October 18th Mine Train Update

[Scuttle]

I'm thinking we need some new aerial pics...

Thanks for the update!

I'll try and get a set of aerials for 7DMT within the next month and then it's onto focusing on Avatar. My Plan is to get aerials once a month to check the progression frequently.

Sorry if this has been posted, but this shows some good updates a little closer! Some nice shots of the bridge around 1:00 !!!

So is this going to be a log bridge or regular bridge? Guessing regular...

Looks like the pointy roof seen recently just over the other side of the wall will be the entrance/CM shade. The real cottage looks further back.

Sounds good. Look forward to seeing what you can capture.

I have high hopes since you can get down to 1,000 feet around AK

That would great to see in photos how that really progresses. Hopefully you'll see some fairly consistent work going on.

Wouldn't that be low hopes?

Anyone know why construction has suddenly kick started on the mountain?

Fiscal year 2014 started October 1st. This ride is scheduled to open during FY14, so all of its remaining funding has been released.

So is that an homage to 20k Leagues atop this building being used as a wind vane? If so, w00t!

Good to see some of the yellow mesh coming down. Every picture was starting to look the same cuz it was everywhere.

Not coming down, being covered by rockwork.

I'm going to put this out there (and I am considering myself a genius for thinking of it, but I am also guessing there are about 4000 of you that have already yourselves): what is the mine coaster going to do to the SOUND of FL? Currently, there aren't and 'reason to scream' rides in FL, so the tone of the space has been 'calmer'. I am wondering how the sounds of rollercoaster + kids screaming will effect the ambiance of FL. Thoughts?

Its Fantasyland. If you are there between the hours of 10-4 on any given day, even a jackhammer couldn't make it any louder than it already is.

I scream on the Barnstormer.

I scream on Small World. Usually something like "Let me off this darn boat!!!"
