/* History */
The first major closure in Main Street USA happened in 1983 when the Swan Boats closed. The Boats which had originally numbered eleven, had been cut down to five before being closed. The explanation for the closure was that the Swan Boats were too expensive to keep running. In 1992 Main Street lost another attraction when the Walt Disney Story closed. The film was becoming too deteriorated to keep showing. A gift shop and information center known as the Exposition Hall replaced the Hospitality House and thus The Walt Disney Story.
In 1995 the Penny Arcade, which had been an opening day attraction finally closed its doors. It was replaced along with the Main Street Bookstore and the House of Magic by the new Main Street Athletic Club. Another opening day attraction would soon follow in the Penny Arcades Arcade's footsteps, when in 1998 the Main Street Cinema was redone. Instead of being a classic movie theater like it had always been, the Cinema was re-themed into a Disney art gift shop. The facade on the outside was changed to read “Now Showing: The Art of Disney”. Inside the new Cinema, you can still see old Disney shorts being played on a screen in the back of the shop.
In 2001 the last major attraction change happened when the Harmony Barbershop was moved from West Center Street to Town Square. The move was made so that the Emporium could expand into what had previously been the barbershop. Besides the barbershop , as of January 2012, Main Street has two opening day attractions left: The Main Street Vehicles and the Wald Walt Disney World Railroad.
