I wasn't able to get the same view of each because I didn't get the 1990's picture until after I took the 2006 picture and then flew home to Ohio. I can't be too picky. You can still get a good idea. I said, back in 2006 when I made the first version of this site, "If I somehow manage to return, I'll get a picture similar to the 1990 picture for you all.", and then I returned this year and did not. I failed you. According to their old website, "One of the Florida Great Wall's most remarkable features is the reproduction of the original three-foot building blocks built with one inch by two-inch long bricks, six-and-one-half million of which were laid, brick-by-brick, by Chinese artisans, to create this replica".
