I have stated that while there is a burlap scenario, I don't think this process is burlap but something more substantial. Note that where ever it overhangs upside down they have it reenforced with heavier dense weave steel mesh as the fabric would probably sag the wrong way.

Now it's time to see if there's any cryptic meaning behind Teebin's number.

Hmm, the 354th day of the year is December 20th. Kong confirmed to open December 20th, 2015.

Yes, it is being replaced... on a grand scale. They take everything into account so it seems.

So what will become of the current building? Does it become a guest area or is it simply demolished or what?

It appears to be a triple wide office trailer. Easy to move and set back up. Probably has been repurposed somewhere else on site.

Not sure, but I think you are missing the point of my original post.

My reply was more to Frogki's question about the future of the building itself.

I understand, or at least think I do, what the purpose of your inquiry was. The building may be gone, but what it was used for in the past has to be accounted for somewhere.

Exactly, and that somewhere is inside of this new building we have been looking at.

I'm pretty sure I saw a new trailer behind Doctor Doom when I rode it recently that wasn't there before. Could this be where they moved it?

They probably sold them to a scrap dump... those buildings are kind of skanky to be honest... and yeah, I have been in one of them. I get around like a dirty shirt. :smiley:

We're glad you do!

There is some new(ish) metal work closer to the construction fence...is that yet to be hanged?

A whole lot of something should come closer to the fence... they're just not there yet. I have been wondering when too.
