Sorry to dissappoint but this is a golf cart service garage.

Seriously.

Gotta build the important stuff first!

Well they bulldozed the old pargo maintence facility so it is kinda important they replace it

Cool! We're getting a Land Speeder ride!!

But it's in the middle of a massive construction site. Do they really want pargos driving back there?

Do you not think they travel back there every day now? The perimeter road is fenced off on both sides and is used every day by cast.

New aerials at the site which cannot be named. TSL is coming along nicely, but not much has changed in SWL since the last aerials.

Thanks for the alert!

I decided to post some of those pics here for discussion sake:

Does anyone know what this crane is doing? Is it just removing that tower?

The "tower" is actually part of the crane setup, it has a large auger bit (drill bit) in it. It appears that they are doing "grouting" which is where they drill holes into the ground and inject concrete to stabilize the earth. If you look closely there is a blue hose running from where the drill is to a red piece of equipment which would be the concrete pump.

That crane is driving piles into the ground.

Not a pile driver, see my post above.

My first thought was something like that or drilling earth samples

We saw them do something similar at DAK for Avatar. I would expect to see them doing this in a lot of areas back there.

Looks like something is getting built back here . The white concrete with the three pipes sticking up appears to be new work and the round thing just below it looks like the foundation for something.

Then where is the pile driver located because it doesn't appear they are done driving piles.

I don't see it in any of the pictures, it might have been taken off site for now.

so is that 4ish story building that went up pretty quickly going to have some additional holes cut out of it? Seems like a pretty weird little box right now.

I assume that will be the equipment room and maintenance bay for the ride. I am guessing that there is a hole on the short end that we cannot see to get the trains in and out.

Ah...that makes more sense. I was thinking that would be like a queue building.

The queue and loading platform will be in front of it.

TSL looks like it's going up very quickly in comparison to any other project they've done recently. Definitely looks like they are shooting for a 2018 open, maybe even early 2018 at this pace.
