AVATAR land construction progress

[dreamscometrue]

Do any of the rooms even face DAK? Obviously there aren't any rooms that can see Everest so id imagine the floating mountains probably can't be seen from the resort either.

You can see the very top of Everest from some locations on the 6th floor of Jambo House. Twice we've stayed in the room closest to the elevator on the DVC 6th floor (overlooking the pool), and we can see the tip of Everest clearly. It's actually a bit easier to find it at night because of the way it is illuminated. In the morning or at night when it's really quiet, you can easily hear the people screaming on the ride too. Having said that, we haven't been there since 2014. I'll let you know in March lol.

Hey, sounds good. They will have more of the floating mountains done. Plus, they probably will be test running the nighttime entertainment. Maybe You will see the lights from Tree of Life and rivers of life show.

Silly novice question...apparently there is someone inside that crane in the white box near the top. Wow...scary job that must be 2-300 feet up. do you have to climb up the internal structure/staircase?

There is a ladder within the support structure to get to the cab. You can see it here. And you thought your commute to work every day was rough.

And don't forget to take your potty bucket.

I can't imagine River of Light being visible. It's all lower level visual effects. Is the Tree visible from AKL? It's considerably shorter than Everest.

Actually, that is incorrect. I was able to see both EE and the top of the tree of life from my 5th floor balcony in Jambo House. It was last Nov so there were no Pandora structures up yet, but I could see cranes.

Interesting, I don't think I've ever seen anyone post photos of their "theme park view" from AKL.

It's by no means spectacular.

Are all those vines for that one mountain or several? Do we know how many floating mountains there will be?

if you look at the pictures, you will see that ALL of the beams shown are connected to things already, and that the ones that are flown in ready to go have the beams attached to THEM, then are connected to the structure

Looks like it might be up on some scaffolding to get it closer to the workers doing the rock work.

Hourly capacity is really low. FP+ are going to hard to get.
