I LOVED Harry Potter lands. :confused: I'm sure there is a thread somewhere that isn't the Avatar Construction thread to discuss them. :angelic:

Any murmurings out there as far as the 'big picture' identity of the park? You know, the new name, etc.? I am puzzling over how they are going to tie this all together into an overall theme . . . when you talk about wider park architecture, it made me wonder. It seems like the 'old Hollywood'...

I'm guessing that is show building and backstage . . .

I thought that's what I did . . . or that's what I meant it to be, anyway. The blue and red boxes are the entrance to TSMM, I thought, so I curled the art around the back of the building to represent that. I suppose I could push the path further left. But the perspectives are all whacked anyway...

Given that, then . . . this?

Yup, about a third of the Rivers of America, and re-routes the original train track. I can see where 'originalists' would find that appalling. I have just a bit of that feeling as well. However, the new riverbank art that they released is quite nice, and seems to be a bit of 'plussing' of the...

I should have searched . . . thank you. Great news! Hard to believe the ride will be that tall, lol . . .

What is planned for Typhoon Lagoon? I must have missed that!

OK, I'm confused . . . Alcatraz? The Bird?

I would have agreed with you until I saw Cars Land and HP at Universal. In both cases, 'just hanging out' became an attraction, and my family did a lot of just that, at both. We actually at one point got some food at an outside restaurant and walked it over to CarsLand to eat, because we...

My suggestion would be to wait until everything is ready and then open the park late. Sounds like the nighttime safari isn't ready, either. I'm sure this will make them extra money, so, yay.

Sigh. Disney used to be "HOW did they do THAT?" Now, it seems, they are "WHY did they do THAT?" Not since Stitch's stage in Tomorrowland has there been something so underwhelming . . . Wasn't there another thing that lasted only a couple of performances? I feel that creative is under such...

I, for one, hope they change the lighting. I can't see a dino-gone thing in that ride. So dark. Compared to Indiana Jones, ugh. Please, please just a little. I know it won't happen, but I would wish for a little foliage to cover up the blank dark walls as well. I am a huge dino-nerd, and this...

Hm, I need to dig around in my archives. Might have a couple of those laying around in the WDW collectibles bin. I have park maps all the way back to the mid 80's . . .

Yes, the planet! I have been saying all along, c'mon Disney, figure out how to do something that magical and astonishing. The first time I saw lasers projected on spaceship earth I figured they could do anything. It's time to do something crazy like that again. I am probably wrong and...

So . . . love this image. In my mind, that little round blip at the bottom, under the P in Pandora, is the head of a guest. (A little model head.) I straightened and cleaned it up a bit from the video. Imagine if this was inside the queue for Flight of Passage, or if you were in a boat and...

Not everyone was charmed and awakened this morning, it seems! This is pretty good . . . from a twitter account @easywdw

Original EPCOT is very high on my list, maybe at the top, of places I would visit again if I could go back in time in my life. It was a wonder in every way. The Magic Kingdom is wish fulfillment in a fantasy setting. EPCOT in its heyday showed us what we could be, a world that might be. And...

Whether it be projection or painted backdrops, the stars, the giant gas planet, things flying by in the forest, adding more trees for depth, etc. this seems like a no-brainer. The whole interior is going to glow!

I thought that in DL, they were going to change it to Iron Man, so I'd think perhaps it will be changed to a different IP in WDW as well. Just my thought.
