What is up with this image? I have never noticed the backs of the Main Street buildings being so prominent before. Looks really bad

"TheDisneyBlog.com said a single construction worker was in the area"

And this is why everything takes so long to construct these days at Disney.

I think in the Hub thread someone was talking about how several large trees that were right behind the wall backstage had been cut down, exposing that ugly corner to public, on-stage view.

Yep. There used to be some trees and foliage that helped to hide that backstage wall, but its always been fairly noticeable for anyone who walked by. Remains to be seen if the new overflow pathway will finally give the area some proper theming.

Looks like total crap. That was always a weak spot, but they killed a decades long tree there to make way for their new backstage walkway and now you see how ugly the back of MSUSA is ... please point this out to the fanbois who rip UNI for not living up to Disney's standards of hiding showbuildings and backstage areas ... something Disney gave up doing a long, long time ago.

Looks like a controlled burn to me...

Yep, all those tree they are cutting down had a purpose.

Somethings wouldn't be the same if they were removed.

This show building issue is butt ugly, I have never seen the MK look worse. People running this park are clueless, and the place just seems like a mess right now.

This is quite upsetting. That fire is nowhere near Stitch's Great Escape!

Thankfully it was not the Tiki gods as we all know what happened last time they got angry.

That looks absolutely atrocious.

I really hope TDO get their act together.

 

[wdw71fan]

The fire was due to the exhaust from the pump being too close to the screening on the fence....

Even though it'll only be temporary while they theme that backstage area for the bypass, its completely unacceptable. For those folks who don't know what backstage Disney looks like, this will be a harsh reality for them;

"Wait, Main Street's buildings are just fake facade fronts?"
