That doesn't necessarily mean the land wasn't open yet, though.
More and more frequently, this outside work in front of the public seems to be becoming a more commonly acceptable thing by management in the parks so I'd hardly have been shocked.
Only reason I asked was there's kind of a difference between being able to spot something you're looking for in the distance of a closed-off area behind the Disney construction walls and something being done in a normal viewable area.
I recall people riding old Dumbo specifically to try to get pictures over the construction walls when NFL was being built (to post them here!), for instance and I recognize that there comes a limit to what can and can't be done.
Anyway, not terribly shocking either way as the direction of the leadership over these parks was already failing when it comes to traditional levels of quality at this point under the management attitude that has only intensified in recent years.
... but I guess we are starting to reach a point where the people in power have been their long enough that a whole newer audience probably sees this all as normal and acceptable now.

The lower section is being prepped.
And we have what looks like a primer on the pipework. Other sections were done in this prior to being painted black.

I have got to get a set of these when they come out as collectibles. The full set of 5 unique ones, not just the portal plus 4 duplicate barges.
I'll be the envy of ....
uh, nobody.
Might as well make them out of die cast metal so they sink in the tub when kids go to play with them too.

Paint a target on the side and put some torpedo launchers onto the Friendship boats. We'd get a unique piece of entertainment. The budget might be a little higher though.progress from today

I believe black. But I think the painted surface is going to be more durable than whatever finish (or lack of), is currently there.
Either way, Intex coatings, who I think are doing this, are doing very well out of paint jobs recently!

Mildew green or spring leaf green?

Thank you for the precise response. No, seriously, even though I was being facetious.
There is no black paint on earth that can resist the fading power of the Florida sun.
BUT, paint lets them keep repainting it .

Remember all those years we complained about the Fountain of Nations stage, Pin Trading canopies and Leave a Legacy? Yeah I’ll take all of that back to have these barges off of the lake.
Not saying they will keep repainting it (looking at Space Mountain roof etc.), but they have the potential to do that.My lack of faith in park operations is impressive.
I wonder if the phrase "too big to fail" were ever thrown around during design and construction?
I'm curious to see if we find out how difficult they are to replace. My experience is very limited with LED walls/screens. But in that limited experience replacement in some of the locations I've seen dead pixels could be troublesome. I'd hope that maintenance was a design consideration, but it wouldn't be the first time if it wasn't.
