AVATAR land construction progress

[brb1006]

Wow, this picture really puts it into perspective.
Looks stunning.
And blends extremely well with the park

I hope they have a good opening ceremony.

to put into perspective the highest rock/mtn is about 30 ft tall at 143ft in the air

I know it's not near complete yet, long way to go, but I cannot wait for this exposed piece of the show building to get some camouflage on it. I do certainly hope that's in the plan.

You won't see that from inside the land.
And I'm guessing they will plant trees to hide that view from outside the land

they might just put more mountains instead but I'm sure they will paint it

Very nice with some high-res pics. Thank you! It's been a while.
And while I'm at it, it's been a while too since any high-res / high quality pics from our eye-in-the-sky Photoflight.
Anyone out there knows how he's doing?

He's good, just not flying in the theme park areas in recent times - unfortunately.

What's the object which looks like a flagpole? It's in photo 2 on the main section of rock.

Think about being at the entrance of AK, waiting to enter the Oasis which is supposed to be a winding natural pathway through the woods to Safari Village (discovery island) now add the looming and enticing floating mountains, it'll make the reveal into the land really remarkable when you travel through the woods through the village and finally to another world! So cool!

The photos taken of the floating mountains... kinda reminds me of the Green turtle (Koopa Troopa for you 80's game nerds) from Super Mario Bros games.... The highest peak looks like the Koopa troopa's head and it appears to have facial features.

Sorry Disney/Cameron that the laws of gravity/physics won't make an exception for this themed land and give you truly floating mountains.

I wonder whether they would ever consider adding another attraction to the land. It's hard for me to see a situation where they say "we want to invest more money in Pandora" as opposed to building an attraction elsewhere; but at the same time, they did seem to allow for space to provide that option.

I feel like this depends on the success of the future movies. If they're really popular, I wouldn't be surprised to see them keep the Avatar hype up with another attraction.

Curse you, now I can't unsee it.

Disney has now beat Universal to the punch and brought Nintendo's SMB to their parks!

If You mean this one:

I'm pretty sure that's a lightning-rod.

This is what the new castle turrets in MK's hub looked like while under construction.

The one in Avatar reminds me of Mario Kart.

It really needs a coat of go away green if nothing else.

That and some bamboo trees along the wall is the route i'd think they may go. That's not something that needs to be done until much closer to opening though.

Never thought the park would be done before the second movie came out.
