Streets of America Development Watch (no longer DEMO)

[danlb_2000]

Is that courthouse building still up ? I am sure I read earlier on twitter (before it went down) that they were starting to take it down.

Yes it is coming down...

I wonder if they could relocate the main Muppet giftshop to Writer's Stop, expand it behind the facades (and thus create an actual building there) and then use the existing gift shop building for a new attraction?

Thank you @danlb_2000 is this the last thing to come down now ?

I think they would be very smart to use Muppets to add a few small kiddie rides/family rides. It would add more love for Muppets if it helps fill a niche in the park....

I believe so.

A Muppets carousel would be nice and not take up that much room.

More demolition at Disney's Hollywood Studios. Steel frame used to be City Hall in Streets of America.

I can't believe how empty this looks

You should stand at TSMM. Seeing how much empty space there is just between it and Muppets is crazy. Thats just half of it.

Looks like that pond is getting filled in based on the new aerials.

Yep looks like it. I really thought this was something that would have had to be in the water management permits, especially since the LMA permits showed the other part of the canal being filled in and re-routed underground.

If u look hard enough you can find it. Check page 22 of the sfwmd plans you posted a link to on the first post of the DHS permits thread. You will see some drainage connecting at the box culvert at the top of that canal and draining out to the perimeter canal (u402). I wd attach it except I'm not that forum savvy yet .

 

[Darth Blackhawk]

Can't believe how much it has changed...

interesting how they literally took it down brick by brick, rather than just using a wrecking ball

 

[Goofyernmost]

I don't think it was brick by brick, I even doubt if it was brick, however, it does seem like they have taken a great deal of caution to preserve the steel part of the structure. Interesting.

The steel part of the structure is gone now. There was supposedly utility connections in the building so they likely had to take it apart carefully to protect these.

Makes sense! Everyone seems to think that all that is involved with taking down a building is just cutting through some steel beams and it all just flops down in a neat little pile that can be swept up with a dustpan. Nothing to it!

Really sad that this is all that's left....still, the future looks bright
