DHS Streets of America Development Watch (no longer DEMO)

Yes. The open aspect through to the SOA facade from the fountain area should give it kinetic and depth. To sound all posh-like.

Since there pouring concrete... will this open earlier than 2019..

Sounds like they should have this new area completed before the end of the year so they can push the walls back to the entrance of Star Wars.

That's what I was thinking I want to hear it from Martin though

Earlier than 2018 if all goes to plan.

What else is there to do?

 

[jaxonp]

It seems like that open park area will be the perfect staging area everyday before they let people into Star Wars Land. They are planning for once, it seems, because we know they'll need the space!

 

[marni1971]

Finish it!

 

[WDWbuff2001]

Finish it!

Duh! Btw where mater and lighting queen and phineas and ferb meet n greet was where the exit of Muppet vision is what are the plans for that area

That's being taken over for SWL's (aka SW:GE's) back stage and infrastructure.

Yeah I'm imagining a pre land entry queue to deal with the crowds

Thanks for the info! Any chance we'll get some sort of Muppets Courtyard sign?

Are you expecting water to return to the fountain? I really hate it as a planter.

Several of our insiders have indicated the fountain will return. The fountain pump mechanical shed had to be moved.

Thank heavens. I knew that had been speculated at one point, but didn't know if it still stood. WDW once had a nasty habit of turning fountains into planters and leaving them that way.

Yes.

Yes.

Sure, they'll gut the Great Movie Ride but keep THIS thing. Oh well, it DOES have screens...

Maybe Oswald will be with Mickey. You never know.

Not the thread for it but I see no reason they can't work in Oswald, Clarabelle and Horace (I imagine Pete will be a part of it already but who knows?). I'd appreciate those cameos.

Thanks for restraining yourself. I can't even imagine what you'd want to do to the Muppet building!

 

[RSoxNo1]

Yes. I'm expecting a low brick wall that rises to be higher towards two large brick "gate posts" (no gates). The wall will be as low as maybe 2ft and the posts around 12-15 ft high. Separating the wall from the old SOA tarmac as it were will be grass, landscaping and trees. In fact, trees should line the sidewalks either side of the tarmac -there will still be a "road" setting - the whole area should be like a little park in the middle of a city.

Can you be more specific? I need the hex/HTML color code for every brick.
