interesting that there are no hardscape paths, unless they are going to be themed to look like dirt.

Probably themed to look like dirt. But don't expect the rocks to be there in the path since they'd be a trip hazard.
Pretty much all of the paths in AK are themed to look like dirt.

Good point. I don't think I've ever paid attention to the paths in AK. I've noticed them in MK.

No doubt it's probably more complex... But Carsland took just over 35 months from promotional ground breaking. I don't think Pandora is taking 48, no matter how complex.
The project may get delayed from their internal projection, but delayed I think would be June 2017, really delayed would be the fall, I just don't think at this point it's being delayed by a whole year.
Unless they delay the second ride for no good reason of course.
It was something I took notice of the moment I walked into the park. The amount of detail they put into the path you walk on is insane. All of the edges are irregular, the expansion joints look like random cracks and the went as far as to put in animal, bike and vehicle tracks. It is really taken to the extreme on KS where you will see 1'-2' deep mud ruts that look like they have been formed by the safari vehicles.

OOPS Siren beat me to it...oh well...
Also ACE has "put together a variety of experiences that soon all can enjoy."
Of course the back page wants to sell you something... but the reading
material there is also a "hint" of things to expect.
If you are excited, GOOD. If you are not, you'll be pleasantly surprised.

Remember, all construction is dictated by budgets, schedules, and fiscal quarters.
In this day and age of extreme Wall Street oversight, rarely anything is done as fast as possible.
Can it be done quicker? yes
Will it be? no
Is the rate of construction as fast as fans want? no
I know other projects may seem to go slower/faster, but that is all due to budget and schedule constraints. Also keep in mind the time it takes throughout Florida for site preparation, infrastructure, and wetland mitigation.
There was a behind the scenes video when they were building Mermaid that showed a 3D program that could be fast forwarded to show what would be completed on any particular date. It was never a "build as much as you can each day" project.
This is good to consider when looking at the completion rate of Avatar and any other project.

No need to worry, the same guys that engineered that yeti are designing it.

well, you walk underneath the ToL, right? same thing. metal construction base, rebar cage and gunite sprayed on and sculpted. no worse than the breezeways in communicor innoventions, or walking under SSE (alucabond is not held as tight as rebar and concrete)... for that matter, do you drive on the US highway system? every underpass you go through...
