If I am not mistaken isn't that hotel they are currently building, the Art of Animation Resort the forgotten building.

Yeah, the first half of the Pop Century is being turned into the Art of Animation resort. 9/11 is what happened to it to begin with. When tourism took that hit, they halted construction.
I was glad to see this thread, and to see all of the information on these rides of the bygone days. I never got to experience any of them so it's nice to read about them.

Cranium Command looks the same as last year, Imageworks is gutted even more. Can't say much will be left of RC in the near future at all.

So does that mean they're going ahead with the DVC project that was rumored a while back? Or is it something completely different? (RC)
Questions only asked if you're liable to tell us, of course. :lookaroun

Something is going on there for sure. I have seen boats docked there on multiple occasions recently.

I thought somebody posted a permit filed for demo of RC a while ago?

Well sort of ....it was a permit for the moving of the horse barn at FW and it had the layout of the "phantom" DVC on it lol

aw man.
I'm so excited that I found these forums! Now I don't have to bother my friends with all my Disney talk! I'm not sure if this is where this question would belong, but I guess if they actually did close it it would eventually become abandoned (because Disney seems to not really clean up their messes and just leave them there- perhaps in hope that they'd just go away? river country.. pop century.. wand..
) Are they closing Toon Town in Magic Kingdom for the fantasyland expansion?

Already closed and demolished. Two of tents are being redone and re-purposed though.

That is exactly what they are. I have driven back there several times. I worked in one of the disney business centers for a week in january

The Simba puppet from the Lion King parade is apparently in front of a junkyard on Old Winter Garden Road.
The forehead piece is missing making him look more like a Terminator than a lion.

Upstairs ImageWorks has seen little change from August 2011 to January 2012. Some scaffolding went up around the light tunnel for a little while but that was it. Like Raven said, WOL stayed pretty much the same. Buzzy in his same condition. BodyWars all locked up and impossible to get to. Oh well.
When/why did they close BodyWars? I used to love going on that ride! Also, if it is all locked up, does that mean they are leaving up the possibility of using that type of ride technology in the future and just rebranding the ride?

The ride, along with the rest of the pavillion closed in 2007, I believe.
The simulators are no longer in working condition, and the facility will not reopen in its previous form.

I thought I read somewhere here that they had to adjust the shoreline to accommodate the decrease in the shoreline when they expanded the beach for the GF DVC. Something about code requiring them to keep the same volume for the body of water?

DVC. They've been picking at the area and taking measurements for so long now. Things are going to pick up.
