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

[lazyboy97o]

This! So much yes! If more of this didn't happen, you would be inside these places not noticing light poles, trees, or benches! The light posts don't bother me, they do their light post things I do mine and they don't get in my way, so o don't get in theirs!

Lighting is designed, just like attractions. Light fixtures are designed, just like attractions.

Quite a temporary setup for Not-So-Scary.

Disney did listen to the complaints here: It's Retractable Lighting! LOL
Now how do you feel about those poles?

Took that this morning, when I went past a few hours later they had taken the ropes away.

Hmm, I wonder why they had it roped off? It was fully open last night during the Halloween party.

For those who went to MNSSHP last night, Are they using the new hub light towers? Color changing mode?

I think they had signs on the ropes saying wet paint

 

[myhappyplace]

Yes it did say wet paint.

How's the hub looking this week? Any concrete laid over the rebar on the one ramp yet?

East ramp has concrete all the way down to just a couple of inches above where it will connect to the ground. Still need to pour the new concrete at the ground level to replace the old red concrete. Couldn't get any pictures but there is still work to do on the low walls on the ramp.

The west ramp is still dirt.

that looks really tacky.

It's nothing compared to Universal during the day before HHN starts.

It does, but surprisingly not much more than the stage already does.

I don't love it, but I really really like it. I'll decide how I really feel once I see it in person.

btw the west turret started going up first so I suspect that turret should be unveiled in the next day or two as well.

Looking good!

It's nice to see the project near completion.

Hmm, is it possible these new turrets will get the dreamlights this year?

I would doubt it, since they're so close to the guest level, so it would be easier to see the netting, and possibly touch it.

True. However last year they had lights on the bushes, that were in the hub.

Well, I redact that statement then.

The new tech booths for the stage are on top of the pavilions, right? Is there still a plan to have stage lights & follow spots rise out of these booths? Or are the lights somehow built into the new turrets?

I assume that the temporary truss is there because all of the stage's front lights were removed during the renovation.
