I miss the bump too even though it looks really nice. I guess it was just different and I liked that about it. Plus, I love sitting therein the evenings after the park closes. I love getting in a spot where I can hear the Adventureland music, but admire the castle changing.

I agree. That will be nice. Great place to watch Wishes, too.

I've actually never watched Wishes from there! (Though I guess that would be true for anywhere in the park.

) I'm not sure how much a view you can get right there because of the trees? Some times I can't seem to find the "sweet spot" where you can still hear the Adventureland loop, but still see the castle. If I'm remembering correctly, even the best view is a partially obstructed one. Depends on my mood whether I choose that or just go further towards the center where I can at least still look back at Adventureland.

DW and I watched Wishes about halfway between the hub and the Adventureland bridge. Great view and slightly less crowded...plus we got to use the rail to lean on.

I like the new sign (from the pics) and I'm sure it's something that will feel "normal" once I have walked it a few times. Maybe that could be done while enjoying a Dole Whip...

So was NaCler - did you try to meet up?

I believe yodiwan1 was not going to the parks until Saturday and I was there Friday night. So, unfortunately, no meet-up there.

BIG - I walked across the bridge Friday night and was amazed that I like the bridge better now than I did before. It does have a noticeable down-slope to it.

Good to hear. I look forward to trying it out.

I didn't get a good shot of the base of the bridge as we were hurrying to get to the Jungle Cruise... and I still have no clue what was on my lens!

That's nice though ~ that is the first nighttime photo of the bridge that I have seen

Love the signage. I'm liking this new bridge more and more every time I see another picture of it.

Does anyone have a picture of the sign over the old bridge? Is this the same sign or a new one? If new, I wonder what changes they made?

Old bridge and sign (not my photo)

Actually, IMHO I like the new sign over the old sign.

I do too... It's got a little Indiana Jones/Jungle Cruise-ish theming to it with the skulls. Very nice change.

It's much more "adventurous," less classic theme park, I think.

I definitely like the looks of the new bridge and sign a lot. I too feel that the new sign actually fits the theme better than the old sign. Good to see that completed.
