If you have spent the last week wondering why they needed all of those International Harvester heavy graders for from day four, then this photo is for you. They were to smooth over and flatten the land, once the swamp was removed … as in the above photo. To create a blank palette for the artists to create Walt’s Magic Kingdom upon.
I wonder if it would be possible to do a “then and now” photo matchup, or if today’s structures make that impossible. It would be fascinating though!
That would be cool. When things mellow out later this month, I’ll have a look through our WDW Photo Collection to see if I can match anything up. In the meantime, if any DHI readers have something that would fill that request, please let us know. Thanks.
