(P294) Security Overhaul at USH

[Rideguy70]

For those of you who don't have Bluesky (and you really should; Twitter is such an awful place), I'll generously share my close up pic. This was taken from behind the current chain link fence.

Panels have been getting installed at EastSide! It seems the roof paneling will be a greyish color of some kind. (Photo credit by @ethanuniversal)

From @ethanuniversal--work is advancing further on the cover pieces for the roofing as cover pieces for the pillars are being installed aswell. Additionally; fans have been turned on in Eastside.

From what it seems, Central, Eastside, and presumably Westside will all have differing architectural design choices.

And echoing what @Rideguy70, at least as of today; it seems all they have left are mainly 3-4 panels for the escalators on Central. Stanctions are up, trash cans are nearly placed perfectly, and it's at this point a simple waiting game. It also sounds like the bathrooms over by Cinema are wrapping up, with signage being placed for the facilities.

Walls have come down around the Curious George security.

Today's the big day. New security bubble goes live today.

Anybody at the park today to feel out how it went?

I saw a video

It looks like if your rope dropping the lines should be still super easy

It will be on the busier afternoons, when its going to be seen if this is a good change or not but from what I've seen online its easy to get in still

Has it really been since 2001 that we could freely move between Citywalk and the theme park entrance like this? I used to go a lot around 2006-2007 and I swear I had that freedom back then? Unless this is a typo because this photo purports to have been taken in 2010:

I think security pre-2015 did go up to the front gates so you should've been able to approach the globe back then.

I think this will take a little getting used to but I think it will be a nice change in the longrun. It will be nice getting to go through Citywalk without having to worry about going through security to get into the park.

Interesting, I see now in the image I shared that the umbrellas were most likely the earlier version of the security checkpoint. Maybe I've completely blocked it from my memory because as a youngin', I never had a bag or anything like that on me so maybe I was just able to breeze on through every time and it never even really registered in my brain that such a checkpoint really existed? Crazy.
