When I walked down to the Mystic falls for the first time I was struck at how large the scale of the buildings has become. The cozyness of SDC and the tree canopy made the exploration of the park great fun. The scale and size of the new buildings is in conflict with the theme. They can create buildings that looked scaled down to try to maintain that SDC fee; but they are ( New BBQ Hall) scaling them up, the new FITH as mentioned is so large with no attempt to control the look. This is eating into the vibe. I personally think the walk down under the tracks when you get near the water has been lost. Those sightlines of lake silver and woods were necessary but now there is a huge BBQ restaurant in the way. Loss of water features, quaintness, trees, views are all adding to a park I dont want to linger in as long as I did SDC, just the desire to soak in the atmosphere feels lost. SDC is losing its "park- like- woodsy" feel.
It no longer feels "real"
