They have setup a staging area behind Rainforest, we could see that in the last aerial. There have also been reports of cranes in that area.

Well, that's something.

Did you know that is costs anywhere about $100,000 extra to make a cellphone tower look like a tree. I used to work for the big providers and we used to do studies on how to make them blend in better and cheaper!

Sadly, I hope the stealth tree tower concept is a cheaper method of making them blend, as it's pretty much the worst of the many ways I've seen it done. Sticks out more as faux than the Tree Of Life.

I hope you mean the old one, not the new one. Anybody got pictures?

Disney is actually saving a lot of the trees in the area and moving them backstage near the nursery one by one.

I'm going to have to get this thread some photos next month, because I can't find any!

Who wants to invest me some money and I'll buy a drone, get some real nice photos!

Makes sense! Big trees are very expensive.

Confirmed. No longer exists. As well as a ton of earth piling up behind Rainforest area.

That is excellent news. Let's hope they all get put back in for shade.

Any truth to the rumor that they just threw a single match at it and the entire place went up in flames?
