The E-Ticket is not enclosed from what I could see. I foolishly did not take a picture on the way in, but aside from the roof, I saw no evidence of walls.

They still have a circular outer frame that's the same elevation all the time. I doubt they would get any special treatment. If you conflict with air space or communications, you have to file with the FAA - whether temporary or permanent.

Nice photos Sherlock Holmes! I bet the bus driver was angry you were stealing his thunder when you were talking to the other guest

are the ( what appears to be ) wooden structures holding up some sort of structure? Or hiding ( shielding ) what's going on?

But the point on the outer frame that is at the highest elevation is constantly changing, so how would they do this, put ref ligths every couple feel around the wheel? The only other option i see is a tower extending up from the hub above the level of the wheel with the light on it.

The wooden structures are concrete forms.

I am waiting for NearMap.com to get updated soon. Their capture plan says they will have updated images of the Orlando area three times a year. Last update was in December so they are overdue for an update.
On another note, people seem to be referring to any irregular steel structure we see as the "floating mountains", but these easily could be for other thematic elements like Pandora trees for example.

Your last comment is very true. I am only following the current popular opinion that the large, bizarrely-shaped steel structure is the start of the infamous floating mountains. If Home Tree is added along with everything else, so much the better.
I still think it is the mountains though. I am thinking the incredibly large trees featured in the film will be a part of the simulator ride movie.
You really need to go to DAK to see it though. These small pictures don't do the size of this expansion any justice. It is massive, and they seem to keep adding to it.

It's hard to say due to the angle and distance you are forced to view it. That being said, I believe it is approaching the height of the simulator building.
wow...I would ve never thought that, but like you said hard to tell from this angle

You really think so? I know there isn't much to go on, but we do know it's much closer to the camera then the simulator ride building, so I would say it's much shorter.
