Aerial photo of Villain's land site preparation near The Haunted Mansion show building. • A recently made steep cliff at top center. • Earthmoving near the queue. This sand is from the Seven Seas Lagoon excavation. Moved here as a plateau, around the Magic Kingdom Utilidor.

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.
