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

[JoeCamel]

I was in the Hub today and they have certainly accomplished the goal of better flow. Lots of paths but if they are going to try to keep people from camping out on them during fireworks and wishes then they have lost capacity. If they just let people camp on some of them and put only fastpass in the holding pens then they have lost capacity.

What is up with the missing two planters on the south side of the Partner's statue? Think they will come back or is it to be an open space of concrete? Only the two on the north side are still there.

Those are just temporary, especially since they're red pavement. All the red pavement will be going away. Also, check the rendering from Disney. They'll definitely be back at some point.

But but... I wouldn't be able to see stranger's faces projected on the castle before the fireworks!!

You know, they could use inflatable ballons next to the castle, like they do in fantasmic in Disney Sea.

 

[Brian]

Do you mind?

It was a very hi tech system that imported photos shot at Disneyland on the same day to project in Orlando when they couldn't get enough faces on any particular day.

Wait, really?

Has this been confirmed? I know it has been speculated here but I have not seen any confirmation. Not doubting just want to see if I missed something!

Um...this isn't new information. The rendering and video from Disney has been out forever. Do you really think they'd keep half of the central hub area red pavement and half beige as it exists now? That doesn't make any sense.

No I thought you ment the rest of main street. Like ALL the red concrete in the park. I understand that the rest of the hub will be replaced.

I was replying to the member who asked specifically about the two planters in the central hub that have been paved over and if they were coming back or not.

Yes. It's TDO.

How many mega pixels is your camera! The detail is amazing!

How soon till we see a new one of these with the current progress?

How many WDWMagic members will now immediately check to see if the fake grass burns them when they see the new hub for the first time?

*raises hand*

I will check everything against the alternative - being at work! I will love everything at DW, and my smile will only diminish on check out day.

I must admit that I sat down on it and touched the grass last Sunday when I was there. LOL.

Of course I'd much prefer something like this (I've been championing it for a while), but I'm thinking as realistically as possible.

I don't think there's anything unrealistic about the picture I linked to. It wouldn't block views, save for being RIGHT in top of the hub and not IN the Hub.

 

[DisneyGentleman]

Wait, really?

Yep, it's some newfangled thing called InstantGram, or something like that.

I can't tell if you and @marni1971 are being sarcastic. Curse you, internet!

 

[DisneyGentleman]

Trust me, I ooze with sarcasm.

But in all honesty, I do it to lighten up the place, not to be mean.

Nope. Not me.
