Demolition of Catastrophe Canyon has begun...

[danlb_2000]

Going a lot quicker than I thought it would but thinking that they're going full tilt on this is that they'll use this area for the ground breaking media event. Would kind of fit in line after clearing this space and before getting started on the demo of LMA they'll have a ground breaking media event there.

At the risk of being a Debbie downer, the speed of the progress isn't surprising. This is a single task, given to a single contractor, so there is no reason for it to not move along smoothly. I will fell more optimistic about the progress of the overall project if after this task they move immediately on to the next one.

WOW Moving right along. Did they just squish the truck?

it wasnt so much a truck, as a truck-shaped arm that moved back and forth

Would explain why it was such a complete fail as a getaway vehicle on that fateful day many moons ago.

I agree Demo is fast always is sad something so cool comes down so fast really.

You think this is going down fast, I just saw a short video of the back of Disneyland. Lots of equipment moving there.

Out with the old they say. DHS needs a lot of new, and soon.

That image will always break my heart. Poor Horizons.

There's no demo in this photo? Has the canyon always looked like this near the tram exit, to me that looked like rock work starting come down.

That's the biggest problem with this board.
If you post anything the loyalist, pretentious, Disney know-it-alls have to jump all over you to make themselves feel more important. Clearly their lives are lacking importance and control so they try to exhibit some kind of control here.

They are just a bunch of sad clowns.

Disney needs to demo a lot of their rides

I am not sure what you are getting at in this case. I made a comment that actual demo of the canyon had not started at that point, @Rteetz posted a response asking about something he observed in the pictures, and I followed up with evidence that showed that what he observed has always been that way. The was a totally respectful discussion. I won't deny that some people to sometimes get out of hand, but this wasn't one of those cases.

@TyrantBoss i mean just because anyone thinks something has changed, doesn't mean it has, i correct myself all the time here, once i see the plans and layouts, pictures and stories... the pictures shown did not have ANY removal work other than a hole where the utilities were being severed and capped.

After today there's very little/if any left. Mostly clean up at this point

Seriously, though.... Those trams.. I don't understand why Disney can't use them for unique transportation!

I say use them as parking trams for HS as a small tribute to the original idea of the park! There's no need to just let them sit and rot. Especially if they look nicer than the current parking trams.

GONE already... and you need CMs at the doorsides to load/unload.

says a structural engineer? the sides of the tram were more than just keeping ppl from falling out, they are just like the doors of your car, INTEGRAL to the structure and safety of the vehicle (and not just from falling out, but for crush and impact survivability)
