OK, just got home. So, the area starting just across from the Wooden Indians shop where the wall begins to the end of that wall is 45 paces (roughly 2.5 feet per pace - I have big feet and tried to take Military paces, which are generally 2.5 feet).
Then, starting at that wall and going to Becca's weaving is 32 paces.
So, a rough estimate of the square footage of this footprint if they DO NOT take out the swinging bridge is 8972 feet (assuming each of my paces is 2.5 feet).
The lady at Becca's Weaving said they'll be putting out a press release next week giving further information. The guy at the knife place said they're putting the carousel there, but that footprint is WAY too big for just the carousel.
This next one is from the swinging bridge:
I also got some pictures of the site itself. From this next one, you can see that they're going to have a difficult time excavating this. ESPECIALLY if they take out the swinging bridge! It's a gorge! This picture is from the bridge where you hear the horse hooves and the baseball guy is. It shows how big of an area it would be if they take out the swinging bridge - well, best I could do anyways. You can see the swinging bridge, and then the one above shows from the bridge itself, so the area would be downright gigantic if they took out the swinging bridge. You can also see from this pic that there's quite a bit of depth to that spot, and making it level will be tricky and might take a while.
Here's another picture showing the gorge and the small pond they will have to contend with. Taken from the swinging bridge:
These pictures were taken from a tiny crack in the wall by Becca's Weaving:
And, some more random pics that show the layout of the site:
