Old Amity sea wall being cut up and removed piece by piece:

Thanks Reel. Now the fun stuff begins. Will it become Albert Embankment or something else?

The new wall is taller and has giant concrete pillars. I guess it could pass for Albert Embankment.

I know they'd never do it, but it'd be cool if the waterfront looked like the Tower Bridge.

Really... really? The day they do that will be the day I start chatting on NASA's forum.

i'm kinda suprised no one has gotten any shots over the walls that went up by sinbad... but maybe nothing exciting going on over there yet?? i would be kinda curious to see how much landscaping etc they've removed so far..

Certainly looks close to that. Those light fixtures sure are purty.

 

[Teebin]

^ Let me show you something that looks even closer, cofferdam and all! Circa 1915

(btw, this is Albert Embankment under construction)

They are indeed.:thumbs:

Set back 50' from the embankment wall centered would be a recreation of this statue of St. George slaying the Dragon. Just going for foreshadowing and irony...

Photo op!

That's too great not to recreate.

 

[ReelJustice]

Replace the dragon with a shark :look:

 

[Parkscope Joe]

So we'll have two St George's statues in Orlando then? :rofl:
