AVATAR land construction progress
- Thread starter wdwmagic
- Start date
I'm stunned that no one has been able to get aerial shots of the site in months and months.

I believe @photoflight has said in the past that he doesn't do much aerial work around Disney in the summer months.
Technically just two more days of summer to go. Hopefully that means he can get up in the air over DAK soon.

Dirt and foundations would be wonderful. I'm aching to see something . . . we can figure out a lot with the pics and video that have already been released, matching to things we'd see in photos . . .

I want to see dirt and foundations!!
Anything at this point that shows positive progress anywhere in WDW, I want to see!! LOlfoundation pouring has been going on for about 5 or 6 weeks..and I have no idea how long it takes for this scale of a project

We have already seen pictures of the area from earlier this year, and they were very interesting. Aerial pictures now would be equally interesting. The people on these boards who like this sort of thing could probably get jobs analyzing spy satellite images.

Totally fair. Hopefully my post hadn't come across as rude; just wanted to point out that there wasn't anything super-awesome-secret going on that aerial photos would help uncover.
But I just read through some of the older posts and saw the ones about the potential path between Africa and Pandora. I have no idea if that is or is not part of the plan, but for what it's worth, the "trailers being demo'd" that I mentioned are the ones that you can see at the very north of the construction site. They're tearing down all the way up to the tree line that you see. Not sure if they just need more room or actually plan to connect Africa and Pandora, but I wouldn't be surprised if they did.

It seems likely they are going to connect to two lands. There is a path leading south from the new Harambe area that currently ends in a construction wall, this will likely link to Avatar in the future.
Excuses. You could have gotten @DisneyInsider to bail you out of WDW jail.Batteries died
But really, I was nervous enough as my wife and I were taking pictures through the chain link fence of a Poly building under construction - all for @tikiman

Too many leaves in the trees?

I was wondering about that, flying a drone over.
Most areas you probably couldn't do it since its not like you can take a drone through the front gates.
At AK depending what kind of drone you have, the only way to do it would probably be to launch from the parking lot, with your get away planned.
Just dont get the cops or homeland security called, that would be bad bad.

Anyone want to go in on a geosynchronous satellite launch? Kickstarter?
I need those pics to offset all the Maelstrom and other bad news . . .
