It wont be complete until they find locations for the rusty bikes and power lines.
It looks like it is going up fast, although I wonder if the actual ride and rockwork is done too early, if park management will just try to get it open and attracting more ppl, sans the details.

does anyone have a 3d track layout drawn up yet. not the 3d model that the imagineers are stending infront of, but just the track itself. thanks.

The concrete only goes up to a certain point but what will make up the rest of the mountain? Steel and formed cement later on? Of course they had to keep it opened up for track placement but i was just wondering .

you know...
I have a lot of time on my hands...and a realistic 3d simulator...I could build one (and you folks could ride it for free).
Hmm.

You ain't kidding, I have never seen that level of theming before, even at AK. It is VERY good to know that the ability to accomplish this kind excellence is still there! :slurp:Originally posted by josh_e_washie
At first things don't look to grandiose...then you see the scale figure and whammo! That thing is quite tall! And look at all the detail work on that building....those guys at WDI are AMAZING!!!!!!

Since you can see the Tree of Life from 192, this means that the mountain will be in plain sight when completed.

no limits coaster...
no limits coaster...the demo allows you to watch coasters.
If anyone has schematics of the track, I can tool with it to create a virtual coaster and you can ride it to your hearts content.

Someone asked about the construction of it....
I highly doubt it will be as tall as that yellow crane. If it were, they'd need to bring in another, taller crane to finish it off. 99.9% of the time, the crane people will bring the crane only once, to do the whole project, thus, they won't be getting another crane.
As for your questions, WDWFAnatic, yes they will leave it open until steel erection is complete. Then, they'll probably install any interior scenes, etc. Then they'll get out the rebar cages and wire mesh to form the "rock" and then spray it with gunnite (spray-applied concrete). This is done on all Disney mountains.

You can get an exellent view from the top of Summit Plummit, TOT, and I don't know which road is 192 (the one you can see AKL from?) but since you can see AKL from there, Everest will be visible soon. Also, when you take a bus into AK, and you go over the hill to the busloop, you can get a birds eye view, and you can really see how it compares with the Tree Of Life.
TOT, which is the same height as Everest will be, is visible from the Polynesian ampt. complexes (by Mirage Apartments) and that's almost 5 or 6 miles away.
By the way, if they keep up at this pace, the track will be completed in no time. I took my Everest pictures on Sunday, and these were taken on Monday...a whole new section of track has been added since then. Also, it looks like the drop coming out the front of the mountain will go far underground. A big trench was built in the area that looks like the drop will end up in, and a GIANT mountain of dirt was placed at the rivers edge.
