I am a CM but also a pilot....on a recent day, i took a long flight over WDW....i have done this many times over the past year and i would like to share what i have noticed....
Construction....
Pop Century.....
...looks like this is going to be 2 seperate hotels....the first is near the access road that runs from the sports complex to the firestation near Epcot.....it has the main foodcourt building done (inside no idea) it also has 2 more hotel buildings up but without theming yet....a third has a fondation....the rest of the area has nothing but the parkinglot done.....there has been 0% added from jan 2002 when i first went over it......the second hotel.....it has all of its buildings up....all are themed....all pools are done BUT no water or chairs....most landscaping is done...all parkinglots are done (again no idea on insides)....there is a lake that seperates the 2 hotels with a bridge through the center.......the footprints of the buildings are 100% the same as the ALLSTAR complex......there has been little activity over the past year as far as contruction trucks are concerned.....when i see the pools with water and the chairs put out....i will let you know....that will be a clue of it opening soon
Mission Space.
..the building is smaller then the all of the other FW pavillions....still have the construction wall up in the back of the building....thats about it....
Bonnet Creak...
all the trees have been cleared.....the access road is nearly done....it is going to be really close to the CB resort....
DAK...
the propossed areas that the rumored new lands/attractions have always been cleared from the day they started the park, wile there has been no activity in this area over the past year....i can say that if they are going to build i think i know where .........there is an access road that goes all the way around the park...this road is right behind most lands, however, there is a large area between the road and the current developed areas.....this area is inbetween the train tracks and the water ride......very large cleared area that is just asking for something.....one thing more...that area near Camp MM and the Rainforrest Cafe that was rumored as a place for and Eticket IS VERY SMALL....maybe just big enough for one ride BUT not a whole land.....
MGM
they have paved one forth of the parking lot.....looks nice.....hope they do the rest...it needs it....
there is no room anywhere for this park to develop out.....it is surounded by the parking lot (allthought look at IOA and DCA both built on lots) on one side, the access road on another, world drive on the other, and the epcot resort area on the other.....
Epcot.....
from the Air, you can clearly see room for about 2 or 3 more "countries"......about that Land, Sea and Air rumor....there is room inbetween, but not as much as you would think....the shape of the Seas building and the Lion KIng theater in the Land add to making this area smaller then appaers from the park.....
well thats about all i have........
