I want to compare what we've seen for AK to what arrived in SDL.

You can find the PotC layout if you do some detective work using google earth and its historical feature (go to when it was under construction and roofless). Don't have a jpeg handy, but I feel like some website captured them a couple years back.

NRJ's showbuilding footprint is approx. 1/3 the size of PotC:BftST.

I'm screaming inside! I'm picturing what this all looks like without the scaffolding and I'm becoming more and more excited.

Well yea of course, that's the ultimate comparison. There has to be a blueprint for Shanghai to compare to though right?

Disney doesn't release ride blueprints. The ones you will find online are created by fans. It will take some time before people start doing them for Shanghai.

Very interested to see how the tiny floating mtns on the building will look from inside the land...Will they be painted "Fade away Blue" or be vine themed?

I hope Everest's bird-on-a-stick doesn't run into Avatar's rock-on-a-sticks.
But, honestly, I'm assuming the bottoms of the rocks will be hidden behind the other structures when viewed from within the park.

...NRJ's showbuilding footprint is approx. 1/3 the size of PotC:BftST.

I'll back you up on that one. I found it unbelievable that there would be such a large difference in size, but I used a website that helps you compare area size on Google Maps and, based on my best efforts, Shanghai's Pirates is THRICE the size of it's a blue world/Avatars of the Caribbean/Splash Planet/Pandora River Rapids/The Three Avatarros.

my musings as to the scene location

Good catch, didn't even think of this.

 

[A foolish mortal]

I wonder if the rocks on the show building will sway in the wind.. making them look like they are floating?

Figured they naturally would have to anyways. Or the supports break. Right?

Ahh man. 1/3 wow not what I was hoping for in comparison. Oh well.

Really good question. Either way I feel like it's going to be hard not to realize there is just a pole there holding the tiny mountains up. Whether its vines and such or a blue sky, you'll see it.

So layouts like this are created by fans? Serious question, cause I thought they were actual plans.

That one some how got leaked I believe. That blueprint has been modified though as the boat ride doesn't seem to be leaving the building any more.

That was a leaked page of the plans that was modified by a fan.

The Pandora plans were leaked here by @pheneix IIRC
