Although I would like to see SEAS put the same level of commitment from Infinity Falls into this. Beautiful rock work, some trees, plenty of SHRUBBERY! and flowers. I feel like InvadR did about a 1/2 way job, FF did a 1/1000th the work. Do it right this time. Unless P2021 is that big.
 
To be fair, from what the construction updates are showing, it was way more field than forest over there

This is a very very rough estimate (don't have complete to scale overhead shots for a direct mapping), but it's been about 1.5 acres worth of trees that have been removed so far.
 
@warfelg I'm sure your an expert in this (not being sarcastic) but I think your estimates regarding tree relocation might be a bit high. Disney (they have the bucks) does that all the time. Some articles I've found Googling have rates of in the high hundreds/low thousands to transplant. I think a lot of trees that were removed are what I deem "lawyer trees" (too close to the track) and ”we need to get machinery in there" (obvious).

I understand in the leak "package" there was a landscape plan. I believe @Zachary or @Thomas posted it exists. Perhaps that would show where existing and "to be planted" trees and shrubs.

I've done a few in a park for relocation and I've gotten estimates for a relocation anywere from $15,000-$65,000. I'm a bit on the high side, but what makes buying one cheaper than moving one is the farm the mature trees come from grow them with "limited root systems". When you are moving one of your own, it's harder for the workers because you are trying to get enough of the root system to not kill the tree, while also not taking the whole root system is what tends to jack the price sky high because it's much more labor intensive.
 
Honestly, kinda shocked that this is the only thing going over there. I get it tho, it'd be really hard to fit more rides and a coaster in the area.
 
Any idea the codes on the plans @Thomas? I'm assuming there's a reference to what "AG" "CC" etc. denote. Appears to be a lot of planting and/or use of existing plantings.

And thanks for posting these. ?

I am in the business of acquiring documents, not interpreting them, sadly. Afraid I know nothing of such codes, but I'm sure somebody around here does. ;)

Generally what type of planting they expect it to be. If I'm tracing those lines right they all go to the plantings.

Sorry Thomas. Usually with plans is a key sheet, designating various items on the drawing. It would something like this attachment. But thanks for getting what you've posted.

I know that. I was hoping he got the key page so you could identify the plantings.
 
I'll look through what I have when I have a chance. My office setup and computer are currently in pieces though so.... It may be a bit. ?
 
No problem @Zachary and @Thomas is more of a curiosity thing as I'm done with coming up with names, color schemes, height, speed, etc.

The way things have been lately, if you found it, we'd see arguments about the virtues of elm over an oak, etc.
