To alleviate any doubt as to whether the construction is for T-Rex, Disney have now installed a series of banners all around the wall stating it is indeed for T-Rex, and that it opens Summer 2008.

How big is the area that has been blocked off? Because when I looked at it on Windows Live Local it did not appear to be large enough an area to hold a restaurant.

Yep its fairly small. This place is going to have quite a smallish footprint, not sure how high its going to be though.

Interesting....

I would have thought a better location would be at the end of the West Side, there is alot of open space next to House of Blues and Cirque du Soleil.

Not the last couple days it's not. Part of the parking lot has been taken over now

I just checked Google Earth & they don't show anything there, Windows Live Local still shows a small area. :shrug:

Awesome!

Thanks for the info. I actually think this is a good choice because it will allow some re-routing of that bottleneck. I'm sure they'll have some water elements, so hopefully it will reinforce the "Island" part of PI a bit more.

Windows Live isn't live at all. A lot of the trees have been gone for over a week and part of the parking lot has been blocked off for days.

How much of the parking lot would you say has been blocked off?

Could one of you clever in-the-know folks get a screen capture on local.live.com and then draw in an outline of exactly what area is walled off?

Next summer? They have a long way to go and a short time to get there.

I don't know about clever. But I think I can help.

I believe this to be pretty close to how much of the parking lot is bunkered off.
I usually go at night so there may be more trees gone than I have dotted.

I'll be down at Disney and Universal starting Saturday, Oct. 20, and returning Friday. Oct. 26.

Let me see if I can get when I'm down there.
