Situation report: I was there right after opening at 9, and there was no security guards, only the usual CM at the park-entrance to Rainforest Cafe.
Enjoy

Great photos - it's looking more complex each time we get new pictures.

I've got some pictures from a couple days ago from up on EE, not the best but I was trying to get both Avatar Land and a view of the rivers of light work.

What's the tan thing sticking up over here along with the crane that is separate from all the others?

Would that be the roof for AKL?

Roof of the new FotLK theater?

Roof of the new FotLK theater?

Possibly, but that kind of looks like a thatched roof. It also looks way to close to be AKL, so what do I know?

If the PoV is from EE, using Google Earth, my best guess is the FotLK building. Maybe the photo being slightly out of focus gives it the thatched roof look?

This might be the best angle/view of the rivers of light seating/standing area i've seen yet. I'm still not convinced it will be standing only, this looks ready for bleacher style seating in my opinion.

great first post btw!

It is definetly AKL. If you draw a line from EE thru Avatar on google maps, it goes straight to AKL. Distance perspective can be a funny thing in photographs.

I am leaning towards bench seating like Fantasmic.

agreed

I am leaning towards bench seating like Fantasmic.

But my question is... how (or if) will it be themed?
