So I will assume that construction begins early 2014 to meet the 2017 opening date?

sounds right to me.

What happened to @Tim_4 ?

He stopped having fun so he started posting in sports and politics forums instead.

Turns out he was right.

Lookin' good. Can't wait till 2017. No seriously, I can't. That's too long.

I never claimed to be giving detailed info, but at the time I was posting, all your precious "insiders" were asserting that NextGen overruns were going to lead to Avatar being cancelled in its entirety. They were wrong.

Not all. But you must know how bad things got (and are not still fully resolved)

I can't wait for 2017

Definitely need to keep my eyes on the South Florida Water Management District permit site, that's probably where we will first see an indication of when construction will start.

Thankfully, you are our go-to guy who stays on top of the permit applications.
I look forward to your updates. Thx.

Looking forward to the areal shots of the construction from @Scuttle

Should be interesting to watch it as it progresses.

So now Animal Kingdom will have the two most impressive theme park mountains ever made?

And considering where this is being built, that is probably the only way we are going to get pictures of most of the construction.

Best part is that AK is out of the flight restrictions so I'll be able to get shots at 1,000 compared to 3,500 should make a huge difference in photo quality.

You have no idea how excited I am about this. Not the project itself... but your overhead photos! <3 I'd love to be on board and see that!

 

[Scuttle]

Pm me when your in Orlando maybe we could make it happen.

Scuttle, are you still around and interested in doing overhead photos?

Rule #1 of foruming: don't bump a 2-year-old thread.

I'm around, I've just had a tom going on. Job/school, but I am trying to find the time. Trust me I want to get up as bad as you guys.

This is important. DAK Expansion, if you want to call it that, is not limited to Avatar. That's the biggest piece, but I'd put this project about halfway between Fantasyland and DCA in scope and scale.

just wanted to repost this...this was what tim was saying two years ago
