OK, yes, I know Robert and he has gotten me work, but I love this new article that will run in the OC Register.

Here is a great comment...
>>While Disney has done a relatively good job of keeping the “Star Wars” land construction at Disneyland out of the view of guests inside the park, it's that Tower of Terror construction at Disney California Adventure that has Disney fans talking.
I love the description from one follower on Twitter, “It's like Universal’s The Simpsons Ride come to life. You now actually can go on a ride as it’s being demolished.”<<
And it is a great thing,as one who has covered the green walls and fences,and even had one built specifically due to me. (When Universal was installing Mummy at Hollywood, I found a public vantage point to take photos, and they had to build a new wooden fence to prevent the view from others, and my return trips to take photos - Confirmed by Management and Union reps).
Heck, even my wife has adopted the "Green Wall" type of thinking, which to me means something new and exciting is coming up, after the LA Galaxy game on Sunday (And the Rapids SUCK!), we stopped at the upcoming Butterfly Pavilion site due to the green walls...

So yes, seeing the old dolphin stadium at SFMM being torn down and removed is exciting. (And a security person asked me what I was doing a few weeks ago taking pictures of the area, I told her and was behind the fences (public area), she actually called it in and I got to meet a good friend I haven't seen in awhile, and we both had a good laugh. She was doing her job, but I also wasn't doing anything wrong, and when my friend walked up as saw my face, well, they WANT the publicity and the knowledge that something new is coming... heck, it is basically just a dirt field that still needs to be graded currently, no construction has started.
But of course, Robert also said this...
>>Disney California Adventure back then was dismissed by many as a failure – a billion-dollar shopping mall that lacked the charm and excitement of Disneyland and the company's other theme parks around the world. At that point, any change was a good change, so construction walls probably meant better times ahead for the park.<<
