Magic Kingdom Hub Update: Castle Ramps Still Closed
The major expansion project that has greatly altered the look of the central hub of the Magic Kingdom Park is almost being completed. In fact, the majority of the temporary walls that used to block the new pathways (which built on parts of the hub that were formerly occupied by plants) have now been removed.
The only walls that are now left can be found in front of the two ramps leading to Cinderella Castle, which are being completely redone. Let's take a closer look:

ReplyDeleteThat first photo of the castle, Frontierland side - very nice. something about it, just looks quite remarkable
If I may provide an outside link: I recently came across this article about the effort a concrete company went through on one of the resorts. A very complex and time consuming process.

Those signs have been in the hub for years. They have changed the fonts and the arrow graphic, though (it used to be a hand pointing).
ReplyDeleteI just love that there is still one reference to Caribbean Plaza left in the park.
