I think it will be very good, but not sure if some on here will approve, because it looks like it will have some of the same features that people have complained about EO. Guessing no utilitrees though.

I see ACTUAL LIVE PLANTS!, so it's already better than EO!

Where? Unless you're talking about outside the exhibit, I'm not seeing any.

And I don't mean to start another EO debate, nor am I saying you and others won't like this better, just saying there looks like there will likely be some of the same issues.

How so, this exhibit has 2 years worth of construction left? EO only took 2 years to construct form start to finish. Since it's not really any where near done you can't compare it to EO. I am sure by Summer 2011 it will looks much better than it does in this picture.

Well for one the big elephant house will be visible from various view points, which is apparently a big issue for some here.
 
I'm interested to see which elephants might be transported into this wonderful exhibit.
 
I think they will most likely start off with there current elephant (Although Ambika is 60 so who knows if she will live another 2 years) # of three (With Kandula being the adult bull) elphants and slowly work there way up
 
She's older than 60. I am surprised she is still living. Can someone tell me what is this exhibit going to be other than an extra yard, a barn addition, and a walking trail? Yards 1 and 2 are on the same exact footprint as the old yard, so how is this going to be a big improvement. How is it going it going to be 3.5 acres when the old exhibit was less than an acre. If you look at the plans it doesn't look like much more than the old exhibit.
