The shops on the lagoon side of the walkway are now gone. I bet they will have it cleaned up and ready to be used as a viewing are for the lagoon show

shame though to be expected, kong was basically destroyed with little to nothing kept.
the idea of a universal "museum" ala the lucy tribute it a great idea but really a pipe dream

Almost completely gone,
Is it me or is the fact that the Jaws boat house / service house is still not distoryed give me hope that they are distorying the rest of the island to rebuild a better Amity / Jaws ride?
If it is me, then I am pretty sure that they are going to build Harry Potter V.2. :'(

Well something to consider is if they leave or somehow reuse parts of old structures they get a HUGE tax break. While its a brand new attraction it actually goes on the books as a refurbishment. Or at least something to that effect. They did the same thing with just about every other attraction thats opened in the last decade. Another thing is its possible they still have work to do. They could be tearing things down and prepping them for shipment to Osaka. Yeah its doubtful but if anything was scrapped it was the fleet.
But in the end don't look for either structure to last much longer.

When I was there this past week, walking through that area between the construction walls, it was borderline unsettling. All that blue sky instead of the surrounding buildings. It was very strange and so quiet. I took some pics of Bruce and went on my way...

It is indeed very odd and depressing to walk through there. It looks so empty and just blah.
Permit to relocate the Bruce/Jaws photo op? http://or.occompt.com/recorder/eagl...9781.pdf?id=DOC933S2339.A0&parent=DOC933S2339
So so so... will the docks disappear and be pulled back to solid ground? If they don't disappear, will the pilings be rethemed? My guess would be pulling out the pilings and then have half of the dock areas be poured concrete and reshape the shore to a more curvy design. Any additions on top this area cannot be grossly ye oldeeeeeee; even though Amity was a grossly false New England.
An amphitheater would be nice. Perfect viewing location for Cinematic Spectacular.
Could you facilitate that? Please? :smiley:
EDIT: Nevermind, I found it. Sorry!
Ok, so looking at the plan it doesn't look like an amphitheater.
