And eye witness accounts claim it can be seen from the Hub. Now knowing how much of an eyesore Toy Soldiers Parachute Drop and the coaster are to the backdrop of the Studios in Paris I did suspect that perhaps Adventureland at Hong Kong Disneyland would suffer. But I did not think that this land of tacky carnival rides would hurt the overall backdrop to this park like it has done to the Studios. But seeing how visable it is to see the crane. I'm now not to sure the beautiful HKDL backdrop is going to be so lucky to escape. This appears to be yet again another design blunder from the execs in charge and the Imagineers who seem to be doing a poor job of hiding this monstrosity from Guest's visiting other areas of the park. Another poor show from Disney here!

Originally Posted By FerretAfros It's not too surprising that the crane can be seen from the hub, since it would need to be taller than anything they build. I hope that it won't be too intrusive on the other lands, but I suspect it will be visible from certain vantage points around AL and FL. Hopefully the trees will be tall enough to hide the stuff that doesn't look so nice.
