AVATAR land construction progress

I'm still in the "they're not going to build it" camp.
Many moons ago (was this announced in 2011?)...I was out on the west coast at a conference. I took a break one day and visited DL with two of our long time forum members (@James and @Laura ). Laura and I were in DL and James (he was later due to coming from work) came up to us waving his cell phone saying, "They're building an Avatar land at Animal Kingdom..." I thought about it for 5-10 seconds and said, "That's a really good idea." It has been a long, long wait.

No, because it's not the same thing.I think whining about the whiners is equally as bad, if not worse because the people who whine about the whiners think they're better and look down on them when really they're not.
Pretty sad don't you think?
There are posters here - as the Dan deesnee has quickly come to realize - that focus on the negative, and hope for failure.
I'm on a forum for my car: a VW MK7 GTI.
When I was on the MK6 GTI forum, and the MK7 GTI was being released and showing up at auto shows - there were forum members hell bent on finding flaws in the MK7 and reporting them back.
Going to the car shows, and posting all these things about what a step down the MK7 was (it isn't - it's a step up) how much VW cheapened its quality, (they didn't) and how much worse looking it was. (That parts subjective, but to my eyes it's much better looking.)
It's a similar phenomena here.

So do what I do: laugh as you scroll by their nonsense. There's really only one person here I can think of that absolutely hopes for failure in everything Disney does no matter how great it actually is. One.

I actually do laugh as I scroll by.
When I see the nature of that type of post, I often go right past it.

It's crazy to think of all the construction I've stalked here on the interwebs finally coming to fruition! Can't wait to see the final product! I am super excited for PANDORA. It will always be Avatarland in my heart.

Photo update as of Thursday, April 20. The new bus transportation shelter is getting painted, with finishing touches. Additional plantings on the berm behind are filling in the open spaces.
Landscaping along the new pavement walkway to the park entrance is being installed.
Green-tinted concrete was poured today to connect the new bus shelter with the existing park entrance pavement.
The green tarp under the bridge covering the secondary or rear entrance to Pandora has been removed, but the construction wall behind the Festival of the Lion King restrooms remains.

I just noted the date this thread was created. Wow, just wow. And still the latest posts are still scenery as are the Disney official videos. At least this hype will soon come to an end and we will all see if the hype is all that was promised.

What was the purpose of the black tarp under the bridge when they already had the wall there?

I think it's likely the only forum where open ended discussion occurres on the level it does. Most fan sites and groups are EXTREMLY defensive of everything TWDC does and all you hear is good things and that's a falsehood there are truths to the complaints you find here. By far the best informed forum period.
