The Buena Vista Construction Campany added almost 15,000 cubic meters of earth, to access the island to its present size of 11 acres to expand. Over 1,000 tons of boulders and trees were to be from China, South Africa and the Himalayas exported to an entirely new landscape for Disney's new attraction "Treasure Iceland" arise. As a "Treasure Iceland" Disney opened on April 08, 1974, the island for visitors.
