DHS Aerial View

[biggy H]

Would it kill them to get a better camera?

Looks better on my 48" HD screen than my 15" laptop so it could just be your settings.?? Nice and crisp on TV but a blurry on laptop.

Display has nothing to do with it, these are lower quality then some of the other aerial images we get. I still appreciate the effort, blurry aerials are better then nothing.

You weren't kidding. If I was spending the money to ride in a helicopter I'd bring a better camera than this.

The person taking the pictures for that site is on the job, so he doesn't have to pay to fly. Many locals will hear Nick give traffic reports on the radio

Now that is a LOT of dirt & sand being moved! I'm impressed it can be moved and graded as fast as it has been....all to provide us with something new to look at!

Do you think that the new cast member parking lot could someday become the site of future SWL expansion?

I think it's more likely expansion will go into the old Calamity Canyon plot, near Toy Story Land (which seems to be used as a staging area right now). That location corresponds to the Disneyland version's expansion pad.

Also, where are the new aerial pictures posted? I need a hint.

No, that's for Catastrophe Jane.

Thanks for the pics!

Now, for the longest time, we've been hearing all that cleared area is just for new parking. Is this designation definite, or just a vague possibility?

More infrastructure may be required in the future.

The foundation/initial construction work is going to happen fast. The annoying part of the build for all of us is when the structures are essentially built, but the real work happens behind the scenes. Those months will be terrible for news and images - much like Pandora once the structure of the floating mountains was complete and the real magic was happening out of view.

Monorail expansion confirmed!

Foundation/initial work isn't going all that fast either. It's been a year since LMA closed and we still appear to be a ways off from vertical construction on the show buildings.

Uh, we all know that they're re-using the hidden footers at the back of DHS for both TSL slinky coaster pylons and some SWL rock work....the gotcha is no one other than Eisner remembers where they buried them!

I don't understood why a parking garage is not on the table for this park, and let the park expand all the way up to the water canal.

Is cost just completely prohibitive for this?

A while back I did some research and I think I recall that parking garages cost 4-6x more per spot than a regular paved lot.

That's it???
I would have expected much more than that.

Surface lots can range from $5,000 to $10,000 per space to construct. They aren't cheap, by any stretch of the imagination.

Understood, I just would have thought more like 10X the cost...

Disney Springs just started construction for a third parking garage structure, this is to help with congestion.
