Conveyor installation and earth moving

[disney4life2008]

I am willing to bet it they will do exactly this. Its an eyesore.

It would be an improvement than the green metal! i know you were joking though lol. I know it might only be up a year but it has potential to hold up something cool to build on the excitement guests feel when they first enter the property, and it doesn't have to cost a lot of money!

That pile of dirt is what this conveyor is for.

New construction access is now paved! This should speed things up construction wise. The green tower is for the conveyor.

New service bridge over World Drive. At left is NB ramp from Osceola Pwy. This ramp goes away as interchange becomes full cloverleaf.

YOU FOOLS IT'S THE NEW MONORAIL

Well, moving gobs of mud isn't much different from moving gobs of fatty flesh.

Here is a aerial of the conveyor, still only the section over the road, but you can see the foundations for more of it.

The new storm water retention pond for DHS..

interesting that they've already started allowing the pond to fill with water

and strange that it looks already a quarter or so of the way done before the convey is done,

what'd they do with all the "dirt" cant tell from the aerials

wish i knew a good new site for updated aerials ever since nearmap went stupid

I'm not sure the direction that the creek there flows, they may have finished a portion of it early to provide some quick overflow protection while they fill in the swamp to the south of the park. All the dirt from it appears to be in one BIG pile with several smaller ones at the very south. They have some sift/sorting equipment on site.

Nearmap put everything behind a paywall because it's likely difficult to separate users like us from business users. While I'd be happy to pay something for some updated maps every now and then, I don't have near the coin to pay what they're asking.

At what point does a pond become a lake???

When there is a house on it you are trying to sell.

So why don't they just use this?

I have a limited amount of experience with products like that and the short version is they are garbage from a structural standpoint. Every installation I have seen would indicate that they simply do not deal with the wear and tear of even moderate parking lot traffic with out breaking apart. A parking lot made permeable concrete would turn to gravel and dust inside of a few months at WDW.

Looks like at lease some is piled here which puts it close to where the conveyor is.

Dirt should start moving any day now. Just drove past and saw that they are now adding the conveyors to both sides.

That's great news. I'm hoping to get up there this weekend so I'll try to get some pics if no one beats me to it.

Someone needs to see if it has been extended over the entrance road yet.

As of yesterday it had not been extended over the entrance, but the conveyor to the pile of dirt was in place

And as of today, it now crosses over the entrance road.

Any truth to the rumor that this conveyor will be connected to the PizzaRizzo conveyor? Perhaps a little dredging will improve the pizza.
