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

[SpaceMountain75]

This doesn't particularly pertain to the hub, but the scrims are down on the right side of Main Street:

It's hard to tell, but I think another went up down by Casey's on the left in the photo above.

This is funny.... someone that apparently hasn't been wasting his or her time with eyes crazy glued to the computer monitor, sees something that they didn't realize existed, posts it and then become subject to sarcastic responses. What is the average age of most posters anyway. I was laboring under the opinion that we were pretty much all adults. Once again, I am wrong.

I'd wager the opposite, actually. Hence the "!!!11!!1!!", a common internet meme to represent sarcastic excitement (in jest of those too excited to properly hold down the shift key), about a picture of the turrets posted a million times here.

TURRETS!!!!11!!!!!
Photos from the Twitter of the website that shall not be named.

And hence more sarcastic comments about things that have been there forever...

And has that castle always been there?! Finally a new addition for WDW!

We may be all adults, but clearly we're children at heart

This forum has an awkward amalgam of those who are familiar with leetspeak and internet memes and those who are definitely not.

Still love this moment everyday.

It is the same magic they use to float giant blocks of stone over festival tents in Fantasyland. Gah

Someday someone will realize it needs fixing. Been bugging me since 1971.

Hadn't noticed that but you're right. Those tents really just need to go. It'd be a quick fix.

From a reliable source in the MK today Main Street is free of all scrims. Only thing left to do is put the sign back up on the corner of Uptown Jewelers and finish the support columns in front of the store. The front of the castle is another story.

So I wonder how long before scrims go up on the next Main Street Building.

Probably right after this holiday weekend.

Just in time for our Jan/Feb visit!

I hate to be a downer, but haven't they refurbished all the buildings at least twice in the last five years? It sure seems like it.

That surprises me. It seems every year there's always two or more buildings that go behind scrims.

I guess they are still working on the support columns since they are still boxed in?

The photo of the flag folding is from circa 2013. The giveaway is not only the scrim on the left, but the lampposts have not yet been refurbed with the new bucket speakers in town square, which happened in late 2013-early 2014. You can see one of them in the bottom picture. It's the same lamppost that's on the right in the top picture.

They have done such a great job on all these Main Street buildings. I love the colors and everything just looks so clean. How many more buildings do they have to go? Was this it?

I like the color scheme.

Saturday morning the Main Street scrims were down. They must have done them overnight as when we left at 3:30am Saturday Morning they were there but when we were back for our LTT lunch ressie they were down.

Solid detective work! Bravo.

So people complain when Disney doesn't refurb something, and now you're complaining that they refurb too much?!?!?!?? I guess they can't win with you guys. Main Street is one of the first thing that guests see, and they obviously want it to look good. I hope they keep it up.

100% agree. I feel the same way about the castle and really anything that goes under refurbishment. I'd so much rather have whatever's being refurbished be closed and being restored than open and decaying.
