What happen to all the flags behind the Victory Canteen sign? Note how the sign is on steel girders that are not even there to support the structure, but there for design aesthetics.
One last single picture before the post goes up...
In case you didn't catch on already, you should all be thanking Luke for these pictures. Not that he's lacking in Rep, but more can't hurt.

Not that he's lacking in Rep, but more can't hurt.I can't wait to get to the park to see everything myself. Things are looking much better than I expected.
EDIT: Anyone want to tell me why crumpled sheet metal represents the USA?

That looks god awful. Does Scott Gasparich have a limit? Will the continuity of mediocrity and flashiness ever stop?
Hmmmm....I would rather have Illuminights. Yaaaaaay America but...well yea....it just looks bad...really really bad.
Although it is consolidated to a single hamlet, at least Illuminights kept the park the same during the day, and didn't ruin the beauty of the park's most beautiful hamlet.
Thanks Lukemcnuggets for the pictures!

Wow that is bad....
And this is coming from the guy that usually defends the park on design choices.
Illuminights worked because it wasn't a country thing. But hanging up a bunch of American stuff in San Marco is plain horrible looking.

Well, I think the decor is better than I was expecting, but SO MUCH of it in such a small area is a bit of an eyesore. Especially when San Marco's existing theme sort of clashes. Why not Festa, I wonder? It seems like the sparkles and banners would clash a lot less there.
The Statue of Liberty, famous for being a gift from France, is located dead smack in the middle of the park's Italian area!

This.
See, when I first heard about this event, I was hoping they could take America, and blend it into Europe in a logical way. Like they could put replicas and models of American landmarks, or events. And put it in the hamlet from which the idea, and/or object the European country it originated in. Put a plaque about how that thing or idea influenced America through Europe, and Boom! You got yourself a non-flashy, yet educational event. Then to top it off, you could bring back the Here's to the Heroes bridge, and have a nice American type firework display at night.
That is what I was hoping for, however we all know Scott couldn't think logically enough to make an event like that, so instead we got San Marco turned into San 'Merica.
Has everyone considered the fact that when you first enter the park, you run smack into a sea of Union Jacks? I suppose escaping them to San Merica is slightly reminiscent of the Revolution, or something?
Am I the only one who's mystified how they got those banners to connect to the columns who's tops were crumbling as of last week?
Sorry to play devil's advocate, but I kind of like the decor. It could have been a WHOLE LOT WORSE!! It doesn't look amazing, and it definitely doesn't fit the theme of San Marco, but I still like it. Can't wait to see it in person.
I cant help it.....That canteen/bar thing looks really really awful. Painting up some plastic and tin foil red white and blue does NOT instantly transform it into Americana. It transforms it into red white and blue tinfoil and plastic.
Edit....BGW has always been a 'stop and look' park. This screams 'look the other way'.
