Lets say that the current pads / sites.. (with the exception of main site) were not all that secure and distance wise had issues.
So this should fix some of that.

Trailers were used at the studios for there NYE and etc shows.. I don't recall ever seeing them at the kingdom.

I seem to remember all of the old Studios shows (minus the rooftop launches) were fired from a trailer parked in the backlot tour tram lane.

Here is a picture of it loaded up before being moved into position.

Considering it's the "Water District" I'm guessing it's for water?????? There are driveways for trucks, possibly chemical deliveries.
It could be for a water stripping tower: https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/engineering/packed-tower#
These towers are used to "trickle" off many various pollutants and impurities.
Could be for a new pumping station or chemical treatment facility or maybe UV water treatment. My money's on a stripping tower, but hey, I think Goofy rules with Goofy Rules, IMHO.

No, the "Water" in the name refers to storm water management. The South Florida Water Management District permits need to be filed any time you are adding new impervious surfaces, like the concrete pads, or are doing work out wetlands.

Week-long Road closure coming to World Drive close to proposed new Magic Kingdom firework launch site​


I wonder if this is unrelated because the South Florida Water Management District permit has not been approved yet and there still hasn't been a notice of commencement for it.

Yeah could be, but it’s a heck of a coincidence
