Haven't thought about this until now, but does anyone know if there would happen to be good Cars Land construction photos to compare the progress of Aliens and Mater?

Remember that even though the ride system is the same Mater doesn't have the roof structure over it like the alien spinner will.

I know, I'm just curious about roughly how far along it is comparatively.

The top picture was about 9 months from opening, the bottom one 11 months.

... following up to this, Mater started testing about four months after the second photo.

You think if the attraction finished in 11 months they would just have it sit empty until Slinky was ready?

The question is how long it would take to get the guests area that lead up to it ready to open.

There will also be AA "claws" swinging down at you from the ceiling.

I'm not sure where you heard about AA claws..............I'd bet money that the Claws are static

With the new aerials, i know they are still working on the footings, but are we gonna see any terrain changings with the track of the course like in the original concept art? Or is it gonna be more flat like the second round of concept art?

I found the construction sequence in the plans. The hashed areas will be built first and these will eventually be the ramps from Osceola to Victory. Short term they will carry the traffic around the construction area while build the new bridge over Victory.

Look at all that space for a third attraction... they should just build it now.

When they eventually get round to building it the immersion they are going for will be ruined by one side of the land being a building site for 2-3 years.

its too bad their building the building along the outer edge like that, that makes there be zero chances of them expanding the actual park border once the parking entrance lanes are removed

and not sure what the backstage building on the west side just north of the yellow building is,

but too bad they couldnt incorporate that into a ground floor of one of the attraction buildings then put the attraction above

thats enough space for another attraction

THere's a lot of other areas that are better suited for expansion anyway.

I believe most of this is available expansion pad for SWL.

Also, they could always build parking garages on the existing parking sites and build on top of the new parking area.

Apart from ploughing through the midddle of the new SWL substation.

Maintainance base for all the US parks. At the moment it's not going anywhere.

So... umm.... build over the substation? Maybe include it as part of the attraction. "Can you feel the hum of this new space station? It's electric!!"

The expansion area is between the new land and the GMR building for now.

There may be other long term plans for the area (or there abouts) you highlighted.

Essentially where the earth brim will be built per your drawing correct?
