    [Chat] Does it bother you?

    IMO, it bothers me when I see the Haunted Mansion so close to Splash Mountain. So the real topic is, are there any rides that have intrusions next door? Love to hear people's opinion!

    Re: Does it bother you?

    ^No, Splash Mountain was designed to compliment the Haunted Mansion, so it never bothered me. I actually think they did a really good job.

    I think the worst thing... Astro Orbitor. Seen from Plaza Gardens, Adventrueland, even Frontierland sometimes.

      Astro Orbitor for sure. Also, BTMR. It can be seen from NOS and CC.

              Monsters, Inc. has a horrible contrast with Hollywood Pictures Backlot theme.

                It doesn't bother me, but a Swiss Mountain next to giant caterpillars, flowers, and leaves that is encirled by a monorail and submarines

                Oh yeah, just a little contrast, but I think it blends well and is freakin awesome!

                  There are some odd choices, Splash Mountain looks odd if you are standing from the HM porch, to me, but doesn't horribly offend me.

                  I really dig the Matterhorn area myself, even though all the elements are rather random...swiss mountain + cartoon giant flowers + monoral + sub lagoon. But it works.

                  For me, simply put...the giant lagoon as part of Tomorrowland itself...not so much.

                    It bothers me that you can see Space Mountain from Main Street and the Hub, but about Splash Mountain next to the Haunted Mansion, no.

                            Same here. To me it's even more of a reminder of where I am; where anything is possible.

                              Your not serious are you? I mean, it really bothers you? Like how? You can't go to that side of the park it bothers you? Or you get sick it bothers you?

Having off-ride footage is great, but any still photo's or video's taken ON the coasters at SFMM are strictly against the rules. They are there for your (and everybody's) safety." "Six Flags doesn't allow ANY loose articles on their coasters, and they don't allow video taping on their coasters. " BUT, "​ This is not true. Six Flags does not allow ANY On-Ride video or pictures on the rides. The ONLY way is if you get explicit permission from Park Management." ???

                                I like the odd combination of Disneyland. It just seems... right, maybe? I don't know. I don't mind much of anything. Except for the 'observatron' or whatever. The gold thing where the rockets used to be that lights up and rotates every half hour or whatever?

                                What does that do? Or what's it supposed to do? It seems random, and nobody seems to understand.

                                  I don't like being able to see the Anaheim Convention Center from California Screamin'.

                                  As much as I like riding on the Monorail, I don't like seeing all the businesses/restaurants along Harbor Blvd.

                                    Astro Orbitor is the worst hands down, the observatron is the next, I think it was supposed to do some fancy light show thing every hour and some agency had a problem with them shooting lights in the air every hour so now it just sits there looking creepy like a relic from "War of The Worlds"

                                    BUT I''ve always been bugged by another Pressler era masterpiece; the tree stump entrance for tarzans treehouse. Dumped smack in the middle of the main traffic zone of adventureland and at the foot of the bridge over POTC that was created to HELP traffic flow, brilliant!

                                      Seeing Anaheim from the monorail doesn't bother me so much. It is supposed to demonstrate the transportation system of the future, so going along Harbor Blvd actually adds to the theme.

                                      I also don't mind seeing the convention center from Screamin' (or the Sun Wheel or Maliboomer for that matter) because those are carnival/Magic Mountain-type rides and because Magic Mountain doesn't give a hoot about theming, these rides shouldn't either. These visual incongruencies imo actually contribute to the boardwalk theme rather than detracting from it.

                                      You can also see downtown Los Angeles from the top of TOT. But, since TOT is supposed to be located in Hollywood, this is the only TOT at any Disney Park that you can see the actual city that this attraction is supposed to be in.

                                      Things like this used to stress me out a lot more when I was younger. Then I saw some footage of Main Street taken back in the 50s (I wish I remember where I saw it). Behind the Main Street buildings as you enter toward the right, you can easily see the rocket in Tomorrowland looming from behind these buildings. After I saw that image, I became less critical of these things.

                                      Disneyland has a way of presenting things that may not make sense together in a way that either makes total sense or blends in enough to be ingored. Otherwise, we wouldn't be looking at a fairy tale castle, but instead a victorian mansion.
