Still no sword though. I guess if they were going to remove it completely they would have reworked that area to remove the stone as well.

How old is the carousel itself? Starting to wonder if they are using the scrim to just protect it from the elements.

Maybe people complained they were getting sunburned while on the ride...

Next thing ya know will be people complaining about being h2o intolerant and are handed life jackets as they get on IASW.

I walked by and didn’t even notice.

 

[Disney Analyst]

Anyone know how or why this took so long?

Don't give 'em any thoughts, I'm sure this isn't too far away from happening..

It’s an (early) Christmas miracle!

ok...who is going to handle the before and after shots?

Before is from Trip Advisor in January 2017, I slightly desaturated it as it looked like whoever posted it had boosted it quite a bit.

Let's just hope all the popcorn lights work. Sometimes refurbs leave you wanting a bit more lately. Like Tomorrowland Rockwork and Emporium Exterior Painting.

It looks like they tried to make the artwork above the horses more visible by removing the green banners. But between that and an updated paint scheme up top, it doesn't look a whole lot different.

I think I can sum up everyone's reactions in saying:

It looks great but why the in the world did it take so long to do THAT?

Green banners?

Green banners?

Maroon.

Maroon.

Well, look at that. They are maroon. Color blindness strikes again

Since the constant presence of scrims and construction walls seem to be the rule now, rather than the exception, in the parks, I'm always happy when one goes away. The worst ones, for me, are the ones that go up on Main Street that have the painted facades on them. I suppose it's better than blank ones, but it still looks so tacky to me. They're a necessary evil, I suppose, but I really don't remember then being so prevalent in the past.

Maybe I have bad luck/timing, but I've yet to see Main Street without a major scrim in place. That's across 5 different trips in 3 years. It's hard to imagine it without scrims at this point.

There was a time when there was nary a scrim on Main Street, BUT, the condition of Main Street was terrible. It now seems to be the opposite.....a constant rotation of building facades being cared for. I'd opt for this latter cycle, than the non-cycle MS was in for years
