@twebber55, you did tell once that you think we have now (finally) fallen within 2 years of this opening. Do you still hold to that opinion?

I just checked PhotoMaps and it's still the image from December 2014. Like you said, it's been awhile since we had an overhead shot. You might have to do something about that when your down there in less than two weeks ( you lucky dog )
I have a feeling we wont be seeing any new overhead pics until after they get the ride systems installed and roofs over them.

The "silver" steel is galvanized. It's had a coating applied during fabrication to protect it from corrosion. This would be done when the steel would be used in a damp environment, like in a water-based attraction or as the supporting structure for a portion of a building exposed to the humid outside air.
I believe the galvanized steel in that photo will be over the boat ride, if I've got my angles correct in my mind.

This is true for the Soarin ride since the roof has already gone on.

That will probably be the the rockwork structure that will cover the show building and contain at least part of the queue. The E-ticket is only half built in this picture it now extends almost all the way to that wall below the ride in the picture.

Yeah, I would love to see an up to date picture from this angle (and with this level of zoom).

Still I would think Cameron would want his creation at least squeezed into the mix...just off the wall but I wonder if dragons maybe live in the Pandorian world of the sequels??
