Are they going to do a roller coaster similar to the Dragon/Gringott's ride at WWOHP? With the flying creatures? That'd be nifty.

which of the two? the testrals or hypogriffs?Are they going to do a roller coaster similar to the Dragon/Gringott's ride at WWOHP? With the flying creatures? That'd be nifty.
officially from Disney.... 2017
me too!Well I plan on visiting in June 2017....fingers crossed it will be open by then...
the steel for the CORE of the building has been set, the outer curtain wall around the screens themselves have not been setNice picture!
What I am going to be curious to see is what happens after the steel is finished. How much of this will resemble the theming and how much will resemble the back of a building. Also will be curious to note if they plant more trees to cover this up as you approach DAK in the buses. I originally suggested that the entire show building should be made to look like you are climbing the mountains to look for the banshees. I am really hoping beyond hope that they follow this idea and theme this unlike another queue at any park. The immersion factor would be remarkable.
Also, since I don't have any construction experience, I have wondered if all steel for this will be erected for everything, and then the utilities and theming in that order happen for every structure at the same time. A lot of work has been around the simulator building and the boat ride. I would have thought that steel work would have also started on the floating mountains due to their height and size.
@Tom would be the best person to chime in on this but maybe they are starting steelwork on the buildings in the center of the area and will expand outward.Nice picture!

Good. The faster the better, in my opinion.Separately, they sure are working on rivers of light during the daytime. Kinda loud at the dinoland entrance.
For the floating mountains, they may also utilize a concrete tilt up or concrete with embedded steel construction method. In those cases, the rock work might bolt together in a relatively quick fashion. I can't see cast in place used for this size and detail.
they did the same at CAL RR and that was one of the largest rock work jobs to date![]()
like they did with the tree?
formed remesh and then shock-creted then sculpted
Shotcrete is an entirely different thing from cast-in-place or tilt-up, although my guess for the floating mountains would be something similar to the tree. Such a large, top-heavy structure would almost have to have a steel-framed core.![]()

This would be my guess as well. If it's anywhere near the size shown in the model, they'll want the lightest material possible.Because they'll be "floating", I wonder if they'll be pre-cast and painted fiberglass shells over a steel support structure, something similar to Eric's castle at Little Mermaid.
