Does Disney need to get involved in the decision?
However it was done, the photos were taken at a higher than normal height for most of Bio's aerials and I'm incredibly impressed that the photos are so clear.

Not sure if this is what you meant, but while the station is split on two sides the load and unload on each side are actually separate areas, so like how Dragon Challenge was. Guess they wanted to give people as much time as possible to get loaded in to the motorbike seating.
No Disney would not be involved, the aircraft would just have to request permission with the controller. Usually they will ask the reason and approve or deny, so it does happen but all at the discretion of the controller. The NOTAM is 3000 feet AGL (above ground level), with a 3 mile radius from Latitude: 28º24'45"N, Longitude: 81º34'20"W which appears to be a small island just south of the Contemporary. That restriction is only in that area, anything above 3000 feet should be good to go directly over Disney.
Must've just been waiting for Universal to take theirs down at the Potter coaster
After seeing the progress on this and Guardians, I don't see how Guardians isn't opening until 2021 and I don't see how this one *can* open up in 2021.
It's only February 2019. Tron also contractually CAN'T open in WDW until June 16th 2021 or later since Shanghai has a 5 year exclusivity. If they had to push the opening of this out to fall 2021, that's gives it about 32-34 months from now - or almost 3 years. It's a simple launch coaster with the toughest part of the build likely being the canopy. They should be fine.After seeing the progress on this and Guardians, I don't see how Guardians isn't opening until 2021 and I don't see how this one *can* open up in 2021.
Definitely a much more complex build for Guardians, but they're already so far along that it does boggle the mind how it's gonna take until 2021. Of course the UoE building is literally nothing but a giant shell right now, so the queue and load platforms have a LONG way to go.

Maybe, but we have yet to hear any compelling evidence that there's going to be anything particularly noteworthy (i.e. complex) happening during the coaster segments of Guardians. Certainly nothing that would warrant another 2+ years of work, anyway.
Tower crane tower is complete, and the actual crane boom is going up today.
There is synchronicity at work :rock: Rob just joined Alicia on her latest podcast :thumbsup:
Funny enough, that just popped up on my YouTube feed. I really like Rob and his videos. Well presented and no bs self promotion.
