Avatar construction aerial updates

I'm wondering what is this thicker area added to the concrete wall? Just a normal part of any type of interior structure that would be there for this type of building?

Forms, or perhaps a thickened wall to support structure above.

Looks like they're applying waterproofing to outside of walls....because they will likely be underground.

Just to add to this conversation, I saw on Jim Hill Media that he just walked through DAK the other day and took some photographs as he walked through the park. He stated in his write-up that his contacts in imagineering told him that the main show building is expected to be enclosed with regular walls within 60 days from now so that more extensive work can begin on the inside of the structure.

For the Soarin building that is totally plausible. Most of the framework is complete and the outside walls should go on pretty quick.

I could have told you that, lol. Within 2 months, they'll have the metal stud framing or masonry walls up (or going up) around the E-Ticket facility, so they can get it enclosed and weathertight.

The equipment can all be built inside later?

It would of course depend on the equipment, but most likely yes.

Buildings like this are designed around the equipment going in them at a certain stage of construction.

I guess they also need to do it to keep the banshees from flying away.

I think there is little doubt at this point that the boat ride is happening.

Depends who you ask.

??? so is the Boat ride still iffy!? because I was really excited about this attraction. More so than the flying one actually!

I'm not the be-all or end-of by any stretch of the imagination, but everyone I've talked to about it either can't comfirm or says it isn't in phase one.

And yes, I want it too.

 

[chiefs11]

If it ends up in the basement of the showbuilding, as it looks in the recent photo, it would be pretty simple to leave it to finish in phase 2. (or like many phase 2's: not at all )

Wow, well thanks for the information! I also read about it not being part of phase 1, but with everyone talking about it being constructed now I just figured it was planned for the opening. Wishful thinking I suppose!

Interesting, I didn't realize the rumor that it won't be in phase 1 was still active. If it does end up being an entirely indoor attraction they could easily build the basic structure now but leave everything else until later.

Really? Wow. I trust what you have to say, Martin, which makes this news disturbing. In a park desperate for rides, one where they plan to extend the hours, they are really going to build a new "land" with only one ride? I can understand the cut from 3 rides to 2, but I would have thought that Cameron would pretty much demand that both rides be up and running from Day 1.

I would be shocked if both don't open at the same time

Disappointed? Yes. Shocked? Not any more.

I really want to get an email saying it will open in 2017. And be a lavish, fully immersive experience. But I haven't yet.
