Appears they did quite a bit of prop work for Diagon. Not sure I have ever heard of them. I will have to ask why not.

You are sure that they didn't create a prop or two for the hangar bar? That sounds like a big statement.

Got lots of photos from my trip yesterday afternoon. More posted here.

P1040903-1024x768.jpg


P1040894-1024x768.jpg


Comparison of concept art to arch construction:

P1040840-1024x768.jpg


P1040831-1024x768.jpg


P1040834-1024x768.jpg



Not sure what's going on in these next few images, but it looks like they're re-plastering this wall, or re-weatherproofing it, for whatever reason.

That's all for now. Check out all of the images here.

That rebuilding doesn't look good! Eek.

I'm glad to see more colour and texture being added to the plain dark grey rock work now, looks great. Thanks for the pics Alicia.

What in hell are they doing to that lower wall, ripping stuff off or putting stuff on? Another Nassal/Victoria Embankment debacle? God bless'em.

Have you tried turning it off and on again?

Great work Alicia, you are an asset to the forum.

Hey @Teebin, in this picture:

That blue spray paint on the lower right of the photo, it marks the ride track correct? If so, that is extremely close to the guest path

And I wouldn't be opposed to that.

Could be a portion of outdoor queue that wraps around the outdoor track?

Yesterday that section was covered in tarp. It also looks like they're about to close up that side of the building that juts out from there.

Anyways, does anyone have clear shots of the opening from which the ride vehicles will exit?

I think this is it. It's behind the Kong rockwork so it's kind of hard to see. It's the only other hole in the façade that I can see (except for that triangular section of building to the left).

Just a few more.

I'm hoping this means that rockwork is coming soon on the entryway.



Here's a prefabbed piece or sample of... something. And the microwave.



The conduit is growing.



Pouring more concrete inside, and a glimpse at different levels of ride path.

Yes, I have double checked and it does appear so.

For those who might think it too narrow, there are two widths to the track they could have used, the wheelbase, or the track width... two different things. And I am not making that up as it is actually spelled out in drawings I have glimpsed.

Too, keep in mind that this wireless vehicle is going to have to pull up really, impossibly tight to load/unload. It boggles my mind that it could be so hyper accurate everytime.

I've been wondering if these RVS could be utilized on the USH tram tour. It might solve the sensor errors that have been problematic at Furious.
