Volcano Bay Construction & Preview Discussion

[Andysol]

I always thought Disney was king of the rockwork and mountains. With Kong done and this vulcano going up there is clearly a new king in town.

Well- until Pandora opens that is...

 

[Mike S]

Well- until Pandora opens that is...

Yeah. This is one area where Disney is still king. Kong's stonework is nice and all but it's nowhere near what Disney did with Cars Land let alone Pandora.

I was going to make a comparison between VB and Avatar but Avatar is on such a grand scale that you can let even compare the two.

Quality wise I think they're pretty similar.

 

[Joel]

This project is my last hurrah and I am very excited about it.

Please explain, I hope you're still teebin for Nintendo!

 

[Mad Dog]

Well, remember the price tag for Avatar is around 1 Billion. It sure as hell better look good.

Good luck Tina...

Now we are talkin! Can finally see the opening forming for the observation deck and drop slide platform, and all that time I thought we were getting near the top eh.




And just to give you an idea on the size of steel used :

 

[Scott W.]

It's going to be interesting to see how much more they can cram into the volcano as it starts getting narrower at the top.

I think looking at the pictures with people at the top and how small they are I will assume they can get a lot more than we think in there. Thats what I am hoping anyway, cant wait to see the theming start indie for this thing.

At that height though, I imagine it's going to be too high to build any more water slides.

I'm very curious to see how you're going to move about inside the volcano. I imagine there will be a lift inside that will take you maybe half way up to the majority of the slides and then stairs to anything that's higher up.

Maybe they'll build a basketball court up there...

 

[Mad Dog]

Home & Away series against the Matterhorn Five.

To one up Disney it'll be a full court and not a half court

"And Leon is getting larger."

To be fair Universal could have done on par work with both Cars Land and Pandora should those properties were available to them a.

 

[Teebin]

This is looking ballsier all the time. Frig me!

 

[Scott W.]

Disney should probably rename all their mountain attractions as hills after this is complete.

 

[Mad Dog]

To be fair Universal could have done on par work with both Cars Land and Pandora should those properties were available to them a.

And without spending as much money to build them.

 

[BJCool]

Wishful thinking.....

This could be used as a proof of concept that Uni could literally make Mount Doom in a Lord of the Rings land. I just have a sliver of hope the Tolkien estate might one day be swayed. ray:

What I meant was the quality of the rock work itself. Disney still does it best.
