Thanks for finding these. Disney isn't exactly exerting themselves, are they?

There's actually a lot of the groundwork done for the rides here. The Spinner ride pretty much has all of its concrete forms done (in the foreground) and that big wall at the back is for the load station of the Slinky coaster.

So if this is to open in 2018, it seems about on schedule.

You have better eyes than I have. I will confess that I wouldn't know much of foundations aside from hoping that mine holds up. The coaster should go up pretty quick. It doesn't look to be too heavily themed. I would think that they will start pouring footers pretty soon.

This was what the last aerial update looked like in October:

They filled in the drainage canal, which many people were using as a fixed object to interpret size and orientation from the concept art. So those early guesses are likely a bit off from where things will actually be.

 

[Dan B]

They appear to have done a nice amount of concrete work since the last photo, now all the land is cleared and concrete started things should progress much faster, not getting my hopes too high though.

I'm actually pleasantly surprised by the progress being made here. I still don't think there's any excuse not to have this ready for Christmas of next year, but I'm not getting my hopes up.

Also, what's that structure in the top photo going to become? I can't seem to place that into the concept art.

The structure in the top left is the maintenance bay for the Slinky Coaster. The station/load platform will be placed in front of this.

is that the employee parking garage next store? I hope they do some "magic" to block the view of that.

Considering the height of Slinky, I can't imagine it being hidden particularly well. Also the two bungalows that didn't get torn down.. the heck..? How are they going to hide those?

Yep... I have a feeling we may see a mural on the side of the parking garage and a plethora of trees in between as well. As for the coaster view like @epcyclopedia alluded to... You'll be able to see World Drive from that thing too. There's somethings you just can't hide from people seeing when you build a coaster like that.
