Why does it seem like such a long walk up Main Street when you enter but takes no time at all when you leave the park?
Main Street USA is built on a slight incline. Walt and the Imaginears decided to built the incline leading up to the castle so that it made guests slow down entering the park, giving them time to experience Main Street and get a look around. On the opposite end of the spectrum, they wanted tired guests to have no difficulty exiting the park and heading the their transportation.
