Maybe more will be up tomorrow. Also, what does each color represent, cause I’m not familiar with them?

There is an orange streamer wrapped around a tree, but unclear to me if tree streamer colors have any surveying significance. @FullSailDan Do tree streamers follow the same rulebook?

The survey markers aren't really telling to me. The fact that they're already clearing is pretty suspicious though. I mean what's the hurry about?

So if we start seeing white or red soon... A full demolition could probably be expected sooner than we think?

My family and I spent two days at Dollywood a couple of weeks ago. It was a very nice theme park and we had a good time. But, trust me, the Disney difference most definitely still exists. Without question.
Not when you measure it against themselves from 15-20 years ago. Now I feel they’re just patronizing you when they tell you to have a magical day.

Exactly. Disney won’t confirm a closure or cancellation, but will have a live stream and fan meet for the latest cupcake release. I mean I get it, but it’s also frustrating to fans who actually pay attention. It’s no wonder so many applaud Disney’s every move.

...full speed off the cliff. Eventually we’ll have a diagnosis.

Found out our friend was scheduled to again work on-stage at RPW this fall, but that obviously will not be happening. Not sure what this means for that person now, haven't heard much lately since we've been at DLP until recently and have been rather out-of-touch.

Zootopia doesn’t lend itself well to a theme park land. The world is too generic for a land to be interesting (similar to Toy Story).

Did we watch the same movie? I'm an AK purist and neither Indy or Zootopia would be the death knell of the park. Unpopular opinion but I think people have taken their own interpretation of the theme and meaning of the park and insist they know what works and what doesn't. It's also a theme park at the end of the day. We're so quick to dismiss something we just can't visualize working. Let's not forget how dismissed Pandora was and it fits great in the park, even if some still want to beat the drum it doesn't. I think we also tend to put our own likes and dislikes on thinks we think don't fit a park. Again, it's a theme park for entertainment at the end of the day. Yes I want on theme. I want non-IP lands and attractions. But neither Indy or Zootopia would kill the park. Neither would bugs having flat rides. Does that mean I'm advocating for either of them here? Not really. But I wouldn't cry the park is ruined if they came. I think some are being a bit overdramatic when it comes to things that "fit". I think many are too set in their opinions on what the park should be and they use "theme" as a way to suggest they know what's best.

Instead of people going on about fitting the theme, just say "I don't want these in the park" and leave it at that ;) because that's what it's really about.

People suggested Frozen into DHS. I don't think it fits. I love DHS but it's also why I have a problem with the idea of a movie park where you can just shove in any movie and it "works". I don't agree. So we all have our own opinions on the parks. This is mine, not telling anyone how to think :)
