Scenes From Hollywood

Rapunzel, Rapunzel, Let Down Your Charmin!

Today we'll take a look at, as their called on the interwebz, the Tangled Toilets.  The restrooms fill in the western edge of Fantasyland in the location of the former Skyway Station and form the new transition to Liberty Square near the Haunted Mansion.  A lot has been written about how the tower intrudes on the sight lines of Liberty Square.  The worst part for me, aside from the loss of the Skyway Station and gardens, is the proximity of the new walkway to the Haunted Mansion.  This has been discussed at length as well but it is one more thing that takes the formerly remote and forboding Mansion and puts it right in the middle of everything.  There's no approach to build anticipation anymore.  It's like "Whoop, there it is!"

Now Arriving!  Frontierland Station!

Good, they've got my luggage.

The Roger E. Broggie pulls into the station (and right on time)!

Please place all carry-ons in the overhead bins.

Just stumbled across this 2011 shot of the old Keel Boat dock, Yankee Trader, and now gone forested hill separating them from the Haunted Mansion.
