I picked up a second production drawing from lot #914, this one related to the base of the 4-Toed Statue. The base was was practical set built at Makaha Beach, with the statue CGI'd.
For sheer visual splendour the valley within Kualoa Ranch is hard to beat. The area has attracted many film and television productions including Jurassic Park, Godzilla, and LOST. In fact, the day of our tour there was a crew shooting in the valley, allegedly for a Shakira music video. Jurassic Park 4 had also been filming recently. In terms of LOST there are multiple locations scattered over the property: the Tempest station , Richard Alpert's pre-Island home , the area where Ana-Lucia killed Goodwin , Jughead's tower , the hill down which Hurley drove a Dharma van , the suspension bridge Hurley and Charlie crossed to reach Rousseau , the spot where the Man in Black smashed Jacob's wine bottle , and Hurley's golf course to name a few.
