Forgive me if this has been addressed, but how long is the work on the stage expected to continue?

We don't have a timeline, but it seems to be moving fairly quickly. It will obviously be done by Oct 1 though.

Thanks for the info! The actual construction of the stage doesn't bother me as much as the moat being drained. I can't explain why, but the moat being drained bothers the heck out of me.

My guess would be a couple of months

Thanks! Hopefully just in time for my May vacation....because as we all know....It's ALL ABOUT ME!

Is there any possibility that we may be finally getting the fountains that were designed for us and then sent to Paris??
They add so much to their Castle show...

The last thing they need to do is create even more of a need to be in the Hub for fireworks.

 

[Bocabear]

What a great argument for them to spend less money! Do you work in TDO accounting? LOL

Um....wood? Is anyone concerned about the subfloor rotting too quickly? I assume this area is sloped to the front of the stage since the sleepers are running that direction, but this may cause the stage to need replaced every couple of years.

I wish. It would add a lot. @marni1971 had said it was considered awhile back. Some say there doesn’t need to be any further draw to the hub or castle, some say it’s to cluttered already, but honestly I don’t feel fountains would cause that much more of a draw to the hub any more than it already is.

Slightly off subject, and I’m not sure if it’s possible, but maybe adding fountains and mist screens to Frontierland? Projections to the back of the castle? Additional lighting effects park wide? That may help spread out guests.

You would keep it as wood, you want the stage to have some give for the dancers. A sprung floor of sorts, or else you can wreck knees.

Nothing new here.

That looks like pressure treated lumber.... No rotting there.

Also, with the notches, it looks like the PEX tubing is coming back.

Fountains in the Castle Moat would not attract more visitors, but would allow a better, wider show...

Have a feeling the stage is coming back as it was with those arches. I’d love to be wrong though.

Sure it will, the anchors are being incorporated in the new structure

I was hoping the castle stage would have a lift where the characters would pop up like the ones they have at Shanghai but I guess it's too low for that.
