Volcano Bay Construction & Preview Discussion

Okay so we'll send @Hockeyman55 up into the sky with his camera, and then bribe @Teebin to comb thru the work to give us the 411 on what's going on. I'll start the pool with $20 bucks

We actually did this once if I'm remembering correctly - didn't we do a crowdfund for Diagon Alley chopper pics?
If not I think it might be a good idea for this, or better yet when Nintendo starts in Orlando...

If memory serves me correct this was planned and then funded and then some stuff happened and it fell through

Is Mickey flying in a chopper or is he using a drone?

My money is on it being a drone

I'm guessing a chopper, because if you look at the way he uploaded the last set of photos - he did a clockwise loop around the park heading south and then ended it with him going north again. Looks like he only made one pass and hit the rapid fire on his camera to take the pics.

We need a great camera (@Hockeyman55), someone with a good eye for detail (@Hockeyman55), maybe a shot list (@Teebin, @Andy, @Drew, @epcyclopedia, @Mad Dog), and a 'copter that'll do 5 of 6 real passes around the park. Have @Hockeyman55 give us some availability so we can send him up if he's willing to do it for us.

Curious as ever. You can see how they create the multi style thatch.

(oh no! there's even bamboo in the link!... bamboo bamboo bamboo)

The thatch dealers at IAAPA were everywhere this year. Everyone is thatching...

 

[P@n!K_Sw1tC#]

Thatching and berms are so hot right now.

I'll get a close up look at the unfinished park real soon. Leaving for Orlando tonight. 5 nights at Sapphire Falls, 9 nights at Portofino Bay . And, I'll slum it for four day trips to WDW . As is my habit, I'll mostly disappear from the Forum during the vacation. Talk to you all when I get back. :thumbsup: . Be cool. :shades:

Have a great trip MD! Keep a north eye out for details of anything I would be interested in. Too, I want to see a picture of you and your GF with one of the Velociraptors in JP. Be careful you don't get bitten!

Took the DSLR for a little stroll this morning. Highlight was seeing the slides being tested and getting the riders to give me a wave!

What is that white tank going to be filled with? Too, a few of those pics show the heavy landscaping allowing one to peek through and see the hints of color. I wish they would do a bit more of that on the I-4 side, but they aren't done yet!

Great pics amityboat!

Honestly I would assume some sort of ozone or some other gas or liquid for the water systems.
