I guess that is where soarning will go.

If it's there, I've never seen it (or never noticed it anyway).
Or, is that a model of a building that doesn't exist yet? |

Tue 9/18/2007 11:36p | Which plot is this behind Port Discovery? If it's the one next to Indy, I would be surprised, since there is already a coaster on the other side of that building. The only other place I can think of is between PD and Mt Prometheus, but there is a lot of backstage stuff back there that would need to be moved, so I have no idea where that would go. |

It is indeed that plot of land. It's a very large piece of land (I would estimate it's large enough for at least major 2 E-tickets). I'm pretty sure that land will eventually go to Port Discovery for an expansion of some sort. A roller coaster attraction is one of the supposed rumors. And I don't think the fact that Raging Spirits is a short walk away will make any difference; it will very likely be a full-scale roller coaster attraction like Space Mountain at Disneyland Paris (or so I've been told). |

Page 75 of Imagineering - Behind the Dreams look at making the magic real.
The facade of the show building looks similar to the Hard Rock Coliseum in Universal Orlando. |

I wouldn't be surprised if the facade was styled after the Roman Coliseum. After all, that particular area contains very Roman-style architecture. |
