I like the openess of the fence being gone, but yes the arch needs to go,, really restrict flow of people.. Hope this year the little walk over bridge is open, or something new there to help with traffic too.;  no need to walk to the east and then come all the way back around... just get in the same flow as people coming through the ticket stands..

Are the little tree's on either side new?

They were there in September last year; not sure about before that.

See I think otherwise.  I feel they should take the bridge out and make the water feature more prevalent.

It certainly looks better for photos - which I'm sure is why they did it. I agree that there's no real loss, but as always it's hard to ignore the trend. It would have been great if they had taken the track and mine cart and put it somewhere else, but I'm sure it was falling apart.

The stone walls need to go.

I actually think it looked better having the wall behind the logo. I agree that they need to remove the rest of the brick wall. I wonder why they decided to only remove that much of the wall? I would think it would've been easier just to remove it all. What is the reason that they removed the wall? Removing it doesn't help with flow or other congestion issues.

I would disagree. Without the wall isn't there the possibility of having people in the background of the photo behind the logo? When the wall was there people didn't have to worry about anything in the background.

Kinda bizarre how they kept the archways, if they are knocking down the wall why not go all out and remove the whole thing?

Here's a picture of the tree house area. The hollow tree and bridge are gone, but he tree house platform just sitting there doesn't look very good.

Swoosh, those are some great pics of the super structure..  the close up of the different angle really bring it to life.
Looks very different from park side, rather than roadside..  I will also get some pics when I am there on the 25th.

Swoosh, thank you for the pics. Although, I think your link for the plaza is a link to the 2018 project.

I'm happy to see the Ghost Trap is still there. Not all things of the past have to be faded out!
