Demolition of Catastrophe Canyon has begun...

[JUFL2019]

You mean they didn't fit it in two dumpsters? That's all I see, do you think they dumped it into one of the nearby retention ponds? If so, SHAME ON THEM!

I hope this is sarcasm. My BS meter has been broken since DST started.

What am.I looking at here?

 

[dstrawn9889]

the Disney 'dump'.... where things that should never be seen outside of Disney property go to rot
this is a pile of buried shipping containers
there are a few cans i'll bet full of the shreddings of 10 nautili.

I spy, with my little eye ... a third dumpster!

 

[ChesterKiwi]

Goodness, I hope not. For just Main Street alone, there's normally 3-4 times a day that the main trash compactor for the area needs to be taken out and dumped. If the Compactors are ever down and CMs only get a regular dumpster, far more are needed.

Just a couple of dianogas in the trash compactors and they wouldn't have that problem.

I'll show myself out.

Moving on, can someone explain to me what the staging area that this will become is for? I've never been quite clear on this. Are they expanding the area of the park or what?

Question... will LMA/HISTK close at the end of the day on Apr 2nd, or is the last operating day Apr 1st?

Whenever a large project is being done in one of the parks they have an area that is used for the construction offices (trailers) as well as parking for the construction workers and a place to stage materials.

For example here is the area that was setup near Typhoon Lagoon to support the Disney Springs work.

and here is the one for Avatar..

Having work construction project my whole life I can tell you that a lay down area is required on all major projects. Also the cost of the projects goes up a lot if the laydown site is not adjacent to the work site. I had one project years ago where the lay down site was 1/2 mile from the construction and it add about 20% to the construction cost. A lay down area next to both Star Wars Land and Toy Story Land will say a lot of money.

Thank you both for your responses. Always glad to learn something new!

In the case of DHS, you would have to go on the other side of a major highway to find a place that is suitable for staging. All the land adjacent to DHS is wetlands. So it makes sense that the staging will be within the bounds of the park.

I wonder where staging for the stage 3 will be when current one is ready for attraction use again

Most likely will be like Avatar and on the back side of the construction of the next phase. After that this area will become "back stage" support. You will then be only doing one major project and will not need as much area. Also if some of the rumors about excellerated construction time is true, even more lay down area would be required for Phase I and II.
