News Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge - Historical Construction/Impressions

[SSG]

I'd like to point out that in this picture you'll notice TWO blue EZ ups, several men wearing white hates and orange vests, and lots of large black pipes./QUOTE]

The guy on the left is working on a Findlay sprinkler head with a Langstrom 7″ gangly wrench.

Constance, you're not alone in never really knowing what you're looking at. I, too, see these construction pictures and lack the ability to see what they're leading to. It's all pretty generic to me.

And thanks to all the people who know what we're looking at and can tell me what it is. I'm a little less lost after seeing your posts.

More construction pics to puzzle at. It appears as though Constance's Gigantic Dirt Mound is being picked away and something (a wall?) is being erected behind the Fantasyland Theatre.

Structural steel and wood forms (probably for a concrete pour), together with the permit issued yesterday (1,200 Ln.f x 20' high of New Structural Steel For Rock Work) suggests that Disney wants to get river up and running ASAP.

It's amazing the progress. I'll have to go down there today to see. Has Florida even broken ground yet?

Well sort of. Apparently demolition began a few weeks ago.

It doesn't seem like much does it?

I'm guessing DL has to be ahead because
1. They have a whole lot more work to do with the DLRR, re-routing RoA, and the new rock-work that is going along with that and;
2. DL's SWL has been said to open at least 6 months before DHS'. Don't know if that was the initial plan, but it appears that December 2018 seems to be looking good for SWL in DL.
I'm wondering, is this

this wall?

I believe that someone said that this wall would block the view from Fantasyland into SWL. The Micechat map is proving quite accurate, was wondering if this could be the case or if my perspective is just off.

Seems like a reasonable guess to me @ctrlaltdel

Oh, I hadn’t heard about a wall. I bet you’re right. Blocking SWL from view will help with the angst of STAR WARS IN WALT'S PARK!!!!!!!!!!!

Something just blew my mind.

Was the Skyway building to the right of the Fantasyland theater in this picture?!

Seems like a piece of junk to me.

Okay, time to come clean. How long have you been dabbling in magic?

 

[mickEblu]

Why a wall and not trees? Or maybe trees and a wall?

I would guess both. Trees on the FL side and alien planet theming on the other.

We need a wall separating Star Wars Land from Fantasyland, and I have a plan to make the Ewoks pay for it.

Well, it just got 10 ft higher.

And it's gonna be great. It's going to be so winning. Star Wars is going to win BIG TIME.
