However I checked and SM got a THEA award. It's something to be proud of when Disney's weakest park got two awards. The park looks bad, but it has some great attractions and we enjoy spending time there. And Cinemagique is one of my all time favourite Disney attractions. It's just a movie with some effects, but I just love it.

I'm not sure why anybody would want that. It's not stylized enough to make it edgy...it's just the regular sculpture painted with strange colors...those wacky Europeans!

The ones on the roof arrived in summer, but they weren't finished until October. I think I read somewhere that they waited so long because of ongoing settings which had to be done to the projectors.

Still, I'm surprised that they didn't install them when they were doing the initial construction for the show. I guess they didn't know how long the show would be around at that point What did the one that's now rockwork look like? Was it just a projector sitting on the side of the hill?

In 2013 when we met there? Back then Disney Dreams was already running a year and Disney started hiding the projectors in summer of 2012. Only the ones on the roof were visible.

Originally Posted By dagobert >>>My last trip was when we met up, I assumed the projectors were still out then!!!<<< I looked at the pictures of the castle I made and none of the projectors are visible on castle hill. Off-topic: We might visit London next year, so maybe we could meet again.
