This is Eeylops project.

This is Eeylops project.

I thought that was building 64A because that's what the previous permit was for?

#5. Install new fall protection at 6 buildings in Diagon Alley.

I wonder exactly what this entails. Fall from what? Is it being installed at the request of OSHA or the county?

And shouldn't Wingardium Leviosa be good enough fall protection?

Hermione handled it pretty cleanly with Arresto Momentum.

But seriously though...what are they doing with Eeylops?

Possible, my handy-dandy spreadsheet I keep says Eeylops

Owl Room is the building/area to the left of Florean's. Used as a queue to Madame Malkin's. Hopefully they re-purpose to be queue for Florean's.

I hope it'll be an extension for Florean. A place where you can sit and enjoy your icecream. Now everyone moves to the stairs next to Gringots.

Room definitely isn't big enough for that. If it's anything to do with Florean's, it'll be a queue.

Again? I rather like the new discrete sign. It announces the ride but doesn't take away from the theming. The issue they should be addressing is the lockers randomly placed in front of the museum under those ugly canopies.

Apparently it's a modification to the existing sign. As to how much that entails, who knows.

Guardian Creative Integration doesn't seem to have a website. Hmmm. They are basically an electrical contractor. This tells me it is a wire and cable replacement only.

Here's their website:
Welcome to Guardian Manufacturing - Innovation in Control System Design and Integration

They're a pretty big control system design/integration firm, so I'd hope it's a bit more than some electrical work. Either way though, it's nice to see this kind of preventative maintenance/system upgrade work going on at their older attractions, rather than just letting them age not-so-gracefully.

You are so sharp CCC. Depending on the scope, it seems a wee bit dicey to be installing new boards for older software. Perhaps they will rewrite or sub the software too? Tall order and wildly expensive. Low millions at best.

Does this mean Simpsons might be closing for a refurb soon? Would that mean any upgrades/changes?

Is that a guy with a white suit on the Guardian Manufacturing web site? Back to the Future is coming back. The Time Machine is operable again. :violin: or :hail:

One question could be raised if the ride will just go down for maybe a small refurbishment on recalibrating the ride-profile, cleaning up the projectors and maybe something else? Wishful thinking in my part though.
