I am rarely at a loss for words, nor am I extremely negative about anything the park does, but Demon Street... Those banners have me floored. The fringe that they have on the eaves is leaps and bounds better than the flames stretching across the thoroughfares. Replace the flames with those black shards and I'll be happy. It add’s a “ceiling of theme” while still not ruining the area.
Vampire Point – I understand their direction, I really do – I’m sure their scenic painters will make the building look phenomenal. I’m not completely mentally distraught over the paint job, however I am intrigued by the fact that the top panel including the actually clock has not been painted. I’m fairly certain they’re just waiting to paint it on Monday however I wonder if they are having second thoughts due to the intricacies of the clock and surrounding scenic frame. Last point with the ReVamp, while we are all on the subject of the actual clockwork and figures, I feel like this could be a fantastic time to refurb the inner workings. They’re currently trying to construct a gothic Romanian/Transylvanian fortress there. Put a wall in front of the figure relief and paint it. Leave the figure area untouched and rehab it during the next two months. I just wish they would see this opportunity and plan for posterity not just the event at hand.
Ports of Skull looks nice…too nice. Pirates were the nastiest, slimiest, and overall most disgusting people to live this earth. Make it look ugly, make it look ill-constructed and rickety. I do like the gallows though – this could really be a great interactive prop-based experience.
Ripper Row looks promising. I may be biased – the story just intrigues me so much – I mean its truly one of the world’s only true monster stories. He ruled by fear. With the right lighting this will all look phenomenal (the lighting team is top notch so I have no fear here - also the blue light testing the other night has me excited for the facades - afterall, he was seen as a "back alley dweller") – still holding out for roofs though – look a bit odd now. One last thing – where are the Wicked Woods facades? For the love of God they were and are impeccable! Are they in Cutthroat?
All in all I see the opportunities – but seriously burn those banners. Like for the glory of Satan burn those banners.
