Main Street Fountain Removal

[JoeCamel]

So they announced first aid is closing for refurb. Seems like the gate will be involved

 

[JoeCamel]

That won’t happen. Nor is it needed.

In the event that medical assistance is required, guests will now be directed to second aid, currently located on the north side of Rivers of America, between Big Thunder Mountain Railroad and Haunted Mansion.

It’s a move for a refurb. Not a permenant relocation. Serious cases can still access the original facility.

An original facility that when opened had a 24 bed ward, a 4 bed ward, and 4 single bed treatment rooms. There’s a fun fact for you.

I could see many, many years down the road, there being three Main Streets, store fronts and all...

Sadly yes.

All selling identical merchandise found the World over.

I will be a little upset if it happens but not surprised.

perhaps i'm being overly harsh...
but that just made me think of disney springs as a few main streets and little else.

So maybe the fountain removal was in fact meant to be for a new bypass...just 3 years late

Hopefully, it is permanent like Paris and not like the Eastern Bypass. Perhaps I am being a little too optimistic.

They really should be working on the tunnels while the railroad is down... that area has become a severe choke point at park exit thanks to no night parade and shorter park hours.

It would most likely be similar to what the other side of Main Street has now.

The beautiful, but practical Paris arcades will never be done again. Disneyland in California was fine with just plain fencing for their bypass.

As long as the bypass is open throughout the day even when the parks are slow I see it as a win. If the Mainstreet Theather didn't get slashed the bypass would be open throughout the day, which is one of the biggest losses of the project getting axed.

Not necessarily.

Wild guess is this will be up to the Disneyland standard.

Feel like the days of MK being slow are long gone. I would love to have both sides open all the time so you easily walk down Main Street without someone stopping right in front of you to turn around a take a picture. I get that 60% of the people it is the first time ever seeing the castle and Main Street but the crowds are getting really bad and it is very congested all day long. A full time bypass would be welcomed.

So more like this (Disneyland):

Or this (Magic Kingdom):

And less like this? (Disneyland Paris):

Curse you @Eddie Sotto for giving us a taste of water whilst we remain chained in hell!

Maybe they’ll finally give some theming to the back side of those buildings. Always hated the view coming from Adventureland towards the Crystal Palace.

Water? That's some fine wine.

While understandable, I guess, it's disappointing to hear they are going the cheap route here. Having seen the DLP ones recently, they are quite stunning! Having them come to MK in some format would be magical.

There’s no need. It’s always sunny and pleasant in Central Florida while Paris gets a danger(eux) dusting of snow like twice a year which requires covered walkways. Thank goodness we don’t have to contend with the notoriously-awful Western European weather in Florida.
