Can we please stop shaming people for criticizing aspects of certain projects that they're really excited about? If we do not have criticism, what else are we supposed to discuss? :tongue: I think a mural is definitely lazy, given the extensive scenic work that was put into Diagon. Even the small forced perspective facades seen while on the Gringotts staircase have some dimensional aspect to them. A 6" layer of relief-based rockwork would catch midday and lighting shadows. If this mural gets lit up at night, the whole thing will catch the beam of light at once and make it look very flat.
Anyways, does anyone have clear shots of the opening from which the ride vehicles will exit? Also, will the station be a simulated-outdoor setting like E.T.? Stations are probably in my top 3 favorite aspects of rides.
Oh my god, can y'all imagine what the lighting from the fire effect is going to look like cast on the foliage and vehicle as it approaches the temple? The way the buildings in Diagon catch the fireball's lighting makes me giddy. Fire is just one of those things that is so hard to recreate virtually, so when you do see it, the effect leaves you bereft.
