Yes the water will be removed first and then filled with dirt to create the main construction area.It’s not the earth we’ll miss, it’s the water, and they may have to drain it first thing before they can do much else.
But I do hope it gets pushed back to 2026. lol
I agree expanding would be better than replacing, but not a 5th gate, just expand current parks. A 5th park is too much, you would start to lose revenue.
I think eventually there will be need for a fifth gate - but not yet. There is room to expand the parks, though I would prefer they do that into areas that don't have anything or are underutilized currently. Like, I wish the Monsters Inc. land was going in at Launch Bay/Animation Building, which really isn't much to speak of. Put something in the Wonders of Life pavillion or the empty Tomorrowland North building. That's what I find irritating. Of course, one could argue that Tom Sawyer Island is in fact underutilized, so I do get it. Still, I think they just ignore some low-hanging fruit sometimes.
Sad... but i spent almost 2 hours on the island last month, taking a bunch of pics, so i feel like i got my fill, but honestly there are probably millions of pics out there now that this is planned. lol
I plan on spending some time there next month.
