I haven't checked in on this thread in quite a while and against my better judgment, I clicked on it...
<beats head on his desk> What has TDO been doing for the last several months???? </beats head on his desk>
Take a look at the construction pictures from February and compare them to the updated ones. They've moved some topsoil and started some foundations. That's bascially it.
If you ever wanted a perfect example of how little those in power in Orlando care about their resort, this is it. The world's busiest theme park, on Main Street U.S.A., at the Hub/heart of the entire park, near one of the world's most photographed spots and this is the effort that is placed on maintaining the Walt Disney legacy? What should be the crown jewel of all theme parks looks like it's a childs sandbox with Tonka trucks in it.
I know that this was a project that was supposed to last until 2015; but, I had hoped that some common sense would've prevailed at some point and they would've started pushing on this project a bit more.
This project is going to take longer to complete than all of Disneyland.
"Why" is the question that every Disney Parks fan should be shouting at the top of thier lungs?
They are filling in some moats, leveling some land, putting in a couple of planters, and adding a couple of show buildings. This isn't a year long project because of the complexity.
It's only a year long because to make it go faster would require more money spent over less fiscal quarters.
Bad form TDO, bad form. You should go stick your head in the dirt you've moved in shame.
For what it's worth, I'm intrigued by Tokyo's new nightime show and what that could mean for a new show in Orlando; but, everytime I start to get excited about the potential - I get scared by the use of more projections and spotlights as a replacement for pyro by TDO.
