A contractor broke a piece of glass so big that they can't get a new one into the building. Also the glass has a 6 week lead time
The real problem is the building was built around the glass. So the building will either have to be deconstructed to get the piece of glass in place, or they will need to put a scrim with a disco light to make it look better without the glass.

I don’t believe the glass was installed through the roof or the building was built around the glass. If you look at construction photos a large opening was left in the curved “cinder block” wall that was later filled in with steel studs. That is likely how the glass was brought inside, as we never saw the glass set up inside before the roof structure was placed. Since it is just steel stud, reopening that part of the wall will be somewhat easy but there is also now a roof access stair in front of part of that opening.

No. At Disneyland someone had a gun on the ride and shot the glass. There’s only a single hole though. It didn’t shatter. It’s covered by a small spider web that you can still look for and find to this day. I saw it on my last trip.

On the Main St to Marceline tour they told us in MK HM there is a spare piece of glass in the show building still in it's packing that has never been opened.

Its located in the space behind the doom buggy between the ballroom and the attic. (When we did a walking tour it was suprisng how much of the sets are back-to-back and how much of the show building is actually empty!)

Looks like it has been hit by a couple meteors already. ;)
