The Fantasyland Expansion, Potter Phase 2, and Transformer threads get a gazillion pages of discussion and hype, yet this and the TurtleTrek threads are almost a year old and both have BARELY 10 pages?

Poor SeaWorld gets no love. :'(

Nope not much for BGT either, most can't stand to lose a day away from WDW or US.

SeaWorld: No One Cares

I try to take an interest in SeaWorld...but I just can't get all that jazzed up about it. Manta and Kraken are awesome, and Antarctica looks great...but the rest of the park is just yawn worthy, IMO.

Truth: build a coaster and people get exited about any park... Build a dark ride and people are excited but don't pay as much attention...
Disney - build benches for fantasmic and the thread is 10 pages long

AmusementPics has posted another wonderful construction update. Progress is very visible as more walls and steel start to go up.

Additionally, AmusementPics stated the following regarding opening time frames....

They are making INCREDIBLE progress on the Antarctica area. I found out the current plan is to have things open by the end of May 2013 and the project is on schedule.

Thanks for the updates BJCool! :rep: I haven't kept up with this project in a while, so it's a nice surprise to see this so far along. Looks great! May, 2013 is just around the corner :thumbs:

PS: It's so awesome (for us) that one can get aerial shots so easily for this! if only we had one of these towers at Uni...

And when nobody is in the skytower, they provide us with a helicopter shot in the video

 

[Hatetofly]

Thats an older shot but still very cool. I am getting a little more excited about this project :thumbs:
