Ok, as promised, I took some photos of the hub construction yesterday when I was there for my birthday - including this spot for you!
So you're good to go!!
There were also some people wondering if you could see it from Main Street. Here's a view from the Train Station:
It's not until you get further down to the end of Main Street that you start seeing the walls.
The Swan Boat dock is completely gone and the area is landscaped again:
There's just a new section of railing where it used to be:
And here's a quick shot taken from the PeopleMover looking down at the chaos behind the walls:
A side note: I presume that it's because of the standing water/draining water going on but the ENTIRE HUB (including the bridges from Tomorrowland and between the Castle and Cosmic Rays plus the Rose Garden) were COVERED in SWARMS of noseeums/gnats. I mean TENS OF THOUSANDS of them swarmed every inch at dusk and everyone was swatting at their faces and running to get past the swarms. It's terrible. Disney really needs to do something about it.
Anyway, that's a peek as of yesterday!

Um...I'm trying to remember now but I don't think so. The wall is the most noticable, running along the expanded outside seating area of Casey's all the way down towards Crystal Palace and on the other side, all past the Ice Cream Parlor, and the side of the Plaza towards the Noodle Terrace. It's just a wall of mostly unbroken green walls. But if you're not immediately in those areas - say you're in the Hub proper by the Partner's Statue, or even the other bridges into Fantasyland, Liberty Square or Tomorrowland, it's surprisingly not as noticeable as you'd think.
Yeah it's baaad. Here's a cropped shot of the old Swan Boat dock to give you an idea:
All current rumors point to no replacement for now. Everything behind Pixie Hollow is rotted and the inside basically needs to be gutted and rebuilt.
a long time, makes me wonder if there will be also utilitors build below or something.
It makes me wonder.. why everything is built so slowly now?Look how long it took them to build a simple bus terminal that was 'fast tracked'
Sorry for replying to a months-old post but you have been warned:Splash Mountain down and Swan Boats out of action at the same time...
most trees too.
