News Mysterious Land Clearing South of the Japan Pavilion

[nickys]

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

Good point. Excellent, 3 more pavilions! Or the Rhine River ride instead!

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?!

From bioreconstruct...



That would put it about here...

Anyone know what that's for? Dirt storage? Building something? I don't recall that space being indicated on any permits for anything.

I'm not sure if this has been discussed already in a different thread, but I saw some construction behind the Germany pavilion tonight that might be this project. I asked a cast member about it; they said it popped up recently and aren't sure what it is. There's a lot of construction in the world showcase skyline right now, which is really exciting!

The building seen being built behind Germany is the Riviera Resort.

Thanks! I had no idea.

Remember that, folks, next time you're passing along insider information from a CM.

Would have to be more cost efficient (yeah Disney) to distribute the delivery of the cabins to stations as they arrive. Leave them at the port (JAX?) til they are ready for them then truck them over.

Port storage is super expensive! If they are in containers you pay daily for the container and the port storage.

Whatever it is they're doing, they'd better hurry before the China pavilion claims ownership and builds a base on it!

Exiting times....will we really have to wait until D23 in late 2019 for more info? They’re gonna have to get a move on if this is for the 50th

BREAKING: China CM's have started building an island in the lagoon for "research".

Indeed, quite egressive!!

could it be a landing spot for drones for a new illuminations?

Martin’s already ruled that out. They don’t want drones flying over areas where large numbers of people are congregated, if I understood correctly. @marni1971 - care to comment?

That’s what I understand.

Of course the promenade could be closed at certain times. Though the crowd control implications would be huge. I’d also be a little surprised if drones were included in an interim show.

Ultimately, as I’ve said before somewhere, this land is designated for resort use.

Not to mention it's unlikely that a gravel plot is where you want a thousand propellers going at the same time. A drone launch pad would have to be one with an impervious surface or off of a building. And I doubt they're building something on top of something labeled 'gravel lot.'

I wonder what the ideal launch pad would be like?

I wonder if it would be a job for porous asphalt, since it seems like that would be win-win because it wouldn't have to bear much weight but, being porous, you wouldn't have to build a compensating retention pond. Then again, porous asphalt might be too expensive for such a light duty use.

It seems like such a small area for a standalone resort, if and when it ultimately becomes one. Though I guess it's not that small if you include the existing parking lot and the Speedway. Though then they'd have to build a parking structure in the existing Boardwalk and convention center lot. Also, it seems to me to be in an awkward location. But I might just not have enough imagination. I blame the demise of JII for that.

Perhaps this will be the final spot for viewing N234MM. Perhaps a new preview center built like a time capsule that can be seen from the Skyliner?

 

[Seabasealpha1]

"Long" term it’s proposed for a resort. How long long is I don’t know.

Welp...there goes Mt. Fuji...

Jiminy Christmas man. Every time I try and secretively build my giant storage shed, you weirdos are all like, “what’s going on? Why did those trees go bye bye?” Guess I’m taking my kit back to Menards for the umpteenth time. Let’s time travel. In a few months, KS is not being expanded and nothing interesting is being done, so it’s best ignored. OK?

Could be a war between the Mouse and the Ents of Lord of the Rings?

New aerial from bio-reconstruct. Looks like they have started to stage materials for something at one end of land.
