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

[ToTBellHop]

In a way, you're all correct. Repetition is a very common comedic technique. In fact, some things wouldn't be funny at all without the repetition. However, it can be especially annoying if it does not tickle one's funny bone. As a result it can lead to direct antagonism. Mr. Navigator is legitimately annoyed at Mr. Crowner's joke, but Mr. Crowner's joke relies on the repetition and the fact it is supposed to be inherently annoying. So, I suppose, the solution in this case would be to scan or just skip any post of Mr. Crowner's if you are Mr. Navigator.

But I can't because Mr. Crowner harasses me with this "humor" when I am busy not working at my place of work! If you found Dane Cook's humor to be less than humorous, could you ignore him if he kept appearing over the stall door in the restroom?

Or, you know, you could just avail yourself of the "ignore" feature.
It works wonders.

This was pretty humorous.

Any updated pictures? How is the central Hub progressing around Walt and Mickey?

I didn't take any pictures, but I was just there this past thursday, and out of the four flower areas surronding Walt & Mickey one of them was open. The Castle Turrets are still in the same stage they were, covered by a fabric that looks like a tree, and the taller things are covered in black tarp.

Is that all the new tree's we are going to get?

I won't speak for other people, my post was a joke, hence the winking eye.

Still kinda waiting for those lovely pink patterned flowers to show up...

To be fair, the horticulture team does do an amazing job in the perimeters they are given and seem to update planters often.

I'm still hoping they remove the ugly lighting towers in front of the gardens. The video shows the hub without them, and it does so much to improve the look of the area.

That's why I have never understood why people are trashing the area, when they are not done with it.

They're not removing the lights and they are in the video.

I didn't mean the lights with the speakers built in, I meant the big ones on the black poles. Which one were you referring to?
EDIT:
Okay, I see the big black lighting poles are in the east planters, just not in front of the fountains, of which I was referring to.

You're right...they are. Wow.

Though, the Tokyo observation many made is valid.

I still think this one wins the cake.

“They paved paradise and put up a parking lot.”

That said, I actually support the Hub overhaul so far, and will reserve judgement to when I can see it in person.

Bravo.

Because the sight lines are horrid.

They go to the effort to deforest the area in the past 12 years and replace the trees with giant light poles that also get in the way much the same way as the trees did.

After seeing the offending rigs in person last week, I have to believe that they are temporary in at least some respects. That level of visibly shoddy installation, including the cable runs and utility boxes, would be inexcusable for a Cedar Fair or Six Flags park. The poles themselves look to be permanent, but the tech work at the top *has* to be redressed or at least cleaned up before the project is complete. Right? RIGHT?

This is WDW that tech work is PERMANENT, It's been a long time since WDW cared about sightlines etc.
