It absolutely did and its entirely Disney's fault for not updating and maintaing the attraction.Disneyquest didn't deserve this.

When you're the leader, you don't have to follow.
Agreed. The first time we went there with our boys in 2003, we were blown away. Subsequent years, not so much.

Well I meant for the deconstruction. The building had a ton of room in it. I'm sure nba experience could have fit and used the building space well. Heck even if it wasn't nba, some big experience would have fit well in there. But for some reason, demolition was the way to go for disney. So much wasted potential lost there.

It was a box. A big, plain box.

I assume lines for cutting using a concrete saw.

It's just an alignment mark for where the scaffolding will wrap the building. That's what all the little square holes are for as well. They will be tying the scaffolding into the structure of the building. Why they are going to all this trouble is beyond me though as I was of the understanding that the entire building was going to be demolished.

Looks like the same approach they took with the Jack Sparrow building in DHS. Wrap it in scaffolding and then cut it apart piece by piece.

I kind of thought they'd just be retrofitting the old building with a new design, but it's actually a full tear down and new build? Wow.
Some photos from today of the demo

They walkway with guests in place is 10 ft from the demolition site. They are starting from the backside and working towards the front. I Imagine the final front will probably come down in an overnight session without guests in the area.

why didn't they keep that cool telescope like decoration? That was one of my favorite decorations in the park. Could have easily fit in epcot or tomorrowland.

speaking of the "telescope", here's another example of the concept art being better than the final product
