There is plenty of time to do that before it becomes a problem, however, they will take it down when the mood hits them. No need to speculate. If you look up some day and it is gone then they either took it down or a tornado took it to Oz.

Would that be Frank Oz?

I agree about the old Fantasyland tent facades as I truly hate them, but the balloon may have an awkward site line, as well as the fact that their trying to make the rest of the land fit in with the remaining SOA facade.

Well the land was considered part of SOA so why change it now. Are you sure that the remaining facade isn't coming down at some point? Maybe SWL sightlines are the real reason behind the removal.

The balloon would be visible from starwars land which is presumably why it's being removed. Additionally it makes more sense to do it now while they have easy access from the former SOA area rather than tying to wiggle a crane into muppets courtyard later.

Just what I thought, but it still sucks. You'd think they'd find another way around it given the large scale of the land's buildings.

I know that this is said to be a temporary change, but it still concerns me given TDO's track record with fountains.

The fire escapes were all removed from that façade, but then some of them were put back on. This leads me to believe it is staying.

Why not? The place had to be named after somebody.

1. When did the fountain become a planter? Did I miss this?
2. Is there talk of flat rides being added to this area?

I'm still surprised and sad that the new Muppets show got canceled when this new area was being refurbished. Seems like an odd choice....

This better be a temporary thing.

Within the past week or so. I saw on another site that this is supposed to be temporary while they re-route water lines in that area.

I don't believe there are any new attractions planned for the area.

Thanks for the good speculation.

I hope they add something similar to this kind of aspect

Do we really need another Dumbo type ride in a third park? Don't answer that.

Yeah, I sorta figured that part out myself.

It should be, if they're saying so. Remember the Land sign that went away in April and came back in May?
Came back better than ever!

That is hideous.

That is hideous.

As long as it is short term I think it looks better then the fountain would look without water.

I'd be more partial to construction walls myself, but I agree with you.
