Area of Kids WB Fenced Off

I'm hoping it will be a new ride or something but it is most likely to remove the hut, which is a positive. I do hope its a flat and not a coaster however as if it is, then it will mean 6/7 of the past additions would be coasters (DCR, SR, WoO Boomerang 1, WoO Boomerang 2, SFC and another coaster) with Marvin being the exception. 

Yes I would rather JDS to be removed and replaced with a LT dark ride similar to LTRR but that wont happen. I don't like how all LT is reserved for kids rides only so it would be good for a family LT ride.

Been a while since ive been in that area (letalone the park), but is the colour in carrot still there?

Yeah the carrots were removed many years ago. I remember at the time there was an online community petitioning to keep them - there was a website and everything and I think it had cast member connections to it as well. 

This thread from August 2007 shows the demolition

For a while now i'd thought the rundown shack the subject of this thread had formerly been a carrot... they have the same basic shape - but looking back now I don't think it was...

They are just removing the hut - Dont get too excited! 

Yeah - gotta be honest, it looked like shit so i'm also excited they're removing it. It's interesting that they're doing it without any apparent plans for the area so i'll be keen to see what they do with the space once it's gone.

Marvin's footprint takes up about 40sqm. The space between the HWSD exit doors and the hut is quite a bit larger than that - however i'm not sure whether it's viable - and would depend on what they use the space behind first aid for -

The hut is connected to another structure, which is also connected to first aid.

The hut shares a common wall with first aid. The entire building is used by that department.

I'm keen to see what they do with the space - this wasn't part of their Oz\Marvin announcements so it sounds like a park refresh more than a new ride - but i'd be ok with a seating area as WB Kids does lack a nice spot to sit while the kids run amok (the area next to tweety was never big enough, and Marvin took out the little space at the back, so it's needed now more than ever)

I'm wondering about the wall though - what was in front of it before, that it wasn't painted like the rest?

thanks for the reminder. Google actually has street view in Movie World -

Looks like we may have lost the pencil pines over the back but the big bushy trees near the front look like they're still there. 

The big pine right beside the hut is obviously gone, and i'm not sure how I feel about that. It gave some great shade in that area, and was likely an original park planting... i'm keen to see what they are planning for this area...
