New Main Street U.S.A bypass to be built to address entry and exit congestion at the Magic Kingdom

Cough, something with a little more detail. That one is great and well done. The site does not seem to allow you to zoom in.

Ride systems are proprietary, so you're not likely to find much in that regard readily available on the internets. The construction documents for a lot of the buildings and other structures (that aren't considered ride systems) on WDW property are submitted for permitting (although the code authority is also owned by Disney), so some of those drawings show up from time to time.

There was a fairly interesting article published about Spaceship Earth when it was constructed, which had some conceptual drawings showing how the sphere was constructed, etc. Unfortunately, the only drawings of rides you are likely to find lying around the web are of the "fan produced" variety - at least in my experience.

Thanks. That is a cool article on SSE.

P.S. My favorite illustration of any ride, ever. It really makes the workings and layout of ToT crystal clear.

Ill find a higher res one.

Big enough?

Aha!

Isn't that design from a T-shirt? I swear they were selling it one day and then I never saw it again.

@marni1971 better be getting some royalty checks if so!

I was "very briefly" until Disney realized that they didn't own the artwork.

Now that I'm home and can look at things in more detail, here is a snapshot from the sheet called "Fire Truck and Crane Access Plan". The shaded areas and center-lines indicate all areas where fire trucks and cranes can enter and leave the site safely. That's all it means.

Is there any chance that they will decide to build a second bypass on the other side of Main Street?

Probably not. Parking lot is smaller, backs up to Jungle Cruise, harder to fit it in and block sight lines. This one will be sufficient.

 

[FettFan]

I bet it will be themed to the Interstate System....lots of concrete and nondescript signage.

It is too tight backstage on that side. It could mess with the parades. It would make the bottleneck at the first aid station near crystal palace so much worse.

Well if they must keep that godforsaken MiSiCi abomination, I wouldn't mind if they used that new potential entrance, as I'll have a better chance to avoid it entirely then.

I'm so with you there. MiSiCi is my least favorite thing in MK!!

there going to need all the access to the hub they can get for the hub redo, and they probably figure its best to not have to drive all the materials/cranes etc down the middle of mainstreet every night.

Is there any chance that they will decide to build a second bypass on the other side of Main Street?

initially weren't there plans to build actual streets on both sides of main street??

i seem to recall seeing that somewhere.

Probably not. Parking lot is smaller, backs up to Jungle Cruise, harder to fit it in and block sight lines. This one will be sufficient.

looks like theres definitely enough space, though it causes the same access issues to the shops/etc though where theres a will theres a way.. but if they did do it it would need to be an actual real attraction style thing.

like the arcade at disneyland paris, vs the quick fix bypass

bring back the f*cking tree.

Interesting way to bump this thread. Was wondering what happened to with this project. With all of the talk with the The Hub refurb, discussion of this disappeared. This is still happening, right?

 

[unkadug]

How about applying the artwork used for the refurbishing scrims for the front of the buildings directly onto the blank walls of the back of the buildings.

I agree. It was REALLY noticable. Moreso than I thought it would be.

Yeah true that would sure help and be better than the way it is now. Its sad that they don't care.
