Hmm... I think repainting La Terrasse would be more likely.  They'll want ToT to be a nice, warm yellow so that it matches the studio's other buildings and makes the park seem brighter in cloudy Paris!  

I wonder what will happen to La Terrasse overall though - will they keep it just as it is, moving some of the tables out of the way of the entrance?  Or will they theme it a bit more and make it a bit more interesting?  It would be nice if they perhaps added in some permanent fast food counters there, instead of the Catering Co. vans...

Oh, and will they keep the "La Terrasse" sign, or will they change that to "Hollywood Tower Hotel"?  I don't expect anyone to know these things yet, but it's nice to wonder...  :lol:

Well I hope they'll keep the vintage Perrier posters!!

I did some Google-ing on them and it appears that those are replica's of Perrier posters from the '30's.

Good point (and good googling skills! lol) - those posters are rather nice.     The spooky-looking waiter fits into the ToT theme a bit too...

I would like to see them stay, but perhaps mounted on the wall in a different way?  That plastic format they used there looks dirty and horrible quickly - it might be better if they painted them onto the wall itself and scaled their size up a bit ?

I believe they are painted on the wall!   :-k

Oh... ok.  :?   It just looks like they're painted on a sheet of plastic acetate and then stuck on the wall - the edges look like they've weathered and got a bit dirty.  I've never looked at them that closely though, so I'm not sure.  I'm sure that's how they painted the ones at Café des Cascadeurs though...

Wow!!! It's going so fast!  I can remember the DCA one going up quite quick, but this is incredible!  I'm actually really glad ours is made of concrete now, because you can already get a very good idea of what it'll look like when it's done.  I wonder if our tower will be quicker because of the concrete?  It looks like it could be, but I suppose they still have *loads* to do really...

Some more photos, from Joel:







It's already towering over the park quite a bit, isn't it?

They're going to put a scaffolding (which could be themed) over the construction soon, according to DLRP.fr.

And he's getting bigger and visible from outside of the park!

Baloo, I've checked it past sunday.  It's directly painted on the wall!  The dirty edges are painted on, so I guess they're supposed to look worn.

OK, you win! lol   I guess it'll add to the run-down hotel look soon...   :wink:

Amazing photos!  It's going to be such an awesome way of drawing people into the park - look how clear you can see it from the esplanade!  It looks like it won't be visible from Front Lot though, which is probably good...
