Main Street U.S.A. hub redevelopment at the Magic Kingdom

[wdwmagic]

Anyone know if there will be any seating at the new viewing points at the hub?

No it is standing viewing areas.

Thanks for the info

So this basically confirms that the area they're currently working on should be open by the end of the next month. That's good news, but the process will have taken them a year.

And that means I should be on site for the switch. Yay chaos and insanity!

Think of other projects that were built there in one year. This is an embarrassment.

Nope, can't think of any.

really, can you build a house in a year if it was completely surrounded by a sheer 20' cliff that you had no access across for 12-15 hours a day, and had restrictions on how loud you could be during the day?

Let phase 2 begin! Nice to see shorter walls around the Hub to not block views of the shows.

Looks like temporary tech booths for the stage so they can start working on replacing the current booths.

There is going to be construction in one or more of the parks for the foreseeable future so there is no escaping it. I till only take away from the magic if you let it.

The nuts to butts crowding does a wonderful job of removing the magic.

How many turrets there are?

Welcome to Wall-ly World!

In the past week we have more walls in MK, DHS and AK. Walls Walls everywhere. Hopefully some of these projects get completed soon.

They should just start blasting Pink Floyd's Comfortably Numb throughout the hub.

Are they still performing the main shows on the stage in front of the castle? My guess is yes, but I'm not there.

They are. They are down for six weeks in April and May as noted by @wdwmagic last week.

What are those metal structures that are in the pictures from today? Are they temp for something or are they for the new hub area?

Rob, on the previous page mentioned could be temporary tech booth as work starts on the current ones.
