I agree for the most part only in a cosmetic way. Just think how much has been lost on Main Street....that isnt as noticable like the Penny Arcade for example. Although Main Street may look just as nice if not nicer today....I think it has suffered some over the years at its core. Same with TSI. That is one example where I think it looked better in the past. Look at that fort rising from the distance and the rockwork. Its beautiful. Nothing really draws your attention to the island and I still say the Fantasmic area looks awful. That area has really suffered.
