I keep seeing these pics and the more I look and still see a lot of scaffolding all I can think is no way this is opening in 9 months. Unless the rides inside are further along. But there's no way to know that. I think we will be lucky to see this open a year from now. Just my humble opinion.

i agree but did you see what Shanghai looked like 6 months ago?

Actually, these photos give me more confidence that this will be done my next spring.

What would be great to know is the critical path and important milestones on the path. Our insiders don't seem to have that info or it's just too sensitive to share. Can it open in less than 9 months? We'll know definitively when an @marni1971 or @MansionButler84 or @articos or other insiders tell us, or in 9 months!

I'll say planning a trip for next summer should be fun.

When I saw these new pictures I also felt that at least the outside work could easily be completed in 9 months, I think it will all depend on what is inside.

Because that's when we'll be able to watch them roll in that giant blue moon?

I'll be front row for that.

Looks like there is a bridge of some sort over by the crane on the right. I wonder if there will be a water feature running through that area.

It is a water feature, I can't remember exactly but I belief it will be a fallen tree that you are walking over to get to the main hub of the land...there is a lot of water in the land!!

That sounds terrific! My anticipation meter just jumped a notch. LOL

Fixed. Pandora is the moon.

do you guys see that blue tarp over a piece of the mountain on the right? Seems a bit strange

 

[TyTrap]

Could also be due to the elevation changes. The overhead picture is hard to read the elevation, but if I recall the exit for the flight-ride is a bit high up (maybe 2nd floor) and the entrance is very high (maybe 3rd or 4th floor).

Will the queue for flight of passage be outside or will it go behind the mountain facade to an indoor queue?

 

[brihow]

this is really getting me hyped. Already looks amazing, can't imagine how great it will be with water effects, lighting, and live entertainment!

Great pictures. It's great to see the different paths take shape. There are a lot of things that have me saying "what the heck is that??" (In a good way)

 

[Daveeeeed]

Haha!!! This pretty much confirmed my thoughts that the land will be epic!!

I think this queue will be mostly inside. The plans that leaked for this a long time ago actually showed the queue running above the boat ride, and part of it will also likely be behind the rock work.

Could be an area that they are currently painting or putting the foliage on so they need to protect it from the weather.

water area that cascades off the mtn

What I'm noticing? The square camouflaged "plug" they installed in the opening for this one mountain's access hatch.

Presumably they will do the same for the others, eventually. I'd be interested to find out whether it can be popped open from inside, or if it requires a crane and thus is only designed to be used during major refurb work...
