Paradise Bay Refill Pictures

stevo505 · 10-25-2009, 10:32 PM

I believe they are mixing in green dye. There was a picture I saw where you could see some oily stuff on the surface, so I believe that's the dye they are adding. I think Paradise Bay will be the same color as Rivers of America because that body of water also uses dye to hide the mechanisms for Fantasmic.

they should use blue dye its not a river!

#1DisneyFreak · 10-26-2009, 11:15 AM

they were filling while we were there and I agree about the dye. It did totally look like there was some in there. I can't WAIT for this to be done! Bring on the World of COLOR!!!!!

oh, I didn't know, I was just guessing.... but I guess I forgot to put "I think" or "I guess" (oh sure, I remember it now!)

Nice pic's Zero......It's filled up a lot..I think by the end of the week it will be filled all the way......Cant WAIT!!!!..My pics just showed shallow ponds....

Disneyland_DHI · 10-30-2009, 07:56 PM

is that a new lake color I'm seeing? It looks nice and blue, unlike the water before... but it's the same water, isn't it? weird...

gurugriff100 · 10-30-2009, 08:43 PM

SHADO · 11-01-2009, 12:56 PM

The water was filtered. It comes back clean and clear. They can dye it whatever color they want.

They stopped once they reached the bottom of the platform. They have more work to do out there, and they're also testing the platform's bouyancy (as it is designed to float). Once they are done with everything out in the lagoon, they will slowly begin to fill it up (all the way, this time). But they will test equipment as it becomes submerged, so expect the process to be significantly slower than the first half.

Designed to float? Will there be some type of mechanism that will lower the platform under the water to make it invisible when it's not showtime?

I don't understand the need to have it float since all that water pressure from the cannons going off would in some way tilt, shift and move the platform. And if it is to float, why have all those lifts they had installed prior to the platform assembly there? If it is designed to float, it would be designed to sink thus hiding it from daytime viewing until the show. Anyways, wouldn't those lift mechanisms be able to push it to the surface and maintain a consistent level much like the Fantasmic! water screen lifts? Those too are lifted up and lowered down using hydraulics. Also, if they are to work on the platform for any reason, you would think it would be easier to fix or change out the parts on a solid platform as opposed to a buoyant platform that keeps shifting around when you make movements.

Most importantly, how do we know it is to be a floating platform and not lifted into place like Fantasmic!? Has Disney fully come out and stated anything about the design and function of the show elements and how it works?
