Main Street U.S.A. hub redevelopment at the Magic Kingdom

[DisneyJeff]

As of yesterday, neither was open. http://forums.wdwmagic.com/threads/...he-magic-kingdom.880663/page-391#post-6983681

Thank you. At first, I didn't recognize that the 2nd photo was of the west ramp. I hope they open soon. (by next week?)

I'm sure theirs pics buried in this thread somewhere I could find my answer to but it'd be great if someone could just answer this instead lol.

The old photo location (with the castle in the background) by the entrance of the Rose garden, is that completely gone?

I believe it is. I haven't been since that part of the hub was finished, but it looked like that was going to be part of a walkway or garden but not exactly accessible. I actually chose that spot to propose last year for that reason.

I purposed at that picture location 2 years ago before this HUB redesign was announced. Needless to say I wasn't too happy about the spot I choose most likely not lasting. Can't do anything about it now though lol.

Someone asked a few days, or weeks, ago about the lighting rigs on the new turrets. Here is a picture of the one on the far right turret during last night's Celebrate the Season

I know there are many light poles but at least these are retractable

agree, the others are just plain ugly.

West ramp to the castle open to the public this morning Saturday 11/21. East ramp still needs a little work and is blocked by the rolling shrubbery.

Just leaving MK now and the West ramp was open...we were able to walk down it. Also looks like the “fences” between the columns will be going in soon.

I found a very nice photo update of the castle ramps over at DaMouse.

Nice. I can't wait for those boards to be removed so they can install the metal fencing.

Is it just perception, but the ramps seem narrower than before. Could be wrong, been a while since I've walked them.

Ah, so they are replacing the boards. We were led to believe otherwise.

Well that is what it says in the article. Aren't they wooden anyways? Can't be permanent.

With a majority of the hub now complete, I'm interested to hear from anyone who has attended MVMCP and where the best locations now are for watching everything. I'm at least hoping it has created additional viewing areas for the parade, castle show, and fireworks.

It looks like they are narrower to me, but it's been a few years since I've been down them.

I could use any feedback as well for when we are there in two weeks!

Wonderful work!

Is it my imagination or are the castle ramps no longer symmetrical ?

They are symmetrical but the east ramp is still shut as of this mornings rope drop.
