Yes and I think this is how the 'Cameron is difficult' meme got started. I think he is likely demanding and exacting and that he drives people because he pushes the envelop. Same could be said of Walt Disney and many other great achievers. Such an attitude will always create some resentment in those who don't buy into the program. Nothing new under the sun.
or could this have been taken from behind Rainforest Cafe?

The same could be said of many US founding fathers. Let hope it doesn't feel like 200+ years to get Avatarland open.

I am thinking it's from behind Rainforest. The shots appear to be taken through some trees and there are very few trees along the back access road.

No, the Cameron is difficult meme got started because Cameron is difficult to work with. You can find numerous interviews with actors and production people that say this. Even Cameron admit he is hard to work with. You are right, in the end this can lead to great results, but that doesn't change the fact that it makes it hard to get there sometimes. I would actually be worried if there wasn't some conflict in the development process for Avatarland, that would lead me to believe that Cameron just didn't care.

Strange how some choose to work for him in numerous projects. Maybe he is just trying to scare off the less enthusiastic.

So you are saying all these people are just making this up?

No, I think some just are not used to his style so instead blame him even though it is obvious he expects a lot from people. Something like that.

I was a DAK today and you could clearly hear tracked equipment (bulldozers, graders exc.) moving around from the main entrance. I also took a look at the old pathway to FOTLK and all I could see that they did was add another 4 ft section of wall to either side of the construction wall and moved the smoking area in front of it.

Most likely it's one of the backstage structures from the former Lion King theater.

It's really nice to actually see SOMETHING. Equipment and piles of dirt make me happy, lol.
And you know what the BEST PART about construction photos and progress is?
It will SOMEWHAT, but not entirely, quell talk of whether Avatar is a good fit for Disney parks, or if it is a good film or not. Really. Once we have something tangible to discuss, I think those discussions will move to the margins. They will never go away, even after the thing has been opened. But we'll have construction progress to track, and that's a whole lot more fun than rehashing the rehash.

It could also be the tent like structure in the upper left corner of that aerial view, the one that parallels that access road.
thats exactly what it looks like
