Whenever I take photos from a roller coaster.... First, I ride it at least a couple of times to make sure I know where I could have problems... NEVER use the eye piece, you should use the digital screen, or just point in the right direction. Make sure the strap is secure to your body. SAFETY FIRST!!!

To be honest I'm surprised Disney even allows this, since it can get you kicked off coasters in other parks (if not ejected from the park). It's a major safety hazard and not worth the risk to the guests below.

Originally Posted By FerretAfros It's back up again, and the picture scares me a little (for you, not what's actually going on back there). It looks like they are already making pretty good progress, and it will be a fairly large building (I think it looks like it will be larger than Monsters Inc, but I can't really tell that well, plus there is the area where there are already other buildings, so they will make it bigger). Also, did you get those pictures of the sub area from Space Mountain? They seem to be at a different angle (closer to 90 degrees) than the Innoventions ones, but it would take an insane zoom to get some of those pictures.

Not only will it be on the land being cleared behind the coaster but also in front of the coaster and under the coaster.
Originally Posted By BlueOhanaTerror >>>BlueOhanaTerror -- That area had already been designated for expansion.<<< Yes, I know this. And about the other sections designated for other development. My point is, that DCA is best served by multi-purposing of ANY real estate available. Much like some of the GC Hotel sits above some of Downtown Disney, there should be attractions atop restaurants, or vice versa. You could put a whole new attraction in the Condor Flats area, by removing that shop and bathrooms structure, and putting in a multi-story facility.

"Preparation will begin for a new guest experience in that sound stage later this year," said Walt Disney World spokesman Jacob DiPietre. He could not comment further about the new attraction. Some Disney-MGM employees were advised of a new ride this year. One, Bob Frazier, a veteran Disney employee who is a trainer, coordinator and attraction host at Disney-MGM, said the planned new ride was described to him as a top attraction, and as a cross between Universal Studios' Men in Black and Disneyland's Roger Rabbit's Car Toon Spin. Both of those rides take people in cars through a maze of indoor scenes with robotic characters and other special effects. On Men in Black, riders shoot ray guns at aliens and tally scores. On Roger Rabbit, riders have some control over driving their cars.<<
