Oh, okay, thank you.
Would that be something used for normal guests?

If the intent is to use it as a bypass then yes it would be used by guests.Oh, okay, thank you.

To be fair, in the wide shot, it had just finished raining.
MK could use a few more quiet yet nicely themed corners in my opinion.
It will be interesting to see if this a permanent change. I am not sure how a western bypass would work if a nighttime parade was brought back.

Mmm, perhaps I should word it better. Should be used and what would the path be taken to give the guests as little backstage viewing as possible since that's not very Disney to see backstage things. Is there a image of the one by the Buzz exit? I'm unable to look atm. Essentially, what are the logistics to turn it into a bypass? As in does anyone have an idea what it could look like? I usually lurk and I know where have good speculators here.

It will look like backstage. Parking lot. Support equipment, unthemed backsides of buildings. Basically just like the bypass on the east side before they enhanced it. They have used the bypass on the west side before. This won't be the first time.Mmm, perhaps I should word it better.

The West Side is already usuable and in use as a bypass. You emerge next to the fire station. The guests simply walk behind the Main Street stores (which, it turned out, aren't real turn of the century buildings at all!! )

I love everything about this post.
I was actually going for some Monty Python...So that's how they get their meat for the restaurants...

that area was nice for families with small children. we took the grandkids and it was a great place to calm them down on a hot day and hang out before we had our character lunch with pooh and tigger. I know they need space for fireworks viewing but they are killing the hub to make this huge open air space. ummm lets say, how about when it's too crowded at MK already, shut it down for entry and let the others stay at epcot, AK and HS to watch their night shows instead of hopping over just to see the night projection on the castle.

Is the last sentence of your post sarcasm?

One of the things that hasn’t been mentioned in this thread is that the fountain, due to it’s constrained location and size, spilled water onto the walkway if there was even a slight breeze. I’m sure the combination of that plus also being a choke point for the bypass exit spelled it’s demise.

They will probably modify/relocate First Aid to widen the gate.
That won’t happen. Nor is it needed.

And yet, fountains were opened in the hub astroturf areas and at Gaston's. And throughout property outside of the MK.
Which belies speculation that the Adventureland and other fountains have been and are being closed for environmental reasons or any other anti-fountain policy.
The big driver of change this decade at the MK seems to be operational considerations to deal with the massive crowds. This seems to drive the destruction of the hub and now its perimeter.

The issue with those fountains is how their water circulation system was constructed and a lack of desire to spend the money necessary to change it.
