The whole message is: We need to keep you on your feet and doing something (spending money) at all times!
I thought the message was, "We're doing so well that we're swamped with twice the number of people than this park was built for and even steep price hikes won't keep them away, and so, we have to keep making more and more room for them."

The tress also hid some of the floats for the daytime and nighttime parades (Especially during the 1990s).

The berm will probably have a big sign saying something along the lines of "Welcome to Disney's Magic Kingdom!" This way, people from the monorail will know what park they will be at.
I dare say it's both, really. Obviously the hub redesign was to increase traffic flow and crowd handling for the shows and fireworks. Benches can cause... Issues with people trying to "reserve" them, congregating around them, yada yada. But the WHOLE park suffers from this - not just the hub.
Maybe the berm project is to set up a ton of benches and people can go chill out over there under some trees.

The obvious answer is to fill the hub with bleachers. That will handle the crowds, bring back bench seating, and block the view of the Contemporary from Liberty Square.
Or, the answer is in my sig below...

That has never really bugged me. After all, you're entering Tomorrowland. You don't see the Contemporary until after you pass Space Mountain. Perfectly reasonable that the view would open up at that point to see the Contemporary.

Two different things. I said it bugged me when you see backstage from the train (CM parking, dumpsters, etc). The contemporary from the train in Tomorrowland is different. I 100% agree with you on your point l, not sure why you quoted me?

Casey's Corner, the Astro turf grass, the music all they need is a baseball field with bleachers. They already have a G.O.A.T statue (since 1995) like a real sports stadium. The modern skyboxes can go on the Tomorrowland side.

BTDT. After all, isn't that where they put the infamous "Cabana Experiment"?
Just to throw another log on this fire...

The pond is being dug deeper and longer/wider. Once they are done with this terraced wall they will dig out the pond more. When complete it will make more sense.Just to throw another log on this fire...

Almost every post I read of yours is straight fire. I’m not kidding, you genuinely make me laugh almost every time. Thank you for your services.
Here's the water management site plan. The wavy retaining walls and the gradient of the land around the expanded pond are quite discernible.
Yeah, that's definitely clearer. And if you look at the height variations of the built walls, you can see how the fill will undulate. Still, it seems a bit odd. Guess we'll find out pretty soon!

I thought the terraces were so they could add the primeval world diorama like DL has?

What exactly seems odd?
The gradient of the drop seems pretty steep, raised pond level or not. I guess that's why they needed the retaining walls. Still, I think they could've extended south and not cut in as deeply.

Aw shucks..... I was hoping it was going to be an expansion of the Speedway.

It is! They're going to call it "The Thelma and Louise Liberation Experience" and it's an additional $2,855 per person (theme park admission required) because each car can go off the edge only once. (They can reuse the body, but the engine is usually kaput after hitting the water running)Aw shucks..... I was hoping it was going to be an expansion of the Speedway.
