DAK AVATAR breaks ground

[lazyboy97o]

I like trees as much as the next guy but give me more attractions at DAK. I really hope they don't hold back to preserve forest land. They can plant new trees around the show buildings.

Would not such a strategy be in conflict with the most cited reason for the film's inclusion, it's message of conservation?

For kids you don't have to be a first timer. They are popular. There are tons of rides at MK yet the princess hall still has hour long waits. It's not just the less popular parks.

I was talking about a manly manlier macho man like yours truly

a football field is roughly 3 acres so that should give you a an idea of scope...which is pretty big...thinking out loud i wondering the size of gringotts?

The Gringotts show building is about 300' x 200' which is 1.38 acres.

Thank Google maps.

i was wrong...a football field is roughly 1 acre

And remember when we are talking about these building sizes, it's unlikely to be a single 4 acre build, this is just the total of all the new buildings in an area.

I think American Football fields are just over an acre when you include the end zones. It looks like
Soccer (or Football) fields are 1.24 acres.

Sorry for the drift, but did you know professional soccer fields are like baseball fields? They vary in dimension. Roughly, they need to be between 100 and 130 yards long and between 50 and 100 yards wide.

So what other permits still to come would give us more detailed information on what to expect?

I am still hopping that something get submitted to the SFWMD with more details, but it is quite possible that we will not see any permits with more detailed information.

No doubt on purpose

They aren't mutually exclusive.

They actually are mutually exclusive. We have metrics on how much plaster a crew can shoot per day. If the carving gets really detailed, and inside of the mine is some of the best carving I have ever seen; that production rate goes down.

Don't know it's coming? How could you not? Lol your at a dead end and I think a five year old could figure out that your going to go backwards. Now if your talking about the actual turn inside the mountain that's different and I assume that's what you meant.... I hope

I didn't know that there were people on earth had never seen the ride on TV or talked to someone who rode it. Then some friends came to town, and upon exiting one of them actually had no clue what was happening, had never heard of the ride until that trip, and was blown away when she started heading backward (after thinking the track may just teeter and continue on forward). That made me think how cook it was to ride/see/experience things for the first time ever.

But why just one crew (or whatever the number may be)? It's understandable that one crew can only do so much a day, but what is less understandable is why there aren't more crews working. Or painting. Why have portions of the rock work that appear ready to be painted at the front of the mountain taking so long to be painted.

At the end of the day, if neither of these items are on the critical path, then I suppose it doesn't really matter, but the work seems to go so slowly. That's not a criticism of the workers, by the way, but of the managers or perhaps more likely, the check-writers.

So, I heard they broke ground on Avatar. Then I saw 32 pages of dumb.

What do you expect from a thread about "Avatar"?

 

[twebber55]

ignore is a great feature

(in billy mays voice)But wait.. THERE'S MORE!

As far as I know, it was chopped.

It doesn't make sense to have both, a Lion King dark ride and FotLK. Wouldn't they just be telling the same story? I wonder if the dark ride was considered as a replacement for the old FotLK.
