It goes look good, but I just took some rough measurement and that entire building, including both Quonset hut section and the building attached to it is about the same footprint as the Be Our Guest building.

if you zoom in you can see the arches on top of the mtn clearly
EDIT: im curious what those "lines" that are running on the ground below mtns and water feature
Maybe they are laying the ground work for the bioluminescent pathways that light up at night and also react (light up even brighter) when your feet step on them.
well that was my first thought
but i have no idea

They should have a banshee animatronic rise up out of that opening on top of the floating mountain every so often.
Yea and have it fly around Avatar: The World of Pandora carrying a couple real Navi on their backs.... Do it Disney. Spare no expense.

Awesome pictures. I thought I would be seeing the one floating mountain but I was surprised with the detail of the different pictures. Also, I'm pleased to see more and more likes with each updated pictures. What a massive project
can someone tell me if those are prefab rockwork on the side of the road lined up?

So, that is my question with these new photos. Is there an area that would be a "walking path" for exploring Pandora by foot? There was that brief video footage from Disney which showed a walkway which lit up as you walked. Now, such an are might be part of the queue for one of the rides, but I've been hopeful that we'll see separate walk through attraction. Such a thing would probably work best indoors/in the dark, so the idea of perhaps it there being a science lab where this stuff is being "studied" would certainly make sense and fit in with the background story of the land.
Also, there was the talk of entertainment (including a sign that said "drum" IIRC) in the land, I'm wondering if there might be a formal stage somewhere versus more streetmosphere -- I'd guess the latter.
How do these buildings match up with the D23 model? Is there anything else missing that was on the model?

Not entirely sure what building you are referring to as there are a few.. but if you are talking about the one in the middle background id think it'll be the giftshop
from what i am thinking, they are going to make it look like you are underground in a shop or something. probably will cover it with trees and brush

Got to love high-res aerial pictures! So much detail. Like this:
First real detailed look at the roots/vines. Love the way they intertwine (in the middle, round the white thingy)

And then there's this:
The arches and what I think is the start of one more floating mountain (grey/yellow thing). In the lower righthand corner, there is one more yellow piece (vine/root) waiting to be put in place.
This is the one I think it may be (thanks to Dateline Disneyland):

looks like the intertwine roots go underground,no?
are we sure those mtns are not the grey metal on top left

Well, kind of, I think. They are anchored in the ground, but that we won't see.
Here's a part of one of ORL Park Pass' great arerials from November:

I'm not sure of anything, sitting in Oslo, Norway! Just trying to guess.
To make it clearer, this what I mean:
Reminds me of the first pics we saw of from construction. Like this one (june 2015):

also wondering if those rock pieces on the side of the road connect to the top of the Flight of Passage building

I see they have put in supports for the rockwork that will hide the edge of the show building.

I would argue epcots greater need is high capacity people eaters the few it has are all relics and don't ever utilize that capacity because nobody wants to ride them.
