Thanks for all the photo updates!

I can't wait for work tomorrow so I can actually see them.

EDIT: I originally added the image (as a link to the one on his site), but didn't want to run afoul of Copyright...

Those are mine - I appreciate the consideration... I was going to post a couple but the board won't let me until I have 10 posts so, this is #1

I know that there were other very similar aerial photos from Scott Keating, but I found these from the Orlando Attractions Magazine. It includes a video as well, and gets some pretty good close-ups. I didn't see the video posted here.

EDIT: Includes some of EPCOT, Hyperion Wharf, and the Art of Animation Resort. (If you think I should post this as an individual thread so others can see it (that might not see it here) and it includes other photos, I will, but I didn't want to have duplicate threads).

Scott, I am amazed by the quality of the photos and am curious about your equipment (camera, lenses, etc.) especially how you get these given the TFR for WDW... I have an idea but it would be a guess.

Thanks again for the great images!

Hi, thanks... Right now I'm using a Nikon D300. I use different lenses, but my main aerial lens is a 1974 Nikkor 135/2.8.

Everything I shoot is outside/over the TFR. If we ever have to get a waiver for work inside it I'll make really good use of it!

I know we still have to wait over a year at WDW... but this video is making me very excited for Ariel's Undersea Adventure!

So cool!! How similar do you think the two rides will be? Are they going to be exactly the same, or just similar?

Everything i've heard is saying that the East and West coast versions of the ride are identical. the only differences are in the show building itself, but that has more to do with their different parks and location themeing than the ride itself.

I'm so excited they're FINALLY doing something more with Beauty and the Beast! It's my favorite Disney movie, and I turned into a little child the second I heard that they were building Beast's castle! We're going this May, and I'm very dissapointed that it will not be near completion when we go, but that just gives us a reason to head back AS SOON as It's completed!

So, what are our thoughts on the new HM queue?

 

[mistydoodles]

I don't think I really like the interactive queues. I haven't seen the Haunted Mansion one in person but I did see Pooh's. While it looked really nice I found it just made the area so darn loud.

 

[kwitcherkicken99]

There's a video on the Disney Parks blog that shows what they did.

I know it opened yesterday, but I've not heard any feedback yet!

So, what are our thoughts on the new HM queue?

i've watched the video on the blog and looks pretty cool. if nothing else, it will help with the line ending up way out in liberty square on busy days. apparently it has misters/water shooting out too for hot days, gotta love that. I think it is a great addition and they do give you the option of bypassing it if you want from what I have read/seen.

I thought the Pooh queue was cute too- my DS (3yo) loved it.
