Maybe it's being used to test sight lines from the Studios? The slinky dog coaster seems like it's high enough that they had to theme the top of a nearby building in the concept art. Sight lines from new Hollywood Studios parking garage? Something of height from Star Wars Land? I didn't look detailed enough to see if any of this is feasible.

Not knowing anything about the heights of the various balloons, is it possible they flew balloons at various heights just so they could see the heights to a certain point, even if they will not necessarily use them? Example, let's see a four story height, even though we are only planning two just so we can see scale, etc.
That said, perhaps they will tear down the tennis courts, and build an arcade area, or maybe even a third, indoor mini golf facility.

That was my first thought as well. Seeing from a different angle makes me think DHS. Have no clue for sure.

That actually makes sense.
If you raised balloons to the proper height of the fireworks at the launch area then they'd be crazy high (and blowing in the wind making it hard to judge).
Of course, the fireworks launch site seems like it's a kind of "done deal" so it'd be a little late for them to start doing line-of-sight tests for it.
It also seems pretty unlikely that they'd build anything of that height at the point where the balloons are going up.
It could just be a way to screw with people on this board
"Hey.. Let's put up some sight balloons and see how long it takes for the forums to start speculating..."

they may be minimum height for the low launches as seen from in front of the GMR and echo lake?

The world's first ever multilevel miniature golf.

4D Golf! It'll be multi-level (3D) but spit water and little jets of air at your periodically. That way you're fully immersed.

[QUOTE="Useful suggestion? Build a structured parking garage for DHS to free up land space for the park.[/QUOTE]
Since speculation is that the new Star Wars Land will extend into area currently used for DHS employee parking, this might be an alternative parking area for employees.

Yep - KISS method.

Maybe, but I though there was a strong rumor that employee parking would be shifted to the other side of World Drive from DHS with a pedestrian bridge. That is, a parking structure north of the fireworks launch site.

It must be related to the Studios, then, right?

Unless it's something for the Swolphin.

Sounds like a reasonable guess to me. Timing is right. And you wouldn't want to be able to see the garage from Boardwalk or Yacht and Beach. Doubt they care much about Swolphin sight lines.

Curiouser and curiouser. Can't think of any other option besides a new hotel tower or some sort of backstage facility.
