Wand Removal Day: One W/ PICTURES from in the park

[Baums101]

They say the wand will be completely down in September but will it really take that long to remove it?

 

[Mansion Butler]

I like how everyone's excited about seeing a crane visible in a park. You don't get that often.

EPCOT Space Ship Earth Wand Removal Day: One, July 9, 2007
I took these pictures myself this afternoon...Enjoy

These capture it very well. Great job BeachClub!

It is where I thought they would put the crane as they had a crane in that same location about 3-4 years ago for who knows what. I was a WDW virgin at the time. I have figured out why they are going to take time to remove this thing.. imagine one of those steel beams hitting the parks landmark... the damage would be visible for a fer piece. Nope, this is going to be piecemeal. Gentle gentle gentle like my kitty.

The crane looks small considering the job its about to do... Does it extend or something? lol.

 

[DMC-12]

Personally... I cant wait to see some hot cutting torch action. :slurp: :lookaroun


Thanks for the pics.

I'm pretty sure it has a few more telescoping sections that are still retracted (see picture below). Its a good sized crane.

Wand Staying.....Adding Sims Crane as sponsor

Wait a minute now...I heard the wand was staying but was going to be sponsored by a company called "Sims Crane" and that they were supposed to be installing a "Sims Crane" icon next to the wand. :lookaroun



Sorry, I couldn't help myself. I'm giddy with anticipation of the removal of the wand. :sohappy:


Of course one thing we never figured out, at least I don't recall a thread on it.... If the Hat is in the Studios and the Arm-Wand is in Epcot, then the Feet must be in Bay Lake with the fishes. :drevil:

[Escarabaja06]

Thanks for the pics. It will be great to go back and see the new/old SSE!

 

[TheBeatles]

This feels good to see SSE back to its normal self.

 

[HoW]

Didn't expect to see the crane immediately, but I am certainly glad it's there! Welcome back to all your glistening goodness SSE! :sohappy:

 

[cymbaldiva]
