So not exactly part of Warner Bros but these two person magnetic pods will one day transport visitors quickly between parks and the airport.

Miral said that the system would be used to connect “current and future destinations" on Yas Island, and would eventually link to Abu Dhabi International Airport.

Mohamed Abdulla Al Zaabi, chief executive of Miral, said: “While we continue to build world-class destinations and *expand Yas Island, it is imperative that we are able to implement an urban transportation solution, which is not only *energy efficient but also adds another level of excitement to our visitors’ experiences".

Google Earth was updated again in March and there are now two structures visible.





Sadly, the images are not as sharp as previous ones but you can see buildings starting to take shape and pathways emerging across the site.

The article also states a $1 billion price tag for the Warner park, not sure if this is correct.

There was definitely more construction going on at the end of January when Google's camera went over than last December. Lots more buildings around the park and colour on the ground from foundations going in.



You can see the shadows as construction starts to move vertically too.
