We haven't gotten anything at Parkscope. So who knows.

 

[Teebin]

Aaah! So you are part of Parkscope team then? Anyone else from here?

No forum. We link articles to the proper OU thread for discussion.

Yup. Testtrack321 posts for us as well.

I love it here. Definitely the most mature discussion on the internet regarding Orlando parks. We've just always want a site of our own as well.

I've definitely been impressed. Most chat forums peeps would be all up on other people and crap. I enjoy conversation with you guys and speculating about random stuff!

I second this. It's the whole reason I joined this forum. I'd been lurking around sites for a while, but this one just grabbed me.

Awesome! Because from what I understand we will see a lot of vertical awesomeness happening by the end of July.

What are those metal things stacked up? Any idea?

 

[Andy]

Thats exactly what I was hoping someone could tell me :wave:

 

[Teebin]

^ Thanks for taking all the great pictures! (btw, I hate the unstoppable slideshow presentation. I wanna click on a thumb and stay locked in the big pics with left right arrows to see the next)

Those steel thingys are temporary wall braces of some kind... possibly submerged wall bracing for setting shorefront walls. Kind of like braces for basement walls up north but this is more florida centric. Note the loops at the end of each one. Looks like something to be secured to the subsurface with giant 'nails' or posts.

Regardless, the steel thingys are old, used and rusty. They are temporary construction 'braces' of some kind. Above is just my best guess, knowing what is coming.

 

[ReelJustice]

At first glance, I thought it was rebar, but yeah, I'll go with Teebin.

Not surprising news... but Mr. Praying Mantis has told me that security fences started going up behind DC over to Sinbad today.

Was only a matter of time. It was driving me crazy not knowing though.
