Disney’s Animal Kingdom Helicopter Photo Update | Pandora- The World Of AVATAR

Screen Shot 2015-11-17 at 10.55.21 PM

Now for the moment all of you have been waiting for. If you’ve been following along with out helicopter photo update series, earlier this week we took a look at Sea World Orlando, then Disney Springs and Disney’s Hollywood Studios. On Monday we looked at the Magic Kingdom, River Country and Discovery Island; and last night we took a look at the construction going on at EPCOT. This will be our final installment of the helicopter photo update (until we fly again!) For this update we will be focusing on Disney’s Animal Kingdom… Without further adieu, let’s begin!

The entrance of Disney’s Animal Kingdom is lookin’ good!

The gigantic Tree Of Life…

Expedition Everest in all of it’s glory (minus the disco-yeti)

The new Rivers Of Light nighttime show has been under construction at Animal Kingdom for quite awhile now, here you can see the full show lagoon.

Another angle of the lagoon-

A closer look at one of the viewing areas. Do you think it will be standing room only or will it have seats?

This is the old service area for the former Discovery River Boats attraction, it is now the service area of Rivers Of Light.

These 2 props from the Discovery River Boats still remain backstage!

This is the backstage area where the parking trams and the Kilimanjaro Safari trucks are stored-

The parade building

You can still see a sign for the extinct Mickey’s Jammin’ Jungle Parade on the parade storage building!

Moving onto Pandora- The World Of AVATAR

The floating mountains will look fantastic.

The giant concrete slab appears to be the main restaurant of the land-

Here’s a very interesting image looking directly down on Pandora- The World Of AVATAR.

Another view of the floating mountains..

Lots of work going on here

In this image you can see the ride track for the boat ride. Notice the track is not for your typical boat ride ride system (small world/maelstrom). Could this ride be using a system similar to the Shanghai Disneyland Pirates Of The Caribbean?
