Hmm, seems fences have arrived around Cinemagique, though the attraction is not set for its annual refurbishment for 10 days yet :? .

It does need a clean-up, but.. woooooooop... stuff happening!!
The purple has turned cream!

Repainting from base coat, or a new colour scheme? The cream looks far nicer IMHO, more old-fashioned.
Here are some more pictures from past weekend:

Yes, that's one of the many strobe-lights that are being added...
Strobe lights? Hh-oooohkay...
The purple is really nice. That area should be darker and more like a cinema lobby, so it helps.
Placemaking must be a while off yet, then. Unless this is it. :twisted:
It looks good! The purple is looking indeed much more classic and more cinema like.
Which placemaking Baloo???? (Or am i being a bit slow here???? :oops: )
I like the new colors too! And hope also that this won´t be the only placemaking thing. Would like a hollywod Bvd. one.
@ soap There should be a placemaking project for the rest of production courtyard, as rumoured.

Ahhh....like that :oops: Thanks for clearing that up for me Riebi!
So is this just a general refurbishment or the start of the long rumoured PlaceMaking/Theatre District that has been long talked about?
Disneytheque have an update on Cinemagique:

New film posters?

Just looking at this picture, I noticed something. The white section looks an awful lot like this:

Is there a new cinema style design on the way? :-k

Those poster frames are more than a little ugly compared to the old ones... :(
The filmstrip down the entrance looks... reasonably good. I'd love to see some film titles on the new white panels though like you spotted, just some black letters saying "Star Wars", "The Wizard of Oz", "Les Parapluies de Cherbourg", "Titanic", etc would really help to attract people.
Worth pointing out the filmstrips hanging from the ceiling are gone too, if you didn't notice. And hopefully all those frames will be filled with posters of films actually in the film. :wink:

If I'm not mistaken, these films that were "advertised"
are in CinéMagique...
Don´t know what to think about this film posters-thing. Must have a look after the finish of this section.
The "white section" could be a cool addition. Would be nice to see some titles there.
The film strip at the entrance isn´t totally my taste but I´ve must have a look later after the finish, too! :mrgreen:

Looks good, I wonder if we are getting a completely new sign, or if it'll be the same.

I've just left the WDS after Tower of Terror press event tests. Brand new 3d cinemagique lettering has been put in place above that electronic sign, and it looks really good.
Wow! I must say, it looks wonderful! Like the new style of it and I´m now very very intersting in this 3D Letters!
That's really good! It's amazing how much WDS has changed in a year, and not just the new attractions.
This upgrade looks wonderful. I like the fact that they've tried to resemble a filmstrip with the new posters and purple strip. I hope they will add a ticketbooth like at Stitch Live!'s entrance, since it would be a nice fit at Cinemagique's entrance aswell. :)
Edit: New pics from Scrooge at DMI...

Thanks for posting those pictures. It's definitely an improvement in my opinion. :)
It's a definite improvement for the building, I wonder what caused them to do it though :-k
