Couple observations on this. From that last picture we had assumed the supply yard at the bottom of the picture was setup for Avatar, but it appears that was not correct now. The new pictures shows the fence gone and the area completely re-configures. The new picture confirms the location of this permit:
508 Rainforest Rd - DAK Expansion 12 wide Team Trailers
The black rectangle to the right of the picture is these trailers, if you look close you can see the 12 sections. There appear to be at least 3 pile drivers in the lower left corner of the work area about the supply year. A couple weeks ago there was a backstage picture that showed some equipment that was likely for doing grouting to stabilize the ground. I am guessing this is the yellow object just to the left of Rainforest, it's in the right location based on the last picture.

Thanks for the aerials, I crave this stuff!
You've inspired me to do a little comparative photoshop sleuthing.
First up, now that we know the full extent of the excavation, I wondered how it would
compare in size to Carsland . . .

Next up, this screenshot from the promo video allowed me to stretch that
rendering on the wall and overlay it on the construction site. We can now
see what the top third of the land will look like.

And finally, a bit of guesswork on the overall configuration of things . . .

@photoflight--THANK YOU for posting this!
Is there any chance you could post it in a higher resolution? There are some pixels
I'm curious about . . .
If not, no worries.

Not really - but if you have a specific section you want enlarged just let me know.

Looks about the same size, I say just put Cars Land instead!

Thanks for the Aerials of Avatar land and I would like to see some pictures of the boat ride as well.

If it's built, that boat ride will go in that area that is in the aerial photo.

Here's a 3D view. To see it use the old "cross-eyed" viewing technique similar to this. If the 3D appears inverted (the ground is higher than the trees) then concentrate looking toward the opposite side of the picture.

The 3D is awesome! You can really see the cranes that are putting the pilings in sticking up! I love the popcorn look of the trees, as well.
I was mostly curious about that wall-looking structure right at the center, wondering if that's the beginning of a water feature.
Also--with better resolution around the cranes, we might be able to see how many pilings are in, etc. So--a blowup of that center section would be awesome!

The "wall" looks like a row of sheet pile, meaning they are going to excavate for something. Water feature would make sense.

Thanks @danlb_2000, I didn't know the accurate term 'sheet pile' but it makes perfect
sense in context.
My thinking is if we map out the pilings, we'll get a good sense of where the largest
load-bearing structures will be, shapes and sizes, etc.
