Why do the protective covers on the bases of the Tinkertoy lamp posts have € signs on them? Is it a warning to the construction workers, as if to say, "careful, this stuff is new and very expensive"? Seems like something my dad would do.

Oh I guess so actually. It has 'attention' or 'caution' written below it so it must be a symbol like you say. You'd think WDI knows what's valuable and what's not though...

It is coming together quite well , but that parachute tower is one pig ugly piece of construction , you could never look at it and say it was a beautiful addition to the park !

If the parachute tower actually had one massive parachute on top of it, hiding all of the mechanisms under an umbrella, it would look better.

Now theres an idea. I was trying to think of an aeroplane like structure as they're supposed to be parachutes but thought that would only make it ..... I was going to say uglier but will go for harsher on the eye. A parachute on top  would soften it.

I am still excited to see all the changes (whatever is considered good and bad in different peoples eyes) and am feeding all info onto DD, making us really look forward to our trip in August. Keep it coming guys  :D

Hi all,

I'm really excited that the TSPL will be open when we go (hopefully!!) at the end of August this year.
The photos so far look really good, I'm a bit apprehensive as to how well it will fit in with the park, but once everything is finished i'm sure it will amazing.
Can't wait to explore the new playland!!!

I don't know if that is possible to do, due to safety rules and regulations.
If they would have done that, the parachute on top should have been very large, so that people can still walk on top of the tower for the mechanisms when a failure occures. Not to mention the wind speeds that will be speeding up when it comes under the large parachute.
And a dome on top of the tower would only make it more visible from outside the Walt Disney Studio's and in the Disneyland Park.

I'm sure it is possible some way, but I don't know if it would have been better for both view and safety rules.

I agree. A massive parachute on top of the tower wouldn't make much sense with regards to theming, and it probably wouldn't look that good either, in my opinion at least.

^I don't think such thing on top will make it better. It's gonna make the tower even more visable from outside (and inside) the park! ;)

And it'd probably look like a giant umbrella  :P
