At center of this aerial photo are the Walt Disney World fireworks storage bunkers. West of Magic Kingdom. Also at center, to the right, is a sand mine. Sand for development of Piston Peak and Villain's land. The mine eventually becomes a lake, connected by canal.

In this aerial photo of the Villain's land site a tree at right is being prepared for transplanting. It will be moved to the left, with other trees that used to be in the forest along Rivers of America. It's likely these trees will be moved again. Perhaps as Piston Peak theming.
