Originally Posted By WorldDisney Yeah, that fountain looks AMAZING!!! If I recall, DLR was ALSO suppose to have a fountain, right? I wonder if it was suppose to look ANYTHING like this one (as we are always told, idea's at Imagineering are never thrown away). Thanks for the pictures Lee .
Originally Posted By leemac WorldDisney the fountains I saw in early concept art for DLR called for a different concept. It was later dropped to prevent the esplanade becoming too crowded. HKDL has much more room to play around. The distance between the fountain and the main gates is quite substantial. The only interesting thing is that it isn't a funnel so the ticket booths aren't fanned out. The width at the fountain is almost the same as the turnstiles entrance.

And thanks a lot Lee, your pictures are brilliant!
