I feel like the waterline of this area should be left free. Anyone agree?

Also don't forget that there are plans to add more places to stand and relax. The sunwheel is suppose to get a nice boardwalk around it and the orange stinger will be removed eventually

Of course, this is a plan and we will have to wait and see what happens when the Sun Wheel gets rethemed. As for the Stinger being removed. Not yet approved. Right now they're hovering between a retheme or removal. Budgets have yet to be set on this.
Originally Posted By bean yes barth, your right the Stingers future has been going back and forth from not being touched to retheming to removal then removal again. I think the best thing is to retheme it but then a perfctly useful attraction that has some populairty will be removed and decrease attraction count. There is a heavy push to remove it though. We will see what happens at the end. As for the Sunwheel the plans are to add the boardwak around it but the design of the pier has also been changing. That idea is one that we hope it stays. It would really add to the view of the area

They can leave the OS and turn it into a restaurant or something - you get a nice view at that height. The structure is unique. Unlike the TSM area where the old original buildings were just simple stucco stuctures.

But maybe this is a topic for another thread lol. As far as the ODV cart is concerned, I actually don't mind it. It would give some visual interest to the opposite side of the pier. The whole railing doesn't have to be blank just for the sake of viewing the bay. That would be kind of boring.
