Originally Posted By FerretAfros While I agree that it looks out of place, I don't think it's nearly as bad in person as it appears in photos/descriptions. The colors pick up on different things in the area, and really kind of tie everything together visually, even though they look pretty strange on their own. Much like the facades that transition between Bengal Barbecue and the Riverbelle Terrace, taken individually it's beyond bizarre, but when you step back and look at the whole environment and the transitions and connections being made, it kind of makes sense. If we can have electric blue rocks all over Tomorrowland, why can't we have some patina-green rocks in Adventureland?

(1G1, if you have pictures with more-normal lighting, they'd be great to see too!) <a href="http://micechat.com/blogs/in-the-parks/3180-disneyland-glows-halloween-time-parade-party-hit-again-screamin-returns.html" target="_blank">http://micechat.com/blogs/in-t...rns.html</a>

Originally Posted By Jim in Merced CA The color looks a bit un-natural. Sort of like the faded blue-green that the Swiss Family Treehouse leaves used to get. But it certainly is eye-catching.
