Ugh. I stared at that number for the longest, trying to make sense of it. LOL. Thanks for pointing that out. So, 1998 is the year AK opened and Avatarland is aiming for 2017, I guess.

According to wiki '880' stands for "Project 880" which was "James Cameron's original idea and scriptment for Avatar that he wrote in 1995. There are a few extra characters in the script that did not appear on-screen, and some character names are different."

And, Avatar the film came out in 2009. Mystery solved!

One thing that is funny to me is how many other bloggers/podcasters out there that are reviewing/commenting on the D23 Pandora presentation don't even realize that the Marshall Lamm character is actually played by Avatar producer Jon Landau.

I sure hope you are very wrong on the timeline for DHS. TSL first sometime in 2018 seems jaw dropping considering what is already closed and that TSMM 3rd track already under construction.
The third track is supposed to be up and running in 2017 right? If that is the case, and they plan on moving the entrance, would it not make sense to have at least part of the new land complete before that happens? I want to think that the timeframe is actually shorter than people are anticipating, but I am also considered and optimistic guy.

Now to me, the common sense answer is that when the third track is ready they also have the new entrance ready. I'm not sure I should bring up common sense when talking about Disney refurbishments though. haha

And I also think that it would make sense that Toy Story Land comes out in 2017 at the latest as to stop the hemorrhaging of people skipping DHS entirely during their vacation.

Yeah the common sense would mean that once the new track is open, there would be no other reason to close it back down. This lends credence that at least part, if not all, of the new land will be open at the same time.

One other option I have thought might happen is that when the third track is ready it uses the new entrance. They may need to shut down the other two tracks then to connect it to the other tracks' queue. Or do you think they'll have to shut down the entire attraction for a short period of time?

Not gonna lie, I may be a little nervous walking under those BA floating rocks the first time. I would love to see a documentary on the engineering involved to support those like that. Does anyone know who the architect/engineer is on this project? Or does Imagineering do all the engineering as well?

Third track is supposed to be ready by the end of 2016.
