What’s the cleared land at Animal Kingdom for?

So the pending closing of Rafiki’s Planet watch got my husband and I checking out the maps to see if there might be other reasons besides budget cuts that would have caused the closure.

We were looking at google satellite images and saw a ton of cleared land between conservation way and e savannah circle just south affection section.

Sorry if it’s been asked or discussed before (I tried to search) but does anyone know what they’re doing there? It’s a pretty large section of land.

That area is prep land for horticulture and other things.

This area was originally a tree farm when they first started building the park. It was then going to be used for the Tiger River Run attraction which was cut from the park. It is now used as a storage area, and they also did the Avatar rockwork mockups back there.

What about all of the land that's been cleared that can be seen from 429?

If you mean this area, this will be third party hotels, restaurants, retail and an apartment complex that will be CM housing.
