More a case of given the location it should have been perfect.

They don't retract, but they are temporary.

Great pic of the 2015 Big Dig project, Disney style.

Seems as if everything is wrapping up. I'd think by the end of MNSSHP it should be pretty much done.
Thankfully the hub will look beautiful for the Christmas parade this year. Last year they had to be creative with their shots and shot around it.

Hmm. I see the smaller shrubby "trees" that had been planted in each of the flower beds in the center of the hub have disappeared. Note the green box in the lower left corner in @Clamman73's panorama.

And they both are probably referring to the same thing.

To be fair with trees that big there's little to no point in keeping them.

I know the ramp on the right is a bit ahead and it's been down most of the summer, but does anyone know when work actually started on it?

there's something about the castle that just looks kind of "plonked down" like if you were creating something in rollercoaster tycoon... level land and plonk.
it may look like a castle. it just doesn't "look" like a castle though. it's fake, yes. but i think with all the levelling and concreting around it just kind of enhances the fact that it is a big 40yr old plastic castle...
maybe the ramps will help with making it not looked so plonked...

It looks like the ramp work started in late July.

Maybe for the 50th they will replace the castle with SDLs lol.

My feelings on the matter are apparent, but it's because of the fact certain things (which I shouldn't mention in fear of starting the topic again) were taken away from the central hub section.
It's a shame since the other castles are a lot more grounded and seem to fit into their environment more.
That said in general I'm impressed with the hub improvements, I just hope the central section echoes that of its former glory someday (or becomes more like its counterpart in Anaheim).

Is there anything left now besides the ramps?

The ramps, the new control towers (still behind walls) and whatever red concrete left they want to replace.

Anyone think there's a possibility they could have at least one of the ramps open within the next couple of weeks?
