And what's the gain? Stand-alone buildings in place of what's there now? Seems a bit ... wasteful in a way. Are these buildings in absolutely terrible shape behind the walls?
Exactly what I don't get. You have some solid architecture there can be reworked into some great. Just untinting the glass and a good paint scheme would be incredible for the area.

I assume one of the goals is to eliminate the smells. When paying $100 to enter a park for the day we should not be blasted by the smell of human waste. They've struggled with this for a very long time and it seems clear that the proper way to fix them is to reconstruct the entire plumbing system.

Agreed. I've smelled it too but apparently many on here haven't. I was practically roasted for daring to say it smelled like a sewer, LOL!

I still maintain that, while I have a strong love of the outer ring of pavilions architecture, the CC buildings are the least inspired of them all...just google 'Conference Center foyer' and you will understand my reason for not liking them very much.

Every time I see them, inside or out, I feel like I need to check in, get a name tag and bagel from the continental breakfast table in the corner before sitting down for a few hours of power points from somebody that is waaaaaaaay too excited about databases.

Cool club area in particular is bad, but so is the entire back hallway of W. Communicore. East side isn't much better, but most of the smell is in the bathroom area out the door toward TT.

I'm no plumber, but had enough septic issues at the home I grew up in to know that when you have an ongoing issue where the smell just won't stay away, it's going to be expensive and exhausting to fix.

The plumbing in West isn’t the problem.

Are you sure you weren't just walking behind someone that had a big bowl of chili? I have gone there many, many times and have never ever been able to smell anything like that. I did smell rotting garbage in MK during the 90's though. Wait, maybe you guys were walking next to a turkey leg kiosk.

I saw someone mentioned earlier that the tombstones were moved to another place outside the gates. Does anyone have a picture of where they were moved too? Are they in a foot traffic path? Does anyone know if these will be eventually moved back inside the gates (in a completely different area)? Thanks for any info :happy:

The monuments themselves were destroyed. The images that were on them will be displayed somewhere outside the gates of the park, but we don’t know exactly where or in what fashion, except that it likely won’t be on the original metal plates.

The faces will be relocated outside the gates somewhere. As to where, no one has said. The monoliths aren't being moved, they're gone forever. As to what the faces will be on and how they'll be displayed, no one has said.

I'm sure. That air conditioned hallway by Club Cool STINKS. Badly. I wish I was making it up but I'm not. It's a terrible smell.

Just sitting here watching the Fountains of Nations.... from the A/C of course! So sad it's my last time seeing this in person 😔
