AVATAR land construction progress

[RMichael21]

It is planned for 4/22/17.

Anyone find it ironic that an expansion themed to another planet is planned for Earth day?

I would assume the dirt lot?

If that's the case, then that is just CM parking and storage.

Boring...clearly it's the start of Carsland. That's why all the cars are parked there.

Let's hope it's not delayed as that's perfect!

Have the done any other theme park work beyond the one project listed on their web site?

Carsland, Wizarding World, Busch, Knotts, UIOA, The Grove, KSC, Simpsons. Lots.

According to this photo they have started painting the mountains if you look on the left.

Thats a lot of top tier attractions!

It would take some really tall trees to hide that. I think these pictures were taken from behind Rainforest Café, so the angle we are seeing isn't something any guest would see. If they did need to hide the top edge of the building they would probably add another layer of rock work like they are doing along the front edge.

Maybe they could do to the building what Uni did with Kong and put up flats along the top of the show building and then painted it to look like distant mountains with fog.

Aiming for earth day and park anniversary makes sense. Kind of like RoL.

Makes you wish Earth Day was in like January.

Of course it is or I wouldn't have said it. There's only one poster around here who makes up opening dates and I haven't seen him around after Steve threatened to boot him.

Of course, a year is a long time away in a theme park project and there is a lot of new technology to test (and discover problems in) for this project. Let's hope it isn't another Test Track 1997...

We've waited long enough as it is. A delay would just suck.

 

[TyTrap]

I'm sure there is a lot of off site testing going on for the 2 attractions. I can see this opening as scheduled. Feels like the avatar franchise just makes people wait a lot but for good reasons because it has to be perfected before anything else.

Now hold on a tick. Video of one of the simulators violently malfunctioning might be pretty entertaining.

Harsh. RoseAndCrowner's schtick was hilarious.
