You can see from the model how they’re just going to build it in front of and on top of the existing building

Thanks.

I didn’t pay attention to that closely.

Yep, they’re building the temple alright! Pretty big parts as well! You can see a bit of the detail on one of the sides already. Should be impressive and will be a fast assembly by the looks of it.

Just curious where you are getting glass from? The dome in Dinosaur was not glass.

Wow that’s so funny I totally thought that dome was glass. Maybe I was thinking of the glass volcano/pyramid building at the Jurassic park ride in Beijing

The detail in the mock-ups is definitely at a level with the rests of Animal Kingdom, which is to say, the best in the world.

Can't wait to see the temple installed- seems like it won't be too long.

It's nice that the building was already designed with roof-portions meant for trees and plants to hide the huge show building. A natural way of making the temple look overgrown as well.

Plus it looks like they are trying to keep as many of the mature trees and plants as possible. Will really help the look from day one.

If you can’t give credit to the source / photographer it’s bad form to post all the work.

Ah - the dinosaurs that survived the extinction event!

Are those the two that become crocodiles?

 

[BlindChow]

There he is! I was getting worried...

The issue is that I can't mention where it came from due to the source's name being blocked on the forumsite. If I could credit them without the name being censored I absolutely would mention them

Yes I’m aware of the issue - but copying and pasting that many photos without proper credit is not the answer. In my opinion of course.

I think part of the point of the block is so that their content isn’t posted at all. Posting the pictures absent the direct link isn’t much better than bypassing the block by other means.

They are moving very quickly with this project. Excited to see how it turns out.

If you look closely, you can see Mayan carvings for the Indiana Jones ride temple facade!

This land is gonna look absolutely gorgeous with all the little details like this.

I’m guessing the majority of these are fabricated offsite.
