My mother-in-law came down a couple of months ago, and we took one of those I-drive helicopter flights. It flew right over the entire site, but we were so busy talking about it that we forgot to take pictures.

Whenever I walk through this park, I'm reminded that Walt wanted real animals along the Jungle Cruise in Disneyland. There is obviously no way to do that in Anaheim, but I think we have it in Animal Kingdom. If only the safari ride was a boat ride instead...

This is pretty close. Remember, sight lines are an integral part of your investigation. Why would the money shot come from the Rainforest BOH gate? The concept photo is from another angle. And don't presume that the elevations are the same, either. The photo over Rivers of Light to the floating...

The thing I love about videos like this are all of the Imagineers that no one knows about. Anyone can spot Joe, but there are at least a dozen of the most amazing sculptors, landscape architects, painters, etc. in the world on here that you have never heard of. I think people often forget about...

Nah, they would complain about that version too.

...and a little more of the magic just died.

He is much more noticeable in person, this is one picture from one angle.

It's at the top of the second lift hill on the left hand side: http://www.hiddenmickeysguide.com/news/seven-dwarfs-mine-train-hidden-oswald

Yeah, my wife called me into the living room as it was playing. It was the channel's "Theme Park Insider" talking about the project, and it showed a full overhead video shot from (what looked like) a helicopter. I can't seem to find it online.

Did anyone see the video on the local news (Chanel 6 in Olrlando?) last night of a flyover of the site?

I'm sure pictures will populate this thread, but by March of '15 you'll see the backside of a lot.

I'll wait for the media department to divulge the details of the ride system, it ain't worth my job. I will point out that there is a difference between a mock-up and a first article. A mock-up is used for buyoff, a first article will become part of the project. (i.e., the plaster carvers for...

What Bob rode is part of the actual ride, not just a mock-up or simulation plussed just for him. I wasn't bothered as much as I wanted to note that we will get to ride what he rode. His reaction to the attraction was real, which testifies to the effect of the new attraction.

Sorry, I should have been more specific. I was wondering why you put "ridden" in quotes.

Just curious as to what the quotes mean.

Why wouldn't you expect that? But you would be wrong, and that's not a bad thing.

I've seen it and it will be amazing. There's two for you.

But it is based on "the intrinsic value of nature", which is the underlying theme for all of Animal Kingdom. The way it's being built, you won't have to even heard of the movie, let alone have seen it or be a fan to enjoy the experience. But it helps.

I wouldn't call the IP for Splash Mountain irrelevant.

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...
