An overview of the site this afternoon.	6.10.16

Panning from left to right. Starting with the large dirt pile on the former ranch site.	6.10.16

A lot of work going on in the area closest to the structure today.	6.10.16

The archway and tree that were in the middle of the site are no longer there. Assuming they were moved since they were saved for so long seems if they were just going to demo them it would have happened quicker. Also note the Skyway building is still there.	6.10.16

Hard to tell but there are a lot of markers out there and variations in depth now.	6.10.16

You can see the bare dirt goes down a ways along the tramway. They have removed all the buildings and the fenceline is just short of the emergency entrance gate along the tramway near Magic Way.	6.10.16

A look toward Critter Country from a different vantage point on the structure.	6.10.16

A path cut into the dirt, could that be the new turn for the river?	6.10.16

A closer look back toward the middle of the site. Notice all the markers now.	6.10.16

Thought this was interesting, they dug down quite a bit from the old level. Notice the cart and where the railing level is on the old Big Thunder trail.	6.10.16

No visible change at the Skyway building. Expecting one week when I show up it will just be gone.	6.10.16

A large number of trucks were idle this afternoon	6.10.16

Another wide shot of the area	6.10.16

A team out looking at something. Helps with the scale and notice the elevation changes.	6.10.16

Earth movers are working the tract of land along the tram way this afternoon.	6.10.16

To help get a sense of the trench look at the bulldozer going in.	6.10.16

It backed up, look at its size and the people for scale.	6.10.16

Interesting to watch a line of workers direct the bulldozer	6.10.16

Here you can see the fenceline goes past the Pooh show building. Guessing they will rebuild the backstage buildings in some form.	6.10.16

Moving into the park. The view from the end of the Big Thunder Trail.	6.10.16

Panning across the site from right to left.	6.10.16

A team meeting on top of the dirt mountain.	6.10.16

Approaching Critter Country.	6.10.16

The view from the canoe dock.	6.10.16

No clue what the mounds are for or from.	6.10.16

Notice the walkway under the Hungry Bear looks like it is missing part of the path right at the bottom of the stairs now.	6.10.16

That is important because now the stairs are blocked off so the nice unobstructed view of the work is gone.	6.10.16

So that means back to shots through the double mesh which look like this.	6.10.16

	6.10.16

Took a hike up the Treehouse. Not much visible from up here.	6.10.16

Just the mound of dirt in comparison to Big Thunder.	6.10.16

Fencing is now up in Fantasyland around the Skyway building. So the end is closer now.	6.10.16
