Filming for Saturday Night Takeaway - MK Flagpole MIA

[Bolt]

Flag pole came down overnight last night

Typically it's placed in front of City Hall as its secondary location.

Unrelated, but I love the new emporium roof. It really pops!

I asked a CM and on April 8th they're filming a show. Flag pole moved to city hall.

Edit: it has nothing to do with any of the Main Street vehicles. Just that they're filming a show.

Yeah they're having Ant and Dec's Saturday night takaway, live from MK on Saturday. Interesting that they are doing it in Town Sqaure, I would have though that they would have done it on the castle stage, for capacity reasons. Same reason goes for FoF running at 5 the same day.

In other news, it seems this is the new Trolley Show:

Yikes. That looks a lot like a horse drawn hearse.

That's what I thought it was at first!

The speed and "magic" in how Disney makes these changes is what makes the company so interesting! And so frustrating when they take eons to do other things :/

 

[Cmdr_Crimson]

That is a beautiful carriage. Maybe the trolley is getting some work done?

Looks like something that would have fit during YOMAD in 2006...

My husband thought it resembles the Budweiser beer wagon that the Clydesdales pull.

Completely missed this on our way in. The MIA flagpole is indeed in front of City Hall.

The red roof on the Emporium looks fantastic!

Or a beer wagon. For dead beer.

We did wonder where they would have filmed it. Can see why they are doing it then as only those who won seats on the specially chartered Virgin Atlantic plane are in the audience. We nearly made it but the last sofa near us was just the wrong side of the Loch to get to in time.
Show goes out live at 2pm US time (7pm UK time).

That is exactly what I thought as it passed us this afternoon. There were no performers around it and the cast members were sort of serious as they passed.

Well it has worked well for the Red Roof Inn's for decades.

LOL

Even a red roof is cause to be unhappy with the company and resort? I have my complaints as well, it's not perfect, but I don't quite get it .... the roof does look nice

Ye gods remember when those things called trees provided a break between Main St and the Castle.

Now its a horrible mishmash of victorian era America and medieval Germany

Its crap like this which makes me want to puke because instead if the careful visual transitions now its all out there Six Flags style.
