Primeval Whirl remnants in scrapyard?

Hi, I'm new here, not sure where to post this, but I've been doing a deep dive into scrapyards around Orlando in an attempt to find anything from the demolition of Dinoland U.S.A. I found a mass of bright blue steel and what appears to be red track in a scrapyard called E & H Car Crushing Co Inc, connected to Orlando Scrap Metal Recycling in Bithlo. The imagery was taken mid November 2021. I'm just curious to see some opinions on this, are they possibly parts from the Primeval Whirl?

I'm also curious as to whether there have been other remnants of defunct WDW history spotted in scrapyards elsewhere. I'm aware of two locations which held Backlot Tour trams, as well as the on-site "boneyards" on Disney property, but that's about it.

Hard to tell by the photo from the quality of the pic. The colors aren't standing out as quite the same but it's possible. I suppose you could contact them directly if you are really interested and ask. Dis has spots where things go to waste but they wouldn't have a junk yard on property so the companies that contract demo work must have various companies to handle so much material. With so much work taking place now there must be a lot of waste to be hauled off.

You're a brave person; that's too depressing of a search for me. I do think it looks like it, though, and I'm impressed you found it.

It would be ironic if it was C & H Car Crushing Co.

Edit: Want to mention the dinosaur from the behind the store is at Cast Connections before the quote because I want to make sure both you and Chester&Hester Enthusiast see that.

On a more positive note, the dinosaur from behind their store is hanging around outside of Cast Connections in one piece.

You have to face facts. It will be a big step for you to realize it was terrible and thrown together last minute after cancellation of the real idea.

That sounds like more of an opinion than "the facts" my friend (albeit an objectively WRONG opinion because I have FIVE smuggled iguanodons in my basement and you have ZERO)

It is a fact the plan was much bigger and more expensive which was cut due to cost control. It sucked.

Dis has a history of this. Let's tell the paying guests we are doing this xyz thing and then when they find out the $$$ isn't there or can't be allocated for what they said, we will replace it with something inferior. Oh well... the paying guests will accept anything we throw at them and we don't have to care that they are disappointed or justify why it really sucks.
