There are sightline and eyesore problems in EVERY LAND of the DLR. I say take it for what its worth, a fun little ride. Sure, its not cute, but most coasters aren't.

I hope dressing it up as Goofy's Sky School makes it more of a premium C-ticket level attraction and disguises some of the plain mechanics of it.

Even the crummy looking cover that extends over the loading area over the queue. This makes me think that in late phase 2 theyll do something else with that attraction (tear it down!)
Originally Posted By SafariRob >>There are sightline and eyesore problems in EVERY LAND of the DLR.<< That may very well be true...especially outside the gate on the shuttle ride in...but remember that it is much more evident @ DCA because of MFW. Disney backed themselves into a corner when they decided to build it because of the views it offers.

They're cartoon-ey looking, and seem to fit the look of the ones in the concept art, so they might show up in DCA too.
