Streets of America Development Watch (no longer DEMO)

Or character meets that fit the atmosphere and make sense for the area.

Big Hero 6 is a property that could probably bridge the remaining SOA stuff with SW.

Chrysler building now removed from Streets of America at DHS. The last block and City Hall still stand.

I assume The Writer's Stop last day was yesterday?

As we suspected, one of the fire escapes did go back up, so it's pretty clear now that the façade is not coming down.

Perfect for my "agenda". I like how this is going. A lot.

Why would they take it down just to put it back up?

Just the other day, you were praising Disney for going with a blank canvas, now you are praising the decision not to go with a blank canvas.

I also thought some of the structures would be reskinned but that is clearly not the case. It appears they thought it better to go with a blank canvas. The Disney Difference.

Part of the backstage tour walkway was removed when constructing TSMM towards the middle, but what would have happened if you walked across tour bridge 1? Did they use it for a long storage closet? Did the windows into the soundstage still exist? It's fascinating

 

[danlb_2000]

Maybe bioreconstruct accidently posted an old picture and the other one I posted was them taking down the last piece instead of putting it back up.

So it looks like the section as removed and then re-installed.

Wow! Just Wow! The view will never be the same again when I go next spring.

Help me out. Why save just that one section? What's the plan for it?

Your asking the wrong person.

Just the other day, you were praising Disney for going with a blank canvas, now you are praising the decision not to go with a blank canvas.

Sometimes it is better to start over from scratch and sometimes not. All of the old studio tour infrastructure needed to go if possible. Keeping this section of facades will soon make sense. Clearly demonstrated by the reimagined "Muppet Square". I am already three moves ahead. It's a gift.

 

[jt04]

Your asking the wrong person.

I will be disappointed otherwise.

PS- between bioreconstruct and wdwtraveler we have it made in the shades.

 

[Marty Rotondo]

I'm assuming it was just being repaired and refurbished.

Maybe if its all new pieces. I cant imagine them taking down a whole fire escape in pieces to be refurbished. And if its a mistake thats kind of a big one. Just odd

 

[HauntedMansionFLA]

Your asking the wrong person.

Not trolling here, does the facade match up with the Muppets theme in that area? I haven't been to DHS for alittle while and trying to picture the area. Can there be alittle Muppets theme be splashed on the facade to help make the area feel like a Muppets Mini-land? Can anyone help me out?
