The flyover is the same one that was posted here in late March and the pics are stills from the video. Nothing to see here. Move along.

Whose funding this again? What about the 3rd rumored attraction on the Spirited thread yes I understand it may not be a ride but an "Experience"

What 3rd rumored attraction? I searched the spirited thread but couldn't find this reference.

Looks like a good portion of the fireproofing has been applied to the steel. They'll begin to enclose the building soon.

On the Spirited thread,

I' m trying to remember what was all said but WDW1974 reported that there was an odd rumor about a third attraction in AvatarLand. He didn't feel that comfortable reported it but put in the blue sky rumor. I'll try to find exactly what was said and post it. Does anyone else see this??

I believe this is the quote you mean:

The odd rumor was that Disney was working on a THIRD attraction for the land. I've been sitting on it (like a fanboi with a favorite Imagineer) for months because no one can confirm. And Disney ADDING attractions to a project is almost unheard of. But I don't like being a tease, so place this strictly in the rumor basket for now. And sorry that I couldn't place out sooner (much like the Marvel Superhero Island redos coming up, I was protecting a source and didn't feel anyone just had to know!!)

Do you think the bike coaster will ever show up anywhere?

No.

No.

Boo.

In Pandora? Likely not and, if it ever did, it would be some Phase 2 expansion in the distant future.

But a Tron version of the bike coaster is being built in Shanghai. I could easily see it cloned to another resort like WDW, either as Tron or with a different theme -- there was talk of that style ride being build in a Star Wars area themed as an Endor speeder bike ride.

Can someone explain this? Is this an actual Disney blueprint or is this an artist rendition of someone outside of Disney based on the current evidence (i.e. the aerial photos and leaked blueprints)?

If you read the flickr page it says the guy is an architect and this is his own work of Disney blueprints. It looks like he took what he thought would be with what is known.

Yeah, he took the leaked plans and combined them with aerial images of the construction. Cool result, but not anything official.

I believe this is the quote you mean:

It was diclosed by jc that there would be multiple attractions long ago. Now what constitutes an attraction can be subjective but I expect one from each letter in the traditional sense. A through E.

IMO.

The floating islands should be an attration all to themselves.
