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

[Bolt]

I'll be in my room crying tears of pain that the light posts are permanent.

If that's your worst problem in life, you have a good life.

True. True.

looking at those renderings and realizing that 80% of the hub area is pavement, is disgusting.

Thank you for this. I was sitting in the west garden, went to get food at Casey's, and when I came back, I saw a bunch of people in business attire in the area and was wondering what they were up to. I saw them holding some boards but only from the back.

Can't tell, but are the arches still on the castle stage in the rendering?

Sure doesn't look like it.

They're definitely visible if you bump up the saturation in the first image.

I love it. I'm gonna grab me a spot just to the left or right from behind one of the two fountains. No one in front of me and no light poles.

And trees. Can everyone be a little happier?

I'm hopeful we won't have to exit behind the backstage now after and during fireworks- but guessing we still will as Main Street will be the cog.

We always knew more trees were coming to the outer areas of the hub, the problem I and many others have are the central hub trees.

At the very least the trees that go in the central hub section should be the size of those at Disneyland, which would make it look similar to the mockup I did a while back:

For comparison to what we have now and will continue to have:

Sadly yes.

I don't think the stage will change much at all.

It'll still look like a tacky mess.

I like it also, I think the new turrets make the castle look more regal. Instead of just one big slab of concrete we get a design that fits , IMHO.

Cinderella Castle is modeled incorrectly. That's awkward.

Glad I'm not the only one who was bothered by that.

Added some #hubtrees....small like Disneyland to help give guests shade and help push the castle farther away....LIKE IT WAS SUPPOSED TO LOOK.

I think @WDW1974 would be proud.

I don't know how I feel about the Frozen-esque drapes adorning the new towers...
