Luna Park Pool - BWV

Page removed. Was it a picture? Did I miss it?

Sneak peak at Mickey and Friends on the slide. They removed the image after their spelling mistake was noticed.

Ohhhhhhh wow! I thought you meant a spelling mistake on the post, not on the actual artwork for the slide. That's not good.

There aren’t enough words to express how much I dislike this design.

After seeing this glimpse and thinking about the new Mickey ride next door at HS, it kind of ties the two together as the ride has some “boardwalk-esque” elements. Not hating the idea, but I also didn’t have any attachment to the clown...

Well, at least they didn't try to incorporate Star Wars or Marvel graphics. We stayed at BW 2x and there was something lovable about that creepy clown slide. I'm not going to miss it, but still sad to see it go.

Oh well. It’s still the best slide on property, no matter what the exit looks like!

What a great chance to use projection mapping to create something really unique at a WDW pool. Missed opportunity.

Doesn’t really work during the day when the pool is used most.

Design a boxed cover or extended awning (like carnivals and Midway's have) and do reverse projection.

I just don’t think it would work well in the Florida sunlight.

You design it to minimize the exposure to sunlight during the day. I think it would work good during the day and be excellent for evening and night shows.

Meh, I’d much rather have a well designed 3D sculpture or whatever you want to call it. I wasn’t opposed to losing the clown but this is just cheap.

The clown is a circus theme, not a boardwalk theme. Plus...terrifying.

I am in the minority but I love the new Mickey cartoons, so this is a big win for me. Besides the Boardwalk never impressed me, aside from the actual slide. That was fun (despite the soul eating monster).

OK - I'm going to ask a dumb question; why does there need to be a wall on either side of the slide at the edge of the pool at all? None of the other slides have that. I think I kinda like it better than the clown, but I can't help but think "nothing" would be even better.

It’s just part of the “theming”

Boardwalks of old had a clown presence in many cases.

I agree with what one person posted on Twitter: it looks like a Disney construction wall. Still, I've always hated the clown so I'm happy.
