It looks so barren there. I liked it more with the trees. Every day it seems the MK is looking more like Six Flags and less compariable to other disney parks and BGW.

I really hope they plant lots of trees like the models.

Let them finish....

 

[Brian Noble]

No kidding. There's no reason to freak out about the lack of trees in/open sight lines through an active construction area...

They just finished clearing it out and started construction, of course it is going to look barren. Do you honestly think that they won't put any foliage back in there? The mentality that I see from so many on these boards sometimes is astounding! If Disney has become such a horrible place and is so far down the tubes then find something else to love and leave the scene

I think people are more concerned that it will go like this:

And yes--people did used to dress like that.

I'm still on the very empty bandwagon that appreciates their tactical removal of trees in some areas. We're all arguing about sight lines, and that works both ways. There are phenomenal pieces of architecture that are meant to be seen at all times - like the castle. I like to walk around the train station and see that majestic landmark staring me down...and growing in size as I walk north.

Now, back in the lands, where you need to feel immersed in a theme, or if they need to hide show buildings, literal forests are a must. But in my personal opinion, trees are not necessary everywhere.

I'm on that bandwagon. While I do miss a few tall trees in Town Square and down Main Street, the clearing of the Hub looks far better to me. Just makes it look more majestic and less overgrown.

I don't think that bandwagon is so empty, it just has well oiled wheels that dont screech as it rolls sown Main Street. I am with you.

 

[djkidkaz]

Yep its way better without all the trees in my opinion as well.

 

[aladdin2007]

Have to disagree, it was beautiful with all the trees and the twinkling lights. Now its all barren concrete and flat. Yes you can see the whole castle now which is nice, but still.

I agree with your disagreement...it was definitely more magical with the trees and twinkling lights.

 

[ToTBellHop]

That's what I miss most. I understand taking out trees that had become overgrown and putting new smaller ones in, but I miss the twinkling lights and the trees they put in are SO much smaller than the old ones.

I'm really looking forward to this new pathway, especially if the rumors of a Tangled theme (with M & G, tower, etc.) are true!! One question which is probably over asked, sorry -- So after this new path opens, with the current one under Columbia Harbor House be blocked off/closed in?

Also, I really like less tree in the hub. It's extremely cool to look back on that and see what it was like (and in some areas, more trees looked better), but with the hub and castle and the sightline from Main Street, less trees = more magical.

Columbia Harbour House path will remain. This new path is being done to take pressure off that existing (narrow) pathway between LS and FL and prevent the area from becoming too much of a choke point.

And put me on the tree bandwagon. Doesn't need to be a forest, but the hub and Town Square need their trees back.

I will jump on the wagon also....what was not taken into account back when they first opened was the huge parades and nigthtime castle shows. The trees would have blocked many sightlines and would have made that area more congested.

Someone should have told you that logic and reason are not allowed. All change is bad.:lol:

 

[GLaDOS]

Some trees should have been cut down, but the slash and burn we've seen has gone a bit overboard, personally. The hub is oppressively hot, and could use some more foliage.

It won't happen, but it would make the place look nicer.

It's a hard balance to find though - in Disneyland there seems to be more trees, but less visibility for fireworks.
