Volcano Bay 4/18/17

with 5 weeks to go they are cutting it close. Lot of cranes still onsite and lots of unfinished areas. But it does seem like progress has either accelerated from the last set, or that it simply looks like it as portions are getting a more finished look.

Worthless I know, but keep your eyes open when flying to MCO

Yeah I don't see any soft openings happening weeks before it's official opening date. With that said, I'm at least happy to finally see the beach area. Can't wait to lounge around there since I won't be going to the beach next year.

Question- Won't the Muppet Courtyard be right in the middle of Star Wars Land? I'm struggling to figure out how they connect Star Tours and the new land without losing some of the theming for the Muppets.

No. Star Tours will most likely be converted or removed once Star Wars land opens. Star tours will not be part of Star Wars land.

Excited to no end about Star Wars land but I am going to be really sad once Star Tours goes. I'd imagine that area will eventually become an Indiana Jones area.

Star Tours will stay in Paris so I guess that's something

Wow! I don't know how I missed that! I'm shocked they would get rid of the one ride that matches the theming of the new land.

It actually wouldn't match the theming of the new land.

Will there be a new ride there?

No, they would just retheme the simulators from Star Tours to something else most likely.

Well that could be exciting right? I wonder what movie would get the spot

well, if they can get the whole rights thing worked out it would be easy to port over the Ironman ride they now have in Hong Kong that uses the same basic simulator I would think

Yep. I'm not sure they would go with a Marvel IP tho.

I don't think they can because stark industries is mentioned in islands of adventure as well as having a cameo of iron man on Spider-Man

Correct they wouldn't be able to use Iron man but they could use other Marvel properties. With that said I don't think they would there.

What a great set of photos. And what a huge construction site. These really give you the scale of what is going on. DHS is going to be a very different place when all this opens.

WOW this construction site is huge. How do you think they got Walt's plane out and where'd it go?\

Walt's plane left a long time ago and is in a storage facility.
