Disney's Buena Vista Street Construction

For fun I grabbed my GoPro Hero2 and decided to grab a clip of the construction happening on the all new Buena Vista Street going in at Disney's California Adventure park!

What you're looking at is a slow motion video looking away from the turnstiles from Monorail Red as it passes over the renovated bridge. Originally shot at 120fps the clip was slowed down to 24fps for a nice smooth slow motion.

You'll notice my reflection in the window and how low it is. That's because Disney put up pretty large barricades so you can't see all of the construction. To get the shot I had to hold the GoPro at the very, very top of the monorail window and put it in to wide angle view. Even then you can still see some of the barricade in the shot!

We'll work on getting the reverse shot pointed towards the turnstiles in the next couple of days. This was captured on December 25th, 2011 at around 11:30am PST.

For reference, this is the image of what it is expected to look like when it is finished from about the same vantage point as what I captured in the video. You can see the monorail in the shot at the very bottom and the theater at the top.
