Live Hub Construction Report?

[Belle61513]

Anyone there and want to send some quick hub pics?
Curious where they are with everything!

 

[Babsy]

Or is there a link to info/photos?

Please?

I think Robo would best be able to provide that info.................Where oh where are you Robo? LOL

Thanks for the vote of confidence, soar, but on the latest construction, I'm out-of-the-loop.
Sorry.

The OP has the right idea.
We need the report of someone who is there now (or within the last week) and, even better, has snapped some pix.

I was there about a week and a half ago.

Here's what the hub/partners statue looked like. It was boxed up with an outer wall around it with some torn up concrete. Looked like a water pipe had burst or there was some sort of pipe work being done

What's the plan? When it is scheduled to be completed?

New castle turuts are a little father along as of earlier this week. I'll grab some new pics as soon as I can and post them on this thread.

The reason nobody is giving a completion date is that it has not been formally announced.
The last we heard any vague date it was "late 2014."

That may have changed by now.

BTW, what is "open" and what is "closed" can change as the construction continues.
That has been the case so far.

What is the point of these castle turrets?

Faux cannon fire like on pirates?

lol, that would be cool ... I would think they are just for "looks" like the new castle like facades in Fantasyland. Although I'm sure they may also include effects housing for light shows, music, etc. on the castle itself perhaps?

Screen grab from Disney video ... You can see where the turrets will be.

I'm pretty sure the turrets are new sound, lighting, and projection booths.
