I don't think it's a matter of "can't", I think it is "choose not to".

I'm sure if the new movies were coming out sooner, the construction would be finished sooner too. I think what Disney is doing here is obvious. They want the hype about the new movies and the theme park land to combine together.
I agree 100%. When it comes to terrible lands, dinoland is the worst. Its sticks out like a sore thumb compared to the rest of the great theming in animal kingdom.

There's a large crane in CMM today.

It begins...
But was there ever a doubt? By the reasoned among us, I mean.

Settle down. Pretty sure we crossed the whole "point of no return" when they "broke ground." Even the doubters have said that Avatar was a go after a certain point. I'm sure there was "doubt" for quite some time, seeing as they announced Avatar two+ years ago and just now started work. Best to be humble here.
About time though that there is a crane on sight. Kind of a pity we'll be largely in the dark about construction except for aerial photos. Though I prefer not seeing construction walls up everywhere like in the MK. At least until the nighttime spectacular preparations begin.
Also, anyone have any idea on the Lion King progress?

There was never a doubt that once Avatar became Iger's pet project that it would be STARTED, How well it is executed or whether it will ever be FINISHED are the open questions now.
Historically former CEO's 'pet projects' are usually the first to be cut when a new CEO arrives and with Iger out in 2015 now and Project scheduled to open in 2017 there is a bit of uncertainty whether it will come to fruition or we will have a 20KLeagues style zombie land in AK until TDO finds something ELSE to put there.

There is zero doubt. There isn't enough egg in the world to cover their face if they didn't build Pandora now.

Climate change?

Hold that thought until Iger's successor comes in, Just look at Christie cancelling the cross hudson tunnel which was his predecessor's signature project, That cancellation cost the NJ taxpayers a quarter of a billion dollars after spending three quarters of a Billion dollars. This kind of cancellation runs on ego not rationality. If Iger were to stay until 2017 I would guarantee it's completion with Iger leaving in 2015 i'd give it 50-50 and pick-em odds at best.
this conversation needs to go to the other thread..this is about the progress of Pandora, right?

As long as they are rare ones it would be a interesting place to visit.

I'm interested in whether it will be completed - yes it's been started but that's no guarantee the attraction will actually open but I have no interest in continuing this further.

That WOULD be a cool effect!

A lot of the trees between CMM and the empty lot have been cleared out.
