Why did the bus stop berm get ripped up? That was a ton of plant material.

expansion of bus loop

Has the expansion happened in that picture or is it still to come?

It's still to come I believe, but I don't keep up with this kind of stuff. I do know that the berm will be partially replaced.

Is this still on schedule for an April 2017 Earth Day opening or a Fall 2017 opening? Any WDW insiders speaking out on an opening?

Disney keeps pulling this blue-green on the leaves of fake plants. They did it to the tree of life and now there is a ton of blue-green on these floating mountains. Look at the rest of the jungle of real plants in the background. They are yellow-green, all of them.

I was under the impression that the Earth Day opening was more wishful thinking than anything else.

I know the originally date was Earth Day, and that it was on track for that date as of four months ago. I haven't heard of any delays, but then again I would only know of one from someone on here or a different forum.

Apparently they learned the lesson of the Yeti...I can't quite explain it because I don't quite understand the context, but apparently there is a show scene that will be amazing and it is amazingly complicated to maintain. From the sound of it they have a system to pull the scene backstage quickly and have replacements of all the elements on hand ready to install when needed. No disco animatronics if something stops working...

Are you referring to the river ride?

Perhaps he is, but Flight of Passage is also going to have a pretty elaborate queue with multiple scenes, as well as whatever secrets it has up its sleeve during the ride.

He may be referring to the queue of Flight of Passage, but I think the more likely scenario is that it is one of the indoor scenes of the river ride. Have they released the name for that?

 

[Teebin]

Well, at least it is something to wonder about on here. Not much of that lately.

OU Forum was sucked into space by a Pandora life force, and never heard from again. Or so it seems.

They will be replanting. It's just part of expanding the bus loop.

That's part of the mystery to me. It wasn't made clear which attraction they were talking about.

The info I got was interesting. Lots of weird details about the process and not a lot about the content.

For me, the process is the best part and what I have to be careful talking about on here.

I have no interest in this IP but these pictures have me pretty excited. Can't wait to see it at night
