Don’t worry. When I start getting it all wrong I’ll delete my account and disappear into the ether.

Perhaps a lesson for others.

It appears to be a generator and some cinder blocks.

Cinder blocks are just there to support the wooden construction walls.

Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy!!!!

Plus some barriers, storage boxes, and a bucket and pipe threading unit. The cinder blocks are actually weighing down the construction wall. They get some big winds in Florida from time to time.

Sorry I posted that before I saw the other posts with item listing.

Come on people, it’s concrete masonry unit (CMU), not cinder block.

There is some space to expand the Boardwalk between IG and BW if Disney wanted to make it into Springs Jnr around there. I suspect the returns are better from continuing to add restaurants inside Epcot though. Japan and WS Space restaurant won't be the last additions: even if it needs a new land to make the space for more dining.

Yup, just like water is now "tasteless life essential liquid unit". (TLELU)

It was just a lame attempt to contribute.

Maybe go with "Concrete based Cast Member"?

It probably took some government agency two years and a million dollar study to determine the politically correct name for that.

Or that some builders wanted to use concrete blocks that weren't made with cinders and so they needed a name for them that didn't have 'cinder' in it in order to avoid confusion?

A better photo. Still some significant work to be done at POP station

I have actually been to the location near Flagstaff where cinder blocks were born. Just to contribute.

Do you know the extent of construction planned for the IG? I probably just have to click a few pages back...

Fixes bathroom music an ocean away, has the longest range camera in the world, can guess exact shapes of buildings that haven't been built yet...what can't you do?

A lot of internal remodelling as well as the actual gate. This is getting ready to expand some internal service areas that will be displaced.

The real work will begin soon.

Wow, sounds like a pretty substantial modification headed to the IG.

As much as I lament the loss of the small, quaint entry, (our favorite of any of the parks, minus the magic of walking into the MK) it needs to be expanded to support the presumably larger crowds the Skyliner will be bringing in.
