News Mysterious Land Clearing South of the Japan Pavilion

[danlb_2000]

Could it just be a staging area for the work on the eaterie coming to Japan?

If the restaurant is going to use existing structures in Japan, which I assumed it was, then there really would be no need for a staging area.

Didn’t Martin suggest this would be for resort use? And somewhere there was discussion over a part of CBR that was never built ....

So what if it’s the last phase of CBR? Having demolished two of the “islands” for Riviera, maybe they decided to go ahead and build it now.

Canals are labeled C-1 and C-2 and so on, I think.

At the moment there’s I think nine Showcase pavilion projects in preCAR and pre / actual blue sky. Japan has only the eaterie.

Is this counting Ratatouille, Mary Poppins, Coco and Brazil?

Or 9 in early stages on top of those 4?

Not for drones, which I believe will be a part of the main replacement show. I know there’s a desire to avoid flying drones over the promenade. Ultimately this area is for resort use. Edit; I just saw the earlier post about closing a section of the prom for drone flyover. Unless drones are now planned for the interim show I don’t know; last I heard they were considered but discounted for this show.

The Japan show building still pops up to be used sometime for what it was originally designed for (guest attraction) but that’s not currently within the foreseeable.

What does preCAR mean?

Yep.

What does preCAR mean?

Detailed design.

 

[nickys]

Yep.

Detailed design.

So those 4 plus the Japan eaterie, the French creperie, Mulan in China ........

Plus Mount Fuji (oh, that’s Japan again), Bobsleigh Run and Canadian rapids ???

Or two more pavilions and a proper Figment re-do.

Or something altogether less exciting.

This land is no where near CBR.

Could it just be overflow parking for Boardwalk on it's busiest days? Or temp parking for Boardwalk if they take away some other parking areas for Swan/Dolphin expansion construction staging.

A recent permit appears to put a contruction trailer on this land, that coupled with the gravel, indicates to me that it's a staging area for a project that is not being built nearby.

 

[MisterPenguin]

If it is graveled, I can't imagine it being used for anything but backstage and services. Nothing for guests.

 

[GlacierGlacier]

Staging for the new restaurant?

 

[IMDREW]

Not trying to start anything again, but man, I’d trade almost all world showcase projects for the Mount Fuji coaster

These 9 projects are specific to WS (according to Marni’s post)

would hate to see those beautiful trees go

For my two cents! I think it is an extension of the Galaxy's Edge queue, to be used during peak season running from Jan 1st thru Dec 31st.

The part of CBR that was never built is opposite Trinidad South, next to/part of where the main Skyliner Terminal is being constructed. And the correct number of "islands" demolished is 1.5: All of Barbados, half of Martinique.

Yep. That would be here in orange...

It isn’t? But doesn’t the gondola come in past there? Kind of, not right overhead, obviously. But as it approaches France and the sightline issues .......

Might be thinking of the wrong photos though! Oops

Ah, OK, now I see how it fits. CBR is way further back than I was picturing.

So can we get a map showing all that plus where the land clearing is please?!
