There are no benches in the spoke towards the castle. (yet?)

However, they took all that away with the hub's new design which didn't make sense to me. Glad someone finally realized (or maybe guests complaints came in?) the benches were needed back in that area. Now if there was a bit of a shade as well... and they returned the blinking lights to the hub trees... I'd be happier.
