I don't think there is any intent to bring the parade between the Mine Train and Pooh, if that's what you mean. The west end of Fantasyland is off limits for floats because the CHH dining roommaking entry from LS/Frontierland impossible. The rest of the land is either too busy or too narrow, though they may be able to squeeze by the Tea Cups.

That is why I said "forward thinking". Could be there are longer range plans to relocate a few elements. It appears to me they have not done anything to make that impossible. At the very least there are no new elements that would create a tighter squeeze than that they currently deal with in Liberty Square.

This is really great, and the news that the exterior of the mine train could be finished by December is very appealing!

That's definitely plenty of time to get steel done since it goes up super fast - it's all basically dependant on getting the foundations in on the south side...what I'm wondering is this vague term of outward aspects being presentation ready by this fall - that sounds unrealistic to me. I don't really think it'll take any less than 6 months from start to finish for the rock work portion and they have a little ways to go before even starting the rock work.
I guess I'm just wondering if wdw71fan or anyone else would actually know what presentation ready would really mean.

Thanks for sharing. Are these Disney images or your own work?The only real heavy lifting type construction is the mountain, most of the track is at ground level. This diagram is the structural steel for the mountain

I colored in red the parts that still have to go up, everything else went together in the last 2 months
I seems to me that they could finish off the mountain and get the track on top of it in 2 months from now if that's the rumor going around

Cool steel pic! Looks like it comes right from the steel manufacturer's website,
it's listed under their projects.
How did you find these, hiding in plain sight?

Yeah, I am also very skeptical of it being "presentation ready" by fall. The rock work on BatB too over a year to complete, and the coaster is at least as big, if not bigger.

I don't know if it will be full "presentation ready" by fall, but I think it will be close. Don't forget with the rock work on BatB they were also doing rock work on LM, so with all the focus on the mountain, it should go up twice as fast. It may not be fully painted, and sculpted, but there should be enough that the majority of the steel is covered which would really help tying into the illusion.

Yes, the red and yellow are the M&G exits.
The pink is just a door into the BOG lobby.

That pic is great! The colored arrows really help and show all the depth of the rock work. Gah, can't wait for this..

Through the cottage, I assume?

Yep.
In looking at the plans, it appears that there are two entrances, each leading into what appears to be a preshow or holding room. One is considerably smaller than the other, which has me wondering if one is a FastPass or XPass line.
