Yeah there are a few floating rocks scattered about. All appear on the perimwter though, nothing you would walk under ala Animal Kingdom.

Probably because most people aren't considering that this concept art could have very well been drawn before DisneylandForward was fully approved (like the other piece of concept art), so at the time Disney was leaning heavily toward this location and generated the concept accordingly. But now that DLF is approved and they didn't reveal a specific location at the expo, it is very well conceivable that they are still internally debating if they want to continue with it in the backlot or move it over to the Simba area.
I'm not trying to argue that it is DEFINITELY going to Simba, but that it is still a chance, no matter how slim. I also do concede to the fact this piece of concept art had the backlot in mind when it was created. It's not hard to see that. I will also concede to the idea that at one point it was definitely going there and that's why all the rumors point to that......however......I also know that plans can always change at the last minute when it comes to Imagineering. At least that's what everyone here says when they think they are right but want to be open to the possibility that they are wrong. Just in case.

Even after the Avengers ride is built, there will be plenty of room for an Avatar land right next to it. I assume the Avengers ride will be the same size as USH's Transfomers. We can be teleported by Stark Tech to Pandora. Something the size of Shanghai Pirates could be built there too.

The plot is four acres. The Avengers expansion should take at least half of that.

I mean the Mark Twain had a spiel that said TBA was going to Critter Country. They just changed it to say Bayou Country.

Are we assuming that order of construction/opening will be...
1) Avengers/Claw ride
2) Coco
3) Avatar
?
1) Avengers/Claw ride
2) Coco
3) Avatar
?
That’s what I’m thinking. They did say Avengers rides will start early 2025 and Coco will start in 2026. So since we got no date for Avatar I think it’s safe to say that’s last.

For those complaining about this being in DCA because it goes against the California theme, it's a heck of a lot better than it being in Disneyland. Disney is gonna build things they deem popular enough whether they can integrate it with a themed area well or not (we saw that with Galaxy's Edge). If I have to lose the California theme of that park to preserve the other, I'm all for it.

Especially when the tallest structure in not only the park but the whole resort is a fortress with aliens in cages.

Things can change and I won’t shut down the remote possibility. But backlot was contingent on Disneyland Forward. Because the bus loop was contingent on being moved to the eastern gateway. So it was designed with the intention and requirement of that project being approved. The project approval didn’t really change the possibilities when it was placed with DLForward in mind all along.
It’s why they were so weird about saying it was a maybe. Because they truly needed Anaheims approval for this one.

I weirdly think Avatar is more baked and will start construction sometime next year. It was the one project that was essentially ‘approved’ last year, so it has been full steam ahead.
2027 Avengers, 2028 Avatar, 2029 Coco.
Though the Eastern Gateway could slow things down.

December 31st 2029 is technically the end of the decade, but on Disney's calendar who knows.
Just saying, and I think its mentioned already in the thread, but Avatar 4 is slated to come out December 21st 2029. So make of that what you will.

Avengers will likely be bigger. Transformers utilizes an elevator to make everything more compact and have two stories for the ride (like Rise). The concept art doesn't show a tall building.

They should just change the name of DCA to DRA, Disney Random Adventure.

I've been told by someone that the placement of Avatar is "not very good" and "doesn't make any sense". They speculated that there is still a chance they move it and hopes that they do.
I didn't press them on any details. Take that for whatever its worth. They also did say the Coco placement is perfect.

Looks like it has multiple floors to me. It is just a big warehouse box. No reason why they couldn't do an elevator.
