Breaking News: Construction Walls Surround Rock'n'Roll Beach Club & Motion

They were visible as soon as I crossed the #2 Bridge from the main parking lot onto Pleasure Island. There were construction walls up next to Rock'n'Roll Beach Club! One of our readers yesterday posted in the Comments section of the Blog that the walls were imminent. He was right; the walls went up early today! The view above is from the PI water taxi stop looking inland with RRBC to the left.

Continuing inland, this is the view across from PI Live Bar looking towards Sosa Cigars. Pleasure Island sources say PI Live Bar's days are numbered. It's certainly not in any of the concept art pieces released.

Very reminesent of the Berlin Wall, the PI Wall left a small sliver of patio space on the side of Sosa Cigars but took away all their rear patio space.
Say goodbye forever to Rock'n'Roll Beach Club.

A walkway between Sosa Cigars and Raglan Road allows bathroom access but club Motion is now completely cut off from pedestrians.

When you gotta go, you gotta go. Bathroom access.

A broader evening view from Paradiso 37 looking down Hill Street towards the PI Wall. If you're local and don't already have PI photos, you might want to stop by this weekend. The end of these two dance clubs is very, very near!

And so it begins.... It feels like that moment in Lord of the Rings when the big tower fell!

And then we'll have more over-priced restaurants! Hooray!

Anon 11:22 - Brilliant observation!

Probably have to see this in person to get the full effect, but I can't imagine Fuego is happy with this situation. Is their large "back" patio (the one closest to Motion) totally gone now? Even if not, sort of destroys the ambiance having a wall tight there.

At least now maybe people will quit asking what time the clubs open. (Still happened a half dozen times a night as of last weekend.)

I'm so mad....but..what can you do? DAMN MOUSE! Oh well.... There was always still a glimore of hope... NOT Anymore.... DAMN MOUSE! The memories will always live on though... DAMN MOUSE! Excited to see something/anything open again on the island... DAMN MOUSE! Bring on the Wharf... DAMN MOUSE!

KingBob said...

Jeff, rumor has it that Universal may try to do something with Lord of the Rings as an encore to Harry Potter. Do people still read that story though?

Starbucks can be found at CityWalk.

Hey Zulemara, maybe that deputy knows something. Would be awesome if they reopened 8TRAX! That's what we're asking for.

71, the side seating area is very tiny with the wall right there and the rear area was basically eliminated. Is Fuego happy about this? I'm sure they're being compensated. And they should at least be happy that after 2.25 years, something is finally happening!

DAMN MOUSE!

No last pic over the wall of Funmeister before he's in the dumpster Bob?

KingBob said...

Yes, I did take a picture of the Funmeister over the wall however he was not lit up and the picture was too dark to post. Hope to get some daytime shots to post this weekend.

zulemara said...

I wasn't presenting his statement as fact or even rumor. I just found it funny that he made such a statement when we all know that is not likely to happen.

Aren't you the one who said the mannequins are gone inside mannequins? Didn't bob show a clear picture of the mannequin hanging by the smoking exit on 2nd floor? I'm sorry, who can't prove what again?

"I wasn't presenting his statement as fact or even rumor."
so why did you say it then ???? HMMMMM?

zulemara yes I am the one who said the Mannequins where not still there and i said i was wrong as well!
this is what I was told by a CM! and that is what "they" heard from Disney uppers!

I said it because I thought maybe some people would get, you know, a bit of humor out of a OCS officer saying something like that. Was it really necessary to come out and attack me? See did ya notice how I specified that I said to him "don't we wish." Typically that would indicate that I was CLEARLY not in agreement with his statement. Had I been in agreement, I would have said "an OCS officer says 8-trax is reopening, woo hoo!"

Do you even read posts? or do you just look for something from me and attack it? I'm sorry, maybe you have some sort of disability, that's what a CM told me who heard from the "uppers"

Anonymous said...

zulemara I didn't attack you(r) statement! seam like your attacking me! saying that i have a disability and if I did? so NO one can have a disability HUH? your perfect?
yes I read everything posted on here!
you are NOT the only one i make comments about. it's all about you I guess!
I made a comment about Jeff if you read this post! so do you read these posts? if you did you would have seen this fact

"that's what a CM told me who heard from the "uppers"" this is called a disability???? ok tell me what is wrong with this statement!

Anonymous said...

it's a conspiracy Zule! there after you LOOK out behind you!

zulemara said...

"hey zulemara more rumors! more that you can not prove! "

how is that not distinctly trying to pick a fight?

KingBob said...

OK guys, let's end it. We all have something in common and you know what that is. So no more bickering.

Anonymous said...

trying to point out that are things some say that can NOT be proving. you took as an attack and or now as fight! no I didn't intend to "pick a fight"
you need to realize that you are not the only one who hears things about Disney (PI) Jeff,71,Tight glove,Brian,funmeister,Virtual Toad,Bill,KingBob and others hears things! oh yeah Anonymous as well! some might back you because of who you are!? and some because they don't want to tick you of (I guess) stay on your good side!?
I have not done any name calling
MOVE ON!
look at Jeff I said something about how Lord of the Rings wasn't real he made a comment and moved on why can't you? like i said before you are not the only one i made a comment about! ask you again do you read this blog? or just want you want to read?

Anonymous said...

OK KingBob
I was just pointing out something.then he acts like I can't say anything he doesn't like and when i do I have a disability!? what the heck? I am sorry I kept it going on this long! just making a point and answering his questions! after trying to make me look.....

Anonymous said...

I have go with the last Anon on this one!
Zule. you asked some questions he tried to answer your questions then you seam to be mad? I don't see that as an attack. myself. I think he is tired of the rumors! and some want proof and very few have it! if that?
I very offended by his disability statement! so people of disability can't post. I have friends that are really disabled. I am sure they have a point to make as well! your thoughtlessness of people of this nature hurts! I just hope you are never disabled someday!
I would say just delete all of both of there posts but then that could be censorship?
as long as there is no cursing and or some making a claim of liability or threats.

zulemara said...

ugh, you guys obviously don't pick up on sarcasm. My point is that it is as ridiculous to claim someone has a disability based on the internet as it is to state something as fact(IE mannequins being out of mannequins) based on a cm's friend who heard from the "uppers" or however the story went.

and who made the claim I am the only one that hears anything about Disney? OMG IT WAS A COMMENT BY A POLICE OFFICER THAT I THOUGHT WAS FUNNY!

Your response was an attack on my credibility and completely unwarranted given I made NO CLAIM of FACT OR RUMOR!!! IT WAS A FRICKIN COMMENT!

You attack my credibility at every opportunity and I'm sick of it. I guess when I SEE SOMETHING WITH MY OWN EYES, I get kinda pissed off that someone who posts under anonymous makes claims of fact based on a friend of some higher up making a statement!

Do you realize that for nearly a year the mannequins garage door was unlocked??? maybe, JUST MAYBE, someone pushed the button and took those pictures! Or maybe someone stepped over a little chain to see mannequins still hanging!

Until you go to PI and roam it weekly looking for every little change, stop attacking the credibility of those who do so!
