Exhibit A.) {Note, from IU}

You can notice the showbuilding of TWDA exposed right as you enter from the façade (aka, the box above the ride exit and the Music Hall).

And then right before you enter the indoor section of the line; a portion of the Soundstage that occupies TWDA is exposed too. That, is what I was referring.

Strange that they haven't done anything to make the building blend in more.

When Universal has been trying to move away from the whole "Working Studio" thing (even at USH to a degree and especially in Orlando) and creating more fully themed, immersive environments, I don't think it's asking much they they take an extra few days and a bunch of paint to theme the side show buildings.

There was a lot of show buildings (FJ, Shrek) that got that treatment at USH's WWoHP even AFTER the land opened as they realized it broke from theme too much.

USH is a different beast altogether. It's not a "Working Studio thing." It is a working studio. So while the sightlines might not be immersive theme park-friendly, they have a purpose other than hosting a couple rides and shows.

This is the important difference between USH and all other US parks. It will always have production at its core.

I used to say USH was a studio with a theme park attached, and USO was a theme park with a studio attached.

I thought they had slapped more theming on the back of those buildings. That is an early picture isn't it?

I mean we all know how the mouse is but no reason to heap it on the little fella.

It honestly is magical when you're not walking shoulder to shoulder and strollers are hitting your feet. I welcome this option anytime, especially at Disneyland.

That is an older picture. The new walls along the walkway make it look a little better.

The actual studio and the theme park are kept pretty separate besides the tram tour. Since Comcast bought the company, the studios has been moving further and further away from the park with the park taking over former Studio land.

I get you're comparison, but this picture was taken during the construction of that back area. It looks completely different now. None of that backstage stuff is visible.

What are we looking at here? Is this the exit from the magic kingdom park?

It's the Main Street Bypass. Used primarily from 7-park close to help ease park congestion on Main Street. The picture I posted above is the actual path.

dark makes many things look better, hides things. But, I agree it looks better in the lower picture.

This picture is the completed version. The picture that was posted by the other poster was taken probably either Fall 2014 or Spring 2015 (by the looks of it) when they were working on the Bypass, which was finished by Summer 2015.

That was simply a backstage area before. Now it is themed to be onstage at any time with walls blocking backstage, trees, foliage, themed lights, newly paved road as you would see on Main Street, painted wearhouse buildings, etc. The gates at both ends are themed as well to their respective locations.

But anyway, F&F...

The steel that is there in the first pic right now is on top of where BeetleJuice stood, which @Teebin has said is the entrance.

EDIT: The second pic actually IS on top of the service road as previously thought.

OK, from this vantage point, I can definitively say that NO, the building is not on the service road. The steel that is there right now is on top of where BeetleJuice stood, which @Teebin has said is the entrance.

So the old Disaster! entrance will be the exit?
