The balcony is great because you get reserved seats and desert, but it's too far away to be emmersive. But that's just me.

I agree with you 100% on this. A balcony visit should NOT be a person's first experience with F! It is a wonderful and decadent viewing opportuntiy, but it is not the immersive experience that I feel F! is when viewed down on the river's edge.

This change may be contrary to the original design, but I feel that it is one improvement that should stay - regardless of what becomes of the apartment/balcony and F!
