They are literally building Piston Peak, already, so if the land isn't finalized, then what are they actually building?
Disney often makes use of fast-track project delivery where construction starts before design work is complete. We’ve already seen changes between the water management permits, sanitary sewer permit and potable water permits.
So what are they building over at Piston Peak?
Nothing at the moment, just playing in the dirt for now.
Are you talking about Villains or Piston Peak? They've begun building a retaining wall at Piston Peak at a very specific shape and slope. I don't think that the land will change, as this point. It's clearly be shaped.
The retaining wall is a site element. There’s a lot that could still be modified without modifying the retaining wall.
Disney and "fast-track project delivery" is a oxymoron.
Other than possibly the buildings, what do you think could change? The waterway is literally defining the shape of the terrain around it. It's also just like it is in the concept art.
The “e”‘could change in many ways - 7 dwarves was always going to fit in the same location but was significantly cut down for example.
Piston Peak is a building. But also, I’m not arguing that anything is being changed. I’m pointing out that the work we see doesn’t require design work to be completed.
I'm talking about the land itself, not the length of the main attraction. They are definitely not going to scrap the 2nd attraction. They might have changed it, but as we've seen in the different concept art, they would just use a different show building, or whatever. I think it's all already planned, but none of these proposed alterations change the land much at all.
We never saw the 2nd cars attraction to my knowledge. It could easily be scrapped. I don’t think we’ve ever heard anything about it since when they first announced that a second family, friendly, smaller attraction would be present as well. And honestly, if they needed the space and it meant that the cars attraction could be that more much more impressive, I would rather they just give us one better cars ride than two subpar attractions!
What are you basing this assertion on?
It's a terrain-scaped land, with hidden show buildings tucked inside. It all has to be designed very precisely to work, and that's exactly why they have to file for design permits. We've only seen the water management ones, etc. These rock features will be very heavy, for instance, and the Florida ground needs to be prepped for the weight distribution, before vertical construction can even start. They cannot just start building something without design / development permits, though. They can re-file them if they change their plans, but is not like it was in 1955. They can't just start building a public-facing land with buildings without knowing exactly what it is that they're building.
I never said that anything would prevent them from removing the ride. I'm saying that there's no way that it will happen, as the land is clearly designed with the space for the second attraction, and that space is not just going to be left without anything there. They simply aren't going to open a land with one single attraction, mainly because there's no reason NOT to have a 2nd one, and the fact that it would be a PR nightmare to do so. Also, I think that talking about removing the thing that's been announced and is in the concept art, is just so completely hypothetical thing to even entertain, at this moment. The 2nd attraction won't shape the land like the main one. It will either be in a show building or be a flat ride, so it's kind of an irrelevant topic, on whether or not they build a model of the land itself.
What land do you know has only one attraction? Even the Harry Potter land at Epic has the circus as a placeholder until they get their 2nd "E-ticket" built.
You must be new to how disney plans/constructs new things. 'Cause what you said is not at all accurate.
