AVATAR land construction progress

[rioriz]

Yeah I wish Steve would change the name of this sub forum to Pandora instead of Avatarland...so generic. We'be heard Cammeron call it the Pandora, the World of Avatar

Cameron's calling it by the official name.

seems like that name puts emphasis on the environment and land more so than any story
or maybe im reaching

It's just the name of the land, more than anything else. It needs Avatar in it to connect to the films, for anyone who hasn't seen the films and may not know what Pandora is. And the land is immersing you in the world. So, it just fits.

Here are some more photos. What is important to note is that this was the first time that a security guard came back and positioned himself between me and the gate in back of Rainforest Cafe. There must be many more people coming back to gawk at this thing. There were actually two guards back there by the time that I left. And by the way, the mesh overlay has started lower down on the larger floating mountain. You can see it in the one picture if you expand it a bit.

This last one has the mesh in the lower part.

After the humans are gone and all the rock work and mesh has weathered away, future space explorers will find this and wonder what the heck it is.

Sorry if this has already been addressed...I'm curious what that building/structure is between the floating mountains and the wall? Though it may have been under construction for a while, it seems like the top section has only been in fairly recent photos.

Good question, I didn't even notice that until you mentioned it.

Time to page @Tom .

Wow! This is really coming along!

 

[rioriz]

I was just about to post about that building. Seems fairly large and close enough to be "on stage"... shop? QS?

Beautiful pictures - interesting about the guards. There must be people wanting to get a little bit to close to the land.

Haha!

The only reason I didn't get a photo of the simulator building is because we actually drove down to WDW this time. I didn't take the same path in like the busses do so I couldn't get a good picture..and I was also driving.

Don't worry though. We will be going back to DAK again later in this trip. Hopefully we will take the bus. What I can tell you is that I would guess at least half of the building is enclosed, and mainly the side facing the road.

Looking forward to your awesome trip reports later on. Enjoy!

Thanks.

When we went in May, there were no guards back there and we could walk all the way back to the gate behind Rainforest Cafe. This time, aside from the three cafe employees, there was a security guard there. I did not walk to the gate as I wanted to get as much of the structure as possible. My three kids however walked right up to the gate. The guard that was there asked them to step back. That is when the other guard showed up, and he had a somewhat threatening disposition. I decided it was time to move along.

Not to beat a dead horse, but I would kill for overhead shots. There is so much going on back there aside from what we can see. Ugh!

I've checked nearmap but it's still from December 2014 but the rest of Florida is updated. Too bad they don't have a small window for you to look through like Disney had when they were building the seven Drawf's mine coaster. Go call on moving along - you don't want to get banned from the park.

starting to think there is a conspiracy going on between Disney and nearmap lol
