What's this an image of?

[fngoofy]

I noticed this when reading about the rock work at the STOL port. There was a link to the area on GoogleMaps and while looking at it I noticed this.

I've used GM to look that the parks many times, but have never noticed this.

If it isn't a messed up image, it looks like foundations from an old ferry landing??

It's an overlap of the TTC buildings. Just a messed up image.

I was thinking the old wave machine but it does look like a shadow image of TTC. Good call!

It would have to be some sort of digital artifact. If it was that shallow to show up on satalite, it would probably be hit by the ferries that dock right infront of it.

Lost city of Atlantis attraction that never came to fruition?

Soooo... the first TTC sank?

"So I built a second one. That sank into the swamp. So I built a third. That burned down, fell over, then sank into the swamp. But the fourth one stayed up. And that's what you're going to get, Lad, the strongest TTC in all of Orlando." :ROFLOL:

Thank you, far less creepy than "20ft Under the Lagoon" buildings.

Bit tricky for the ferry to come in if it was a bulding under the lake Would be going over 2-3 foot of water haha

But I don't want any of that...I'd rather...I'd rather...sing!

Satellite images need to be "geo-corrected" to align with the real-life position. It's likely a digital artifact left from the original un-corrected photo. The satellite that takes the photo is orbiting at fairly high speeds relative to the ground it's photographing, it geotags each image, but that geotag is not perfectly accurate. To be perfectly accurate, the satellite would need to measure its exact altitude relative to the ground at that instant, while technically possible, it would be very expensive. Easier to correct the image on receipt.

Lol. Just a matter of time.
