Photo I just took of The Boneyard demolition from this afternoon (9/19):

It also looks like the Encanto show building's foundation could be getting concrete poured soon

More images from yesterday from the website we don't speak about:

Also you can see in the last image that the white structure in-between the two red excavators could be for a crane for the Encanto show building.

(also unrelated but it would be nice if Bioreconstruct could take some aerial pictures of the site as I'm curious to see what's going on behind the walls now)

Yep, looks like the start of a tower crane.

Wanted to say this Friday...bioreconstruct gave more proof...Disney works fast when they want to work fast.

Seeing pieces of the Olden Gate Bridge Bronto bones as part of the scrap breaks my heart...

Seeing the boneyard destroyed is pretty heartbreaking. What a great area for the littles! I wonder how large the carousel will be? Seems like a lot of space for just the carousel.

Do we have any information on the replacement play area? Where it will be located? Size?

Wow, crane base ready to go. Electrical utilities already buried?

This is about to kick into high gear.

Feels like both here and the Door Coaster might be getting to stages of construction where visible progress is really going to be seen in the near future

Most of what Disney does these days is heartbreaking.

I just realized, soon the only place you'll be able to find animatronic dinosaurs at Disney World is the T-Rex restaurant in Disney Springs.

Do you think there's a softball league where the construction crews at the different construction sites play against each other, like Team Tropical Americas plays against Team Piston Peak. And maybe they trash talk each other while they're out on the bases, like "I heard the river came back, what up?"

Not softball. Basketball. In the basketball courts of Mt. Everest and Canada Pavilion.

It only the railway has the dioramas like Disneyland. Now is the time to build it and add some left over dinosaurs

At least they will still keep The Triceratops head that is still up at the front gate

And the silhouette profile is still used in the logo..

Slightly off topic but does Anyone else think that by 2027/2028 animal kingdom is going to have its parking lot signs replaced with Disney character ones? I’m predicting avatar Mirabel Indiana jones simba judy hopps and baloo signs.

Seeing as how the park is shifting away from being about animals to being just another Iger-style Glorified IP billboard park, it is very likely.

It's going to be this area in the center next to where Restaurantosaurus currently is, I think the play area's theme is going to be Indiana Jones if the rumors are true, which if that's the case then that sounds cool IMO.

Eh, it's 50/50 at this point, the parking lots for AK still have the name "Unicorn" for the cancelled Beastly Kingdom, so maybe it could stay? But I think that they might change "Unicorn" and "Dinosaur" to something else Avatar related and something TA related like "Jaguar" or "Capybara" once TA opens.

That or it's going to be what Agent H said.

1. Surmise that something, which won't be liked, is going to happen.

2. Get mad about it, NOW! And let everyone know how mad you are about a thing that may never happen.

3. Profit.


Great forums these are.

I really like this idea.

They could add a diorama on Rafiki's train but would be nice touch. Throw a scene of Flik in there too and got more "bones" from AK.

Things that won't happen but would be great.

Profit??!!??

I could get money from all my posts I am attacked for??!!??

As for signage, adding bars everywhere, adding DVC towers everywhere and destroying and replacing everything etc. Nothing surprises me anymore and I am never angry, I just shake my head and I feel the urge to post a salty post sometimes.

Its my copium.
