rtguy007 74 Posted August 15, 2017 Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 Its hard to tell but it appears there is some type of construction equipment in River Country. I dont recall exactly what it looked like before but I dont see much of the rock walls back there anymore. I saw this from the boat to the MK and it was hard to get a clear image of it. They may be working on leveling what is/was left back there. If I can I will take the bike back there to see if I can see anything through the fence. I could also be suffering from heat exhaustion as well so that could be it as well. BradyBzLyn...Mo 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted August 15, 2017 Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 That would be big news if it's true. They filled the old pool with dirt last summer, and the old fake rocks are continuing to disintegrate on their own, but I haven't heard of any work being done to level anything.

fotofx....Steve 34 Posted August 15, 2017 Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 It may have been discussed before but I recently noticed the building that housed the showers and restrooms is now part of the backyard BBQ. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, that has been discussed here, and has been the case for at least 5 years, going back to when they tore down the old Pop's Place quick serve and made a courtyard/waiting area out of its footprint.

rtguy007 74 Posted August 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 What was back there looked like a really small crane from a distance. Have not had time to run back and investigate. Hopefully by the end of tonight. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rtguy007 74 Posted August 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 Also the guy that got on discovery island a few months back that we talked about also got into river country about the same time. Here is the youtube video and you can see where the pool was filled in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted August 15, 2017 Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 You can see the filled-in pool for yourself pretty easily through the cracks in the fence. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PghBob 31 Posted August 15, 2017 Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 I think the videographer is stupid for climbing on some of the structures that he did. It looks like some of the things will come down in a strong wind (although there have been strong winds there and they are still standing). Structures that have been ignored for as long as they have in RC can't be too stable. I imagine he made it out OK if the video was posted, but talk about taking unnecessary chances with your life. You only get one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
keith_h 420 Posted August 15, 2017 Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 I wonder how many ticks he picked up walking through all of the vegetation? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rtguy007 74 Posted August 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2017 I can 100% confirm something is going on. We just passed again on the boat and there is some crane or ligh lift piece of construction equipment back there. I will try and grab a picture when we get back over to the MK here shortly.

LONE-STAR 370 Posted August 17, 2017 Report Share Posted August 17, 2017 They need a bulldozer instead of a crane at least a trackhoe. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It is a new light from what I remember. The normal orange hue light was over there as well but hidden by the trees when I was able to snap that pic. This particular one is a really bight white and as you can see on the lake puts a large reflection on it. I do have one other pic that you can see both lights theough the trees but the image provider I was using is having upload issues. Will post it when I can. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
keith_h 420 Posted August 17, 2017 Report Share Posted August 17, 2017 I can't tell from the pics but could it be a conveyor? If they are doing demo work they could be crushing concrete and rock to remove it. It would also work to move fill into an area where dump trucks can't go. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ImDownWithDisney 342 Posted August 17, 2017 Report Share Posted August 17, 2017 That's an extendable boom crane with a folding jib attachment. Looks like they are about to do some lifts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
