Avatar construction aerial updates

[Cesar R M]

I always felt the rockwork details take the most time. The rockwork for the BatB area in Fantasyland took around a year.

We will have to see.
Id say its going to be the hardest theming for Disney so far.

Good thing they have one of the best in charge if the rock work. But you correct, probably one of the hardest theming yet - especially at night time.

Is it just me or does this seem miles away from being finished? I'm guessing a late 2017 finsih.

Radiator Springs Racers November 2010, Opened June 15 2012. Note they haven't even started on the round hub cap.

I still say Pandora looks 'ahead' or at the very minimum on pace with that comparable and I'm still saying first half of 2017.

Sorry bud, go try and stir up trouble in another thread.

Thanks for the time line. It helps that there are parts of the floating mountains being constructed off site and being brought in. It's coming along nicely. You can start to see some color being added to the mountains.

Yeah, I am skeptical of the 2016 rumors, but I agree we are on track for early 2017.

Nope. Pretty much just you.

Me too. I don't think 12 months is realistic nor do I think 20 months is realistic for 'late 2017'. This is what RSR looked like a year out:

We clearly aren't 'there' yet.

Park Pass has put up a video of their entire aerial photo trip, set to a very appropriate score.

Thank you so much! Can't wait to see how these images relate to the map released at D23.

thanks again man!

I'm wondering what the cleared area that is left from the old bridge (infront of tiffin's) will be.

I think it is the other end of the path from the Harambe theatre area. These pics were a great Thanksgiving present!

Thanks for posting these. I had almost wondered if you had lost interest or worse.

 

[RayTheFirefly]

I'm still wondering what the purpose of that gap between the rockwork/mountains and the show building is. Any ideas?

 

[OldBlueEyes]

Great to see You back again, Scott! Your fantastic aerials have been greatly missed.
Please, don't let us wait that long 'till the next batch.
(Nice to see Your "Hub"-morph. Still using PhotoMorph, or another prog?)

Possibly to allow for building repairs without the need to interrupt "show" by tearing out rock work.

 

[Timothy_Q]

There's a hunge chunk of space left unused befind the show buildings.
I'm guessing that's where the coaster was planned to go in.

I'm aware second phases don't happen, but any chance imaginners left it there with the hopes they'd build the coaster later?

That was my thought also. Makes sense as the coaster building would have been the most hidden of the three attractions and the two major attractions (simulator/coaster) would have been either side of the river ride.

Who knows, if we are lucky we might get the coaster one day (maybe if the Avatar sequels do well?) but I guess the chance of a Disney phase 2 is really about 1%!

they probably will end being the costume department and staging areas? (offices, costuming, maintenance..)
