Maybe they will paint them or add some concept art in the coming days. Or, better yet, do like what they've done in MK around SDMT.

Yeah, I'd imagine in the next couple days they'll plaster up TLK poster art similar to SDMT. Hopefully they also offer a sneak peak through like with what they did for the Mine Train which is what you mentioned. The thing I took away from that Disney Blog was the last few lines when they said:

"It seems likely FotLK will have to close in order to move the show building, lights, and equipment, or will Disney use completely new materials to build a new arena. There’s bound to be some closure time. The question is just how much". My wild (non intelligent) guess would be that they close/shutdown FOTLK in CMM 2 weeks before the new theater is ready to open so they can get the above accomplished. Another thing I want to bring up is when the move does occur, will they immediately tear down the theater currently up now to make room for possible Avatarland?

Good luck to whom ever tries to get over the wall construction pics.

Why not just use the door? o_O

They've also filed the paperwork to (finally) change the old Beastly Bazaar building into the Adventurers Outpost character greeting area. Whatever else happens, it's clear Camp Minniemickey will soon be a thing of the past.

I was honestly not impressed with the FotLK show. I expected much more than big puppets and acrobats. Will there be a new show to go along with this new building? At any rate, I'd much rather have a Lion King dark ride.

I think you're in the minority here. It's consistently rated as one of the best shows on property. I wouldn't expect to see any major changes to it with the move though.

Still waiting for some permits (Notices of Commencement) to pop up for this. Construction walls don't require a permit and I am guessing that land clearing doesn't either, but something should show up soon.

just curious what are you excited about? the new FOTLK? i wonder if it will be any different... knowing TDO everything will be the same change changing locations

Well, at least the show will be in the right land now.
Just like how the Nemo musical should be in Australia (if it existed)

It looks like the construction wall is on the bridge itself, is that right? If so, I don't see what exactly it would be covering up, other than some work to the bridge.
