Remember that "Stars On Set" exhibition which started in September 2002 and then continued for years and years and years? Well, it's finally over! And in it's place.... some lovely movie posters, old and new, from Disney's best-loved films. And the best part - they're colourful, very "Disney" and they complement the zones they're placed in. We've got Mickey Mouse and Animation Classics around Animation Courtyard, then Disney Channel shows around the TV Tour and then big action blockbusters in Backlot!
Here's a few of them:

Aren't they great? I really like the "Orphan's Benefit" one - it fits nicely against the colours of Studio 1. :D
Oh wow they know how to liven up that park, it's so great to see them, especially these 2 which I have to say are my 2 favourite disney movies nice to see them there :D .

Definately nice to see they have tried hard with this, I say it must make the studios a nice place especially for all those awful WDS is a place of concrete idiotic fans :P .
The Chicken Little ones are the same as in Disney-MGM Studios.
They're all looking great! 8)
Even more new posters have been put up over the last few days:

YAY a poster for yet another movie that has not been released :D , I know Pirates of the Caribbean 2 poster does not look fantastic, it's so cool to see a poster up for it, can't wait to see that movie another 2+ hours of Orlando Bloom and Johnny Depp :lol: .
They have almost all been removed, with the exception of a couple Chicken Little ones at Animation Courtyard!

any idea whats replacing them?
Quote from: "penfold12"any idea whats replacing them?
Lumière? :lol:
I hope they will be replaced with new movie posters
Isn't this since the storm that hit wds a couple of months ago?
No, there were a few damaged, but far from all!!
Any chance they might ever take these lighting rigs down? No other Disney park has them. In my opinion they look very ugly and industrial, ruining the themeing of any land they're in.
Are the lighting rigs even used during the parades? I don't think they are. So what are they for?
QuoteAs the lighting rigs even used during the parades? I don't think they are. So what are they for?
Yes they are. :?
What, they really use the lights, in the middle of the day? I know they use the speakers, but surely speakers could be hidden away a bit more.
In Disneyland Park the lights on the Main Street Buildings are in use during the parade, too :P
Yes the lights are switched on and the speakers are mostly housed on these rigs.
I think they are alright myself, they make the place feel more like a studio and give it some extra depth - imagine how open it would feel without them.
We already reported in the Toon Studio topic about the return of the posters in the TS area, but now they're popping up again all over the park!
Quote from: "WDSfans"We've got word from a friend that more posters have returned on the lighting rigs through out the park. The Chronicles of Narnia - The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe posters have appeared near Rendez-Vous des Stars along with Armageddon posters near the same-named attraction.
Moderator Flor captured a photo of a Mary Poppins poster near Disney Studio 1 and in the distance Disney Channel posters can be seen near the Television Tour building.
Many thanks to CHT and magicforum moderator Flor.

The posters look nice, but those parade towers are still extremely ugly. What good is it spending hundreds of millions of Euros on the Tower of Terror and Hollywood street sets, if you have this cheap, temporary-looking scaffolding permanently infront of it?
In my opinion, these parade towers either need to be mechanised so that they are normally hidden in the ground, and come up only at parade times. Or, they should be completely removed and replaced with Lot-specific themed lighting.
At Disneyland in California, the Fantasmic lighting columns are hidden in the ground, and rise up mechnically. Check out this video on YouTube to see what I mean:

No,
I have got to admit like poppy I think it makes the park feel like a movie or production studio rather than an amusment park.
So I do not agree that they look cheap or tacky.

Yes, but isn't Fantasmic located in Frontierland, rather than a "studio"? :wink:
Similar rigs are also located in the Main Street rooftops and at the Castle Stage.
