Cranes, lots of them, dominate the skyline above the “Star Wars” land construction zone at Disneyland.
On site we spotted Mr. Crane Rough Terrains, a Bigge Crane and Rigging Lattice Boom Truck Crane, an Inquipco Rough Terrain Crane and a Crane Rental Service Telescopic Mobile Truck Crane.
While there is still a lot of dirt visible in the construction zone, more concrete walls and tunnels were taking shape in the new land, including the new route for the Disneyland Railroad.

Cranes tower over all of the “Star Wars” land construction activities at Disneyland. It was hard to tell if members of the Rebellion or the Empire were operating all the cranes in Anaheim on Wednesday, October 19, 2016. (Photo by Mark Eades, Orange County Register/SCNG)
One of the access tunnels to “Star Wars” land appears to be complete at Disneyland, except for theming. The Disneyland Railroad will ride over the top of this tunnel. Or it could be an entrance to a secret Rebel base. Time will tell in this land that will be from a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away in Anaheim on Wednesday, October 19, 2016.

The big pit for what will be a show building in “Star Wars” land is getting the white wash treatment. If the Rebellion was trying to hide it, painting it white didn’t help their cause, but if the Empire painted it white to camouflage their stormtroopers, it’s working in Anaheim on Wednesday, October 19, 2016.
