It is shown at the base of the flagpole, just inside the entrance gates. But we now have confirmed that the statue will be across the street from the Carthay Circle Theater, in a small planter of its own. But it was very, very cool to finally see that model up close, and get photos from various angles. It will almost certainly get moved to the Blue Sky Cellar this month.

The Condor Flats sign is gone, replaced by a large archway welcoming guests to "Grizzly Rapids." This reflects the proposal to eliminate the Condor Flats theme, and extend Grizzly Peak all the way through to the entrance. Both Soarin' and Taste Pilots would have been given a National Parks makeover.
