Did you see the occasional pink flower? I wonder if that might be some sort of light. I didn't see any electricity to it but I thought it was a little odd.

Okay, I've had enough. People keep mentioning hills in Florida. There are no hills!!! Expedition Everest is probably the highest "hill" in Florida. My yard has a 70' vertical drop spread out over 2/3 of an acre. That's a hill. Although, I technically live halfway up a rise to a plateau. The Grammar Police have spoken!!

Not to make a mountain out of a molehill, but...

Expedition Everest = 199 ft.
Britton Hill = 345 ft.

Here is a Wikipedia list of 89 hills in Florida, 56 of which are taller than Expedition Everest:

List of Florida's Highest Points

For nearby proof of hills in Florida, check out Sugarloaf Mountain, north of Clermont. It's roughly 32 miles from the Tragic Kingdom.

Interesting permit today for show set install for Navi River Journey. Of particular interest is that this permit has the default 1 year expiration instead of the 12/31/2018 date that almost all the other permits have had.

the expiration part

 

[danlb_2000]

the expiration part

Permits have an spot on the form where an expiration date can be put in. This is the date by which the work needs to be complete and the contractor paid. If the date is left blank, then the expiration is considered to be 1 year from the date the permit was filed. Almost all Avatar related permits have had an expiration of 12/31/2018. This permit leaves the expiration blank, so it expires on 4/8/2017.

Doesn't it also mean screens in set 3, 4 and 6? Isn't Morpho screens?

morpho is the name of the project

So Morpho is like a code name for Avatar? Where did I get the idea it was going to be a state of the art video projector type thing. I'm so naive.

It's the "code name" for the entire project.

Navi River Journey will have a lot of physical sets but I won't be surprised if they used screen to expand the environment.

Project Morpho is the name of the Avatar project, but it's also a high frame rate camera that Cameron uses.
