Vertical with construction for storage for Fantasmic, the new route of the railroad, new route for River of America. I don't believe they nothing has gone vertical regarding SWL. But they are laying the ground work to start up in the future. It's hard to see exactly what's going on at DHS. There isn't a parking garage across the road to get a Birdseye view. At least we will get to see what's coming to DHS.
I knew there were permits for TSL and SWL. Did not know if anything started besides demo work
Yea they have started subsurface work (footers, electrical and plumbing. Sometime in late October we should start seeing more visible above ground work even if it''s just poured concrete floors for structures. If rumors are true with the Rollercoaster rework the footings for that should start going in in late December otherwise I suspect we will start seeing some of those somewhat soon.
And Florida doesn't have to build to a higher standard due to hurricanes?
So are you saying Orlando couldn't get a hurricane? I'm fairly certain both are being built to a high standard and both are high priorities.
Well, they have that and that snotty little problem of a water table just a few feet below the ground level. I'd say they are even. Hurricanes are a bit easier to build for then earthquakes because hurricanes are more predictable in how they materialize, but, the water table thing coupled with possible sinkholes does create a pretty heady engineering problem.
Agree. Looking at the pictures online it seems that at DL they did all of the demo at roughly the same time to get that blank slate look, while at DHS they've been taking down stuff here and there. Although, since I was at DHS in the first week of August it really has moved along, but you're right; they have significant concrete work already going on at DL, while in DHS demo isn't done yet (heck, half of the stunt show grandstands stood there for a couple of weeks before they finally finished it). Although I will say that at DL they have a different issue, in that they had to close a lot of existing attractions while the construction was going on, most noticeably the DL railroad and the river. If you look at the DL pictures, most of the heavy concrete work is going on along the perimeter bordering the rest of the park, so I'm sure that they're trying to get that done so they can bring the RR and river back online while construction finishes up further in the back.
Electrical is still hooked up to it from what we've been able to see from aerials.
What if you have both earthquakes and hurricanes?
