I actually wouldn't be opposed to a land with giant sized air fresheners that smell like pine trees. I think Disney missed an opportunity with Cars Land.

One of our forum contributors, @Andysol,who actually works as a high level management job for a corporation that installs systems to alleviate this
odor problem, commented on this issue back when the land was purchased and developed by Universal. He indicated that there are industry means to
eliminate the odors completely. If he's correct, the issue should have been alleviated before the park opened. Some municipal officials probably dropped the ball.

$45m was set aside to upgrade the plant and stuff related to Sunrail/Brightline extension. 2-3 years later thats not been done. Beauracracy moves slower. At the end of the day this wall probably solves multiple problems, one of which includes the smell which is sporadic. maybe they foresee upgrades not being done before they have guests in an expansion area 900ft from the plant. I can't speak for what berk is like but that eastern flank seems quite exposed so a false tree line painted green with mural trees may help. Plus a wall may partially prevent stardust valleying again

I've read many, many trip reports from Epic and I have to say barely any mentioned the smell from the treatment plant, I guess it all depends on which way the wind is blowing of a certain day!

Civil Engineer here with a little background in water/wastewater, I doubt that wall will have any affect on the smell. Once those particles become an aerosol through various means they are just intermixed in the ambient air. Until they become diluted beyond the detection level of the average nose, there isn't much you can do about it. If the park was down wind of the wall, that wall would actually create a low pressure zone behind it brining the air down behind the wall much like the low pressure zone in the bed of a truck traveling down the highway.

Stopping the smell at the source is the only real way to reduce the smell. Never dealt with that particular aspect, but I do know there are ways to cut those odors in the treatment process.

Either that, or set up some big fans to change localized weather patterns, whichever is cheaper. /s

Universal may have been jealous of Epcot Imagination skunk stink scene with Figment. As Universal is wont to do
, they one upped Disney with an entire sh_t stink factory.
