PHOTOS, VIDEO: Aerial View of Demolition at Disney’s Hollywood Studios for Star Wars, Toy Story

Earlier this week, we flew over Disney’s Animal Kingdom to give you a better look at the construction of Pandora: The World of AVATAR. Today, we take flight over Disney’s Hollywood Studios to view the wreckage and remains of the Streets of America and Backlot area of the park, with demolition now nearing completion. This land clearing is of course to make way for the Toy Story Land and Star Wars themed area coming to the park in the next few years:

The backdrop for the tank area at the Backlot Studio Tour remains, but a fair amount of it has been leveled.

Most of this area next to the cast parking garage will be Toy Story Land.
