If it was designed for another park that would be an r&d savings also??

So my spidey-senses point to it being the Dwarves Mine.
Moving Barnstormer to the area where the chateau was planned for.
Build a mine/mountain around it, to create an indoors coaster.
This would cause ride X to be both significantly cheaper and take less time to construct...

Except that Barnstormer isn't moving and being rethemed to Dumbo's land according to insiders here.

This does not exactly encourage me. It is sounding more and more like a RnRC for kids. Meh.
That is the biggest puzzle for me about all this. I thought Dumbo was key to the FLE but it does not appear anywhere close to getting underway. Is it now phase 2?

I don't think I would call it phase 2, really.
FLE west is obviously going to be first in line with construction, since it will require the most infrastructue work, and overall new construction.
Dumbo can remain open for quite a while. The new version can be constructed and finished before the old one shuts down.
New Dumbo, re-themed Barnstormer, re-themed trainstation and food/merch locations will not take all that long to build, hence FLE east starting a bit later.
(The capacity gained by keeping TTF open is also a factor.)

I'll probably see Little Mermaid next year at DCA, and I'm definitely looking forward to it. While the Florida concept art indicates water features leading up to the ride, do we know if there will be any water features in the queue or attraction itself?
I'm going with Lee on this one, without knowing anything for sure - there are certainly rumblings that would indicate Project X could be themed to Snow White. At the very least, it appears that it will be related to a classic franchise as opposed to a more modern one.

Nice job!The area for the SW coaster truly is huge, but it seems weird it would have the Pooh playground being immediately adjacent to it. I would hope that the playground moves.

I was under the impression that since they moved the tree the playground is going away.

The playground is gone for good and has been gone for quite a while. There was supposed to be a small Pooh M&G in nearly the same spot but it really hasn't ever gotten any attention compared to the Princess M&Gs and everything else.

Amazing. I did not realize the chateau would be essentially due north of pooh. By the way, it is well east of dirt mountain on the drawing and I hate to say it but the berm that defines mermaid also seems to conform to the chateau. And the constrution fence conforms exactly to the mill. Curiouser and curiouser.

A common practice in large construction projects is to use excavated dirt to compress the land. They take dirt excavated from elsewhere on the property and pile it up in a massive mound to help compress and compact the land that a future structure will be built on.
This was seen in the building of DCA and Grizzly River Run. Early in the process they piled huge amounts of excavated earth up on the plot of land Grizzly River Run was to be built. It sat there for several months, as this giant dirt mountain. Then, when they were ready to begin work on Grizzly, they carted that huge mound of dirt away and began building the foundation where the giant dirt mound once stood.
It gives them a solid and compacted footing to begin foundation work on a major structure, and helps eliminate settling and shifting of the structure in the future.
That may be what they are doing with this dirt mound in FLE; using it as a natural compactor to ready the land for work that is still more than a month away.

I knew there were going to be more thrills in this expansion, snow white mine car attraction is just the beginning.

You really did do a great job on this...I attempted it but could not get the major landmarks to lineup. :shrug:

"Project X" is nothing more than a second barnstormer with snow white figures and props around the track
