I agree. That will be nice. Great place to watch Wishes, too.Polynesian Princess wrote:I miss the bump too even though it looks really nice. I guess it was just different and I liked that about it.

I've actually never watched Wishes from there! (Though I guess that would be true for anywhere in the park.momeja wrote:I agree. That will be nice.

Re: Adventureland Bridge Refurb
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...

I believe yodiwan1 was not going to the parks until Saturday and I was there Friday night. So, unfortunately, no meet-up there.mindflipper wrote:So was NaCler - did you try to meet up?yodiwan1 wrote:I was just there this past weekend and took a few pics of the bridge. I will put them up sometime this week!!!
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.NaCler wrote:

Re: Adventureland Bridge Refurb
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!

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

Re: Adventureland Bridge Refurb
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?

Re: Adventureland Bridge Refurb
Actually, IMHO I like the new sign over the old sign.

Re: Adventureland Bridge Refurb
I do too... It's got a little Indiana Jones/Jungle Cruise-ish theming to it with the skulls. Very nice change.mindflipper wrote:Actually, IMHO I like the new sign over the old sign.
Re: Adventureland Bridge Refurb
It's much more "adventurous," less classic theme park, I think.

Re: Adventureland Bridge Refurb
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.
