It's interesting they typically close the backstage roads near the launch sites during shows, yet for some reason they thought it would be okay to build one next to one of their largest roadways. That could have easily caused some cars to swerve out of the way resulting in an accident and potentially fatalities.
I always thought that land would be the perfect spot for Carsland anyways. Now that it's cleared they could use it for something else so it's not a total waste.
