Season 4 - New Location: Plant Yates + pics

So there have been rumors about a new set location for season four, which is reportedly called Power Plant Yates in Georgia. There are more pictures of this power plant other then the three I'm going to show, so you can surf the web and find those if you want.  There isn't anything up close though and I think it's because security has been really tight on the filming.  Apparently, the production is supposed to be really big with a lot of people involved in the production of whatever episode their filming.  I think we'll see the power plant between episodes three and six based on timing, but I could be wrong because they don't always shoot everything in chronological order.  So here's the pictures of Power Plant Yates:

This is a really cool location! I think one of the fun things about The Walking Dead is getting to see all of the new locations like in "Clear", where we see Rick's hometown, Atlanta with all of the rooftops and buildings and even the prison.  But just by looking at this location, this the perfect location for a zombie apocalypse.  The set team doesn't have to that much work, and all you would have to do is put some garbage and debris around the location and you're ready to shoot.  You have the fence for security and you can see the rust on those things on top of the roof.  So overall, this makes for a really nice set location.

I do wonder what they're going to use this location for and who's going to be there.  We've already seen Rick's group at the Big Spot and the prison for season four, so will this be the Governor's new spot?  It could be because I originally thought the Governor's new place would be at the Big Spot location, but we know that's not the case.  It's a tough call, but don't rule out the possibility of seeing the Governor here. He is a season regular as well, so we should be seeing him in almost every episode. 

 

So this photo is of the same location but it's from just up the road.  This reminds me a lot of the season two poster where you had Rick running up the road to the farm.  If this is really where they're shooting, this would be absolutely perfect. Just an awesome choice for a location!

 

 



Here's another picture of the plant and this one is zoomed out and you can see the body of water as well.  There isn't really too much that I can say other then wonder why they would be shooting there.  You wouldn't think there would be any food in a power plant.  According to International Business Times, there were about 120 production personnel and 200 extras on hands.  Could that mean 200 walkers?  That could spell trouble for anyone that steps foot in there.

So if this location is the Governor's new home base, this a really cool location for a base.  But it doesn't really make sense for anyone to be there beside the fact that Plant Yates is secured.  I don't think it would be that rich in terms of supplies or food.  But that's really all we can say at this point.  Write in the comment section below about what you think Plant Yates is being used for and who you think will be traveling there.
