Is WD's office still on display in OMD? An ashtray every two feet... :saywhat:

I'm pretty sure it got sent back to CA again.

I believe it went to the WDF Museum (I'm not 100% on that though)

That former backlot tour bridge is being removed... permits have been filed.

Stage 4 (Jack Sparrow building) will also be demolished to widen the walkway.

Cool cool cool. Figured they'd have to remove that bridge way.

But will removing the Sparrow building affect One Man's Dream? They're part of the same structure aren't they? Guess they could shorten the building, only losing the empty left side.

anyone willing to show on a map where these are? thanks in advance!

Shown here in red, small building where Jack Sparrow experience show was attached to One Man's Dream's larger building, and bridge connecting shoundstages to be removed. I'm sure more of the left side of the One Man's Dream building could be removed to widen the walkway to TSL, just highlighted the separate part that had Jack Sparrow in it.



Toy Story Land will be to left of this map image, Star Wars in bottom-left corner.

Walkway bridge and blue building to the right to be removed:

Excellent breakdown.

So I'm guessing that "themed wall" which is going up around the upper side of the site will continue on the left side just past the load/unload building. (notice the two footers in place along the roadway) So is that closed in area where the wall splits near the load/unload going to be an indoor queue?

Amazing update, great to see the progress being made, I assume you are uploading to the SWL thread too...

Based on concept art, the queue appears to be an open air facility, similar to a queue at your local Six Flags.

Notice the green overhang structure (this is actually the old concept art but the queue remained the same):

To me, that's the structure being built in front of the load/unload area, right? So what's that other enclosed open area for, an extended queue? We know capacity for this is going to suck, but I'm not sure how much queue would be needed.

I believe the enclosed open area is where the queue I referenced is being built.

also @Disneyhead called it with the second crane going in

Well there was a permit filed for it so if you knew where to look you knew it was coming. Danlb2000 over at Magic actually pulled the permits for these cranes about 2 months ago.

I've wondered myself if the enclosed building behind the load platform is just a large maintenance bay, and all of the queue is in the smaller buildings in front only.

Yes.

And I am trying to confirm if Disney actually bought a pair of tower cranes. They both appear to be brand new.

Oh, that building is definitely maintenance bay.

Disney actually demanded old cranes be repainted as they had "I SURVIVED DIAGON ALLEY" spray painted all over them.

These aerials really make you understand how small TSL is compared to what SWL will be.
