fan of CP for decades, and despite living in the Orlando, FL area since 1986, I have made at least one (and more often several) trips to the Point each year.
The combination of unparalled thrill rides, the scenic natural beauty that remains in parts of the park, and, importantly, the rich history and historic feel of parts of the park offer an experience not found elsewhere, and are the reasons for my annual cross country treks from the theme park capital of the world all the way to the North Coast of Ohio.

I thought the awnings were a little random, too, but maybe they'll finalize those later. I also think the blue was pretty with the white and the lake.
My concern is that it's been taken off the National Register because of past renovations but I hope they will still respect its historical decor of the main areas.

As someone who stays at the Breakers 6 or 7 times each summer (I have a house down the road on CP Road, but rent out my place sometimes), I can add here that I sure hope they renovate the interior/counter area...
I don't think they are planning on doing much the integrity of what is there at all -- but they need to restucco the entire lobby area -- and they can't add air conditioning in there without redoing all the windows and entrance areas...it all needs to be modernized, including new lighting fixtures, electrics, ventilation, etc....
I think their emphasis on refurbishment at the Breakers was LONG needed...some of the interiors of the rooms in the Main and Twin sections (other than new mattresses and tv's) haven't been redone since the 60's....
I hope the rotunda and the writing room are kept in something similar to their current forms. I have often brought my work to the point with me in the summertime and have sat in the writing room with my laptop. It is truly a great atmosphere and it's mind boggling to think who else may have written in that very room over the past century and a half or so.
