Well, I think James was more correct, however he's not here to defend himself at the moment... so:

What's the primary reason that Main Street was originally paved with red cement??

[tiggerguy]

for better looking photographs ie bluer blues greener greens

I've heard that was (sort of) true for when Epcot was constructed, but not for MK...

To expensive at the time???

The way I heard it is that when Walt Disney planned the Magic Kingdom, he wanted his guests to feel as though they were entering a movie. The red cement was the "red carpet" as you enter a premier. This is also why they have popcorn carts just as you enter coming out from under the train station, to give you the same sensations as when you are in a theater. The background music we enjoy, was created for each particular land, as if it was part of any film's soundtrack.

Enjoy the show!

OK - Baylordad & MickeyBabe, duke it out - either one can give the next question...

The 'red carpet' concept I thought (I'm occasionally wrong!) was more for the approach/entry to the gate, then the proposed curtain under the train station onto Main Street... Walt wanted to completely pave Main Street in bricks but $$$$$$$$. He therefore only used bricks on the side streets, and red cement elsewhere.
