I agree. Even the "Tile Game shuffle" aspect is intriguing.

Starting to take away all that dirt.

Some construction started and a good look at some of the pits/elevation changes that they've made.

Can we assume that's the beginnings of the DLRR track bed in the last picture?
Yes @Dr. Hans Reinhardt - or the foundation for the rock work that the track sits on at least.
I'm very excited for pictures in about a weeks time, the whole train course should be 100% obvious by then. It already pretty much is.

From MousePlanet:
"After so many weeks of watching bulldozers move piles of dirt around the Star Wars Land construction site, it was pretty exciting last week to see the first signs of vertical construction in the project. Disney also just filed a building permit to install "shoring for (the) first attraction" in Star Wars Land."
Things seem to be moving pretty fast.

Actually, using the massive Cars Land project as a point of reference, this stage of construction looks a lot like December, 2009. Cars Land was completed and began soft openings two and a half years later in May, 2012.
The date that Miceage released when it revealed its famous maps of Star Wars land (that look more accurate by the week) seems very plausible. That Miceage opening date was "Christmas 2018" if memory serves correct.
Two and a half years from now.

The horrible and oppressive climate in Orlando can't be conducive to efficient and speedy construction.
I hated just having to run errands half the year when I lived in the Deep South. I can't even imagine being tasked with daily heavy construction.

I read somewhere that the ROA and DLRR are scheduled to be up and running by next summer.

If that includes the new rock work and waterfalls that's pretty cool. U assume it would.

That's what I was thinking too. You can get a good view of it from the Big Thunder Trail through the fence. I don't remember as much wood being up last Wednesday...could see a clearer concrete path if I remember correctly.

The Star Wars Experience at Christmas. We can only hope this is playing all through the new land.

Sooooo.... if that is the track bed, how exactly will guests cross it into SW Land? Surely they aren't going to have both the walkway and the railroad at grade level.

What do you get a Wookiee for Christmas when he already owns a comb?

Could it possibly be for footers/support for the trestles that allows the train to go over the path?

You really don't know the answer? Wow!
We've computed the perfect gift. Here it is!
A Brush!
Mine train only took 2.5 years. Pandora will be a bit over 3.
They are throwing lots of money at this to get it done in 35 months. *hopefully*
The track is above grade on the trestle/rockwork. Guests go underneath through windy tunnels or a gully.
Edit: Yes what @RMichael21 said
