I think I actually saw you getting that Crush's Turtle Twister photo ;-)

Thanks for the pictures and info, Eric!  Is the Tarzan show in French?  And, to me, the tracks for "Crush's Turtle Twister" look to be outside...are they going to build a building around it/over it?  

Crush's Turtle Twister will be an indoor coaster with a small drop outside of the building.  Concept art of the ride here at WDSfans.com:

The Tarzan Encounter has almost no dialogues, but uses medley's of Phil Collins songs in different languages.  It's very very different from the Animal Kingdom show.  Our version is more a "Cirque du Soleil" version with acrobats.

Great....you know some studio exec just saw the Tarzan/Cirque du Soleil comment and is now thinking he just came up with a brilliant idea on how to fix the Broadway musical.

I have an idea.....why don't you have Adam Sandler star as Tarzan and Julia Roberts as Jane....................GAK!!

"I mean, some of those turns on this indoor roller coaster look pretty tight to me."

If it's anything like Primeval Whirl (in AK), the turns will be extremely tight. This type of ride is just extremely fun to go on but is definitely not for the weak-of-stomach. :)

There's been plenty of comments about how much some of Tarzan already resembles a Cirque du Soleil production, I'm sure it's not something Disney hasn't thought about.  Look at how much acrobatics there already was at the Tarzan Rocks show at AK.

That Tower of Terror looks like its going to drawf that tiny park.And who's bright idea was it to build the attraction so close to the entrance.Totally ruins the Front lot now,as the water tower and sound stages all fit into the 1920's Studio lot theme,but a hotel doesn't!

I think it's a rather good idea that they chose to put it so close to the entrance. It creates a better skyline & lets everybody know that you have to go to the Studios to go on it. I mean, look at DMGM's version. It is big, bold & upfront too & that doesn't detract from any of the surrounding theming.

When you're standing on Frontlot, there's no way you can see the Hollywood Tower Hotel!!!!!  

No, the trench that can be seen on the pictures isn't part of the queue!
The coaster that you can see is only part of the ride. There will also be a dark-ride part, which isn't built yet. It will be built on the left, over the concrete ground that you can see on Eric's picture. The tracks will take place on the trench you're talking about.

What you see on this picture isn't nothing else than the station of the ride. The queue line will be outside of the building, between the Aladdin's Flying Carpets ride and the building that will house the coaster part of the attraction.
