PI Update: Amphitheater Still Coming?

This is one of the pieces of concept art that was released a few years ago in conjunction with the Hyperion Wharf project.  It depicts an outdoor amphitheater area just to the east of the Pleasure Island water taxi dock entrance (currently where the PI bypass connects) and just to the west of The Boat House restaurant location, which the Save Pleasure Island Blog described then as "a lighthouse type restaurant".  Will this be a part of Disney Springs too?
I didn't get a good look at the construction because of my night visit but I'm told there are some circular elements to what is being built.  Would certainly be a great addition for live bands and DJ's!  Studying the concept art also shows several lighted round columns which at the time were described by the Blog as "magical", dispensing information during the day but coming alive at night with displays that moved to the music!  And there's that Mickey LED display too.  Hope this is all still coming!

This blog is kind of like my golf game, there's always that one shot that keeps you coming back, but the reality is, it's not going to get any better.

Assume you're referring to Pleasure Island, and not this Blog.

Not everything about Hyperion Wharf was bad. The spotlights, l.e.d. Mickey and the proposed sound of generators being turned on are great ideas. What was bad was the closing of the clubs. It was totally unnecessary and provoked a lot of ill will from guests. The people did not want the clubs to close. I don't care what the claimed surveys showed. You can word surveys to give you the answers you're looking for and target your audience (ie stroller crowd). Those who made Tagus poor business decision are partly responsible for Universal's growing market share.

Sorry, Tagas = that. iPhone miscorrected.
