PR: all these attractions will sure make the publishers hungry! What will the park offer as concessions?
Heavy: PR, I'm glad you asked. Follow me over to the "Afternoon Lunch Venue" Bistro designed with stadium seating, just like at the District Conventions, complete with "attendants" to direct you to your seats! Why, the friends will feel as though they're at an actual "theocratic" meeting, that way the children will know to listen, obey and not get too carried away. And did I mention the menu? Hoagie sandwiches, juice boxes and strawberry cream pastries for dessert!...(making overly emphatic gestures showing the size of the hoagies)

There is a weird visual discrepancy for me in the photo. It shows both Caleb and his parents walking AWAY from the light... Walking away from what looks like a paradise-like setting, and Caleb running AWAY from a door, with a burglar-sort of body language. Like he's trying to get away fast.
It it just strikes a wrong note.... like they pictured it backwards....

I agree, muddywaters.
And another question - why did the parents let Caleb go to the door by himself?

It sure looks A LOT like the Yellow Brick road.... Maybe Caleb's parents just saw the man behind the curtain. However, the look of their faces kinda reminds me of some strung out college kids

Are they volcanoes in the background?

They may have their little cartoons and can take IPads and other devices to the meetings but they still have to sit still and not talk and they have to waste their time going out in field service. They still can't play sports, clubs, activities, celebrate the holidays, go to college and other fun things. Not much has really changed when you look at the whole picture.

It also looks like Caleb ran ahead of his parents and did the door by himself!

In New York they have this similar set up only you can stand among the cartoon characters holding a bookbag and get your picture taken going out in service with Caleb. I notice more and more they are showing the brothers wearing only a shirt and tie without a sport coat. I wonder if they're trying to relax the dress code a little. It used to be oh so important not to do anything WT related without wearing at least a sport jacket and tie.

again the org takes a que from Christendom churches. This reminds me of Waumba land at Northpoint community church in Atlanta, GA.
