DHS Aerial View

[jt04]

Since it's the same ride the pool will be the same depth in both locations, the only question is, at DHS, how much of it will be below the current grade and how much will have to be built up above it.

Ummm....??????

The garage is a good question. There isn't a whole lot of room between the coaster and the garage to build something. I wonder if they might cover the end of the garage and paint a large mural on it, and then maybe some trees in between to soften the appearance.

They could put HD screens in the gaps between floors and paint it like a giant crate. Then fill it with pretty much anything. Toys, rabbits, iguanas....

Edit: Just thought of this. Make it a vegetable crate w/occasional rat scurrying through. Convert the first floor to a queue for the Ratatouille IP. Either m&g or the Paris ride.

Mike drop.

Are you off your meds again?

LOL, apparently you live in one of the states that just legalized marijuana.

They make meds for this?

Do you confuse vivid psychedelic hallucinations for imagineering? If you do, we have good news for you. From Prescott Pharmaceuticals comes Campaignax. Campaignax channels your wild, waking fever dreams into a reality-free desire to seek public office, thus leaving theme park lovers unbothered by misguided ideas to redesign a popular park from the ground up into an impossible to build and maintain living nightmare.

What could go wrong?

Turning that garage into a vegetable crate would be quite easy to do. But I admit some of my ideas are out there. Like putting an UP balloon on the roof.

PS- all my ideas on WDWMagic are free for the taking. Now excuse me while I get back to my drawing board.

What do you think the area circled in red is? It looks like support pilings but they are odd looking and can't think of what they would support in that area. Believe that is roughly where elevated track would be.

That is Eisner's terra-cotta army that was buried during the construction of Disney-MGM Studios.

It is waiting to escort him to a better place (Universal Studios) when he dies.

Could it be possible that this is the area where we see Jessie & Rex? are these supposed to be static characters or moving figures?

Those were already buried there and are being dug out and removed.

They are being carefully excavated so they can be cut to the final height to support the rollercoaster footings. If you look a a big view of the photo it's pretty easy to see that they were being very careful when digging around them.

Wonder what they were originally for, it doesn't look like there was ever anything there that would have required significant footings like that.

I like the view from the parking garage better.

lol yea it's a much better view. I haven't been back there in a few years though.

That area was where the planes on the Backlot Tour were located. I don't think they would require those footings, but that's the area.

You all sure that wasn't ground support for the water tower?

 

[mikeh]

Yeah, the water tower was probably 100 ft from this location

 

[danlb_2000]

Yeah, this is where it's roughly at. Maybe there were plans for something more substantial in that area that eventually changed.

If anyone around here knows why there are existing pilings in this spot then I would think @marni1971 would.

I can't see any reason why they would be old ones. Originally this was directly on the tram path as it passed the original (larger) greens area.

I can assure you that they are definitely old pilings, which only makes their presence all the more mysterious.
