When I went through diagon I thought to myself how is universal, let alone anyone, gonna top this level of theming? I'm looking at the pictures of this incomplete facade and I'm speechless, they're topping it as we speak. This is seriously not only the best facade of the resort but theme parks in general. God only knows how amazing it's gonna look inside

awesome pictures the scale of this thing is incredible

They are really raising the bar for theming atm

I am just as excited looking at construction pictures of this as I was with Diagon Alley, and that's saying something!

It's truly thrilling to have new construction again. I've only gotten to visit and see everything that's happened since Potter phase 1 this year, and I've got to say I'm so happy to see steel and scaffolding and cranes again. When I walk into Diagon, I'm blown away not only by the detail but also by the fact that I watched it grow from a dirt patch, to a hell of a lot of scaffolding, and finally to the amazing, beautifully exquisite Diagon Alley that's here today.
I am so thrilled to go through the process again with Kong :happy:

some of the best pictures yet....interesting to me that they started on the outside façade work so early, usually that's towards the end

This photo kills me. It is so well framed by greenery that the entire project appears complete. An illusion, but a dreamy one!

Was at IOA over the weekend and I was shocked at how quick this thing is going up. None of us really have an idea on how much has been done on the inside, but this should be done by next summer easily.

Don't underestimate the length of time to do all the interior work for this behemoth but more importantly don't expect to see Universal let Gringotts ever happen again. While it may appear ready early via the exterior I'm sure Uni has added a oh **** didn't see that coming window to avoid costly delays for the Summer Season.

Figured Universal wasn't happy with Gringotts debut...good news Kong will hopefully have less downtime upon opening..

Indeed they have. As I understand it, by the end of November, we will be looking at the site and saying, "Where did everyone go?".

Glad they're learning from past mistakes, they really are gonna reinvent the way parks are run soon enough
