I'd like to see the entire main walkway ripped up and redone with brick like HKDL...it looks so much nicer than what we've got.

In an old video I saw in the background that a guy was painting a storefront on Main Street USA in an old school painters uniform, a small portion was being worked on with no scrim set up. They should have a couple handymen for each park that are payed by the hour tend to small repairs instantly to avoid bigger problems and big restorations

In an old video I saw in the background that a guy was painting a storefront on Main Street USA in an old school painters uniform, they were also doing some repair work out in the open with no scrims set up. I wish they would still work like that, anything to avoid the scrims on Main Street. A real town wouldn't have them over a store front.

That was just paint work though. This was rip all the wood off and put brand new wood on. They needed to do it due to the weather in Florida. Humidity isn't good to wood over time.

Exactly. They still do some painting and minor repair work out in the open (although there are people on here who say that is terrible and never happened in the past.) However this was far more than that. Without the scrims guests would have been seeing the buildings of main street down to bare steel and concrete.

And my favorite, when it is all done no matter which school of thought they employ the response is always that this is what they should have done in the first place. And TDO is still cheap.

Then you should avoid mirrors.

So is MS-USA finished now, or are they going to get rid of the east alley and turn that side of the street into one long connected row of shops like what was done on the west side of Main Street? I thought there was talk of that happening

glad they're finished for the time being though, looks good "scrim-free"

 

[ebof1023]

going next week, you guys think they will be down by then?

 

[Merlin0402]

Are there any facades remaining that haven't been rebuilt now? Or are they finally done?

 

[GLaDOS]

They look great...but I'll hold my celebration until they give attractions the work they need.

Looking very nice! Can't wait to have a scrim-less Main Street!

I wouldn't see why they would cover the East Alley up with a new building when they just refurbed (or restored) it.

Will the work on the pavements be extensive and throughout the day or easy fixes mostly done at night??

Agree 100%. Disneyland Paris also has a lovely brick/cobblestone main walkway (and includes the horse car track unlike HKDL). Would love to see that happen at WDW-

I wonder how much it would cost and how long it would take to get this done
