events (not including Illuminights) despite the poor execution last year.
 
What about this door? The kid is included for perspective.

Wine festival or not, putting in grape arbors is very appropriate for the themeing of Aquitaine being as its main city, Bordeaux and the region around it is a very important wine region that is split by the left and right banks of the Gironde river. Do you remember "Left Bank Portraits" were the Griffon merch is.

And another great accurate theming comparison in Aquitaine. These towers on the old gate with the Grosse Cloche match the towers on the building in conversation. Their flag and coat-of-arms feature fleur de lis, a lion, river and the castle that housed these towers.

The decorations over the doors and the new planters off to the sides help a ton. Unfortunately, those flags still exist and I hate them now more than ever. The flags are basically the equivalent to someone smearing purple paint across the Mona Lisa. I could live with the banners but that strip of flags along the top of the roof is basically the bane of my existence at this point. Oh, also, they need to replace the shingles on that roof. For such a prominent location, they're looking very, very rough.

I like it. The flags are annoying though. However, if they are going to put in Dark brown French doors in an off-white building then they need to paint the building(in my opinion they do). And I agree with Zach those Shingles need to be replaced.
