Thanks for "nipping it in the bud". What then, is the newly cleared adjacent land dedicated to?

Party pooper!

Maybe also one of the new resorts that’s been hinted at?

I'm pretty sure it's just for the new drainage area for storm water. I doubt they would put a resort right next to that.

I don't believe so

Maybe replacement parking, infrastructure and back of house?

Plus of course access, site and staging for the rollercoaster project.

“Replacement” parking...now that is interesting.

I have to admit that it’s pretty disappointing how much bigger the queue will be than the ride itself. I guess the queue could include some really fun pre-show stuff, but still that just seems odd. This may turn out to be like the new Fallon ride at Uni where the pre-ride stuff is better than the actual ride (imo of course).

I think he's referring to backstage parking that's displaced by the guardians project.

You’re probably right. I was just wondering if it could be more and that is based solely on some of the chit chat about the front of the park changing/views of SSE being blocked by a new resort which just seems crazy to me. But replacing backstage parking definitely makes a heck of a lot more sense.

More festival parking for the only thing that seems to draw people to EPCOT these days.

There's no back stage parking being displaced in that area...

Not than I know anything about sleuthing, but assuming this clearing is at least in part for replacement parking, I wonder if it would be worth taking a look at back stage parking areas in other parts of the park for potential locations where the resorts might go. Things that make you go, hmmmmmm...

There's possibly going to be a reconfiguration of Epcots parking layout in the near future.

Well, if the entrance resort that @marni1971 hinted at becomes a reality, then I would presume there's going to be a whole bunch of front end parking moving around.

Over by where they're making the new pond, if they put a resort there, there are two parking lots for Yacht and Beach CMs that will be gobbled up.

Then there's CM parking behind Test Track and Mexico which might be moved to make way for a resort.

Unless an insider wants to be more specific about where the next two resorts are going, let alone four of them... there's no chance of guessing where things will go because so much of the infrastructure is movable if they want to move it (cf. DHS back stage).

The area that will be left for possible use that isn't GotG or water is shown by the yellow building below. That's enough space for a new attraction, or a boutique resort, or a lot more parking and back stage infrastructure (that they might have to move from somewhere else).
