Neither entrance is a grand one. They're more something that matches the area you are leaving and that hide SWL from outside views. Much like walking into Diagon Alley. But without the London bit.

There won't be a show building backing up to that area?
No. it appears an area will be left empty that's big enough for a show building between TSMM, GMR and SWL.

Just re-read the thread, I assume the berm will be between TSL and SWL. I was thinking of the area where Cat Canyon was.
Cat Canyon will be backstage servicing and parking.
Is the exit going to come out at the same point as entry?
Thanks phoenicians

Is part of that an expansion pad for SWL?

I thought timelines had it in 2018.
2017 was for Avatar
2018 for TSL
2019 for SWL
2019 to 2020 for GMR fix and GotG in UoE?
Sure they probably could, but I thought the order was:
2017 - Pandora
2018 - TSL
2019 - SWL
2020 - EPCOT stuff
Just so they have something new for each of the next 4 years.
Great minds, you know.

Great minds, you know.
I agree...I thought that was the plan too. But seeing the ground cleared, foundations starting and realizing the simplicity of TSL...seems like a long time to build from this point forward to say summer 2018.

You know what's funny?
maybe the detail is more than we think...or maybe they are just going to move slow, lol...

That's what has been said on here as rumored opening times, but it's not like there wouldn't be anything new for 2018 if TSL were to open earlier, there's the GMR and Stitch replacements planned I believe.
We are all hoping that some of the timelines are being pushed, and that even more is on the way that we don't even know about as of yet. Sometimes, the insiders are told not to talk about something that they may know about. We can only hope.

I agree. I mean, they seem to be going at a relatively solid pace right now, and are going vertical... 12-14 months seems like it should be enough to finish this, in time to get it open for the 2017 holiday season.
Of course, this is all just wishful thinking, but at the same time I doubt it's outside the realm of possibility...after all, there was once a point where Pandora was rumored to be going into 2018 I think and it's looking like thats going to be opening a lot sooner.

Well, as long as I have the first shot...
The dang ladder won't be done being used in Avatar til late 2017, so they need time to move it to DHS to finish TSL.....

Is the green path in the bottom right of the land the exit to TSMM? Also, this hasn't been discussed a whole lot, but any thoughts on what the likely timeline is regarding the demolition of the buildings that are where he land entrance will be? If not/can't say, no problem, thanks for the great layout visual!

Maybe they want to get TSL up and running quickly so they can do GMR-Mickey before SWL opens without a net loss in current attractions. It just seems weird, something's not adding up.
