The Land Escalator Replacement?

Well, I'll go ahead and be the one who post the pics of an escalator replacement. It's not a simple repair by the looks of things, but a whole rip out and replace sorta deal. The "down" escalator is completely ripped out. The "up" escalator was still running as usual today.

Also worth noting is the alternate entrance/exit they have set up for the pavilion near Soarin, on the ground floor. The doors that lead backstage near the restrooms at the Soarin entrance are open and you can walk backstage along the building to the right side of the Imagination pavilion where it goes back into the park. A CM explained to me it was being used as an alternate because of the escalator replacement.
I spy a coordinator.

In all seriousness thanks for posting this. I'm guessing its about three months per escalator. When they finish this one, the next will be dealt with. Also, this probably doesn't need to be said, but all work on this is being done during third shift.
