Can't comment about the last sentence but yes an active construction site requires PPE (personal protective equipment) like hardhats, safety glasses, steel toed shoes, etc during normal working times.

Thanks for this. I am notorious for forgetting/not-knowing the fundamentals. Too, you pushed me to clarify/verify and I found out something I did not know. They are awaiting their certification of occupancy, which they have applied for a few times already. It's unclear if they have received this even yet. Once they receive that, can they loose the gear.

A few times already? Are they being declined? If so why? Just curious why they would need to apply more than once. I'm not expecting anything one to know. But any ideas?

It happens almost every time, usually for minor details like bundling wires with the correct material, emergency door clearance etc.

Awesome Teebs. So taking a stab at this, I imagine once occupancy is achieved they'll finalizing show programing, train the opening day TMs, stress test the ride system, finalize show installation, and then technical rehearsal?

Between this, Hulk, Mako and Cobra's curse all nearing completion, it's a very exciting time in Orlando over the new few months.

I don't know anything about operations, but now they can at least creep around the queue and load area without the gear. They have been running tests with everything for some time. Only thing I don't know about is the Kong AA. It's been covered in plastic ever since it was installed. No one that I know has seen it moving. Just covered and quiet. :(

Probably nothing to worry about at this early stage, We need to start being concerned if Uni hires John Travolta to give Disco Dancing lessons to Kong. Then, we'll know that there's trouble in River City. ;)

They must be doing it after hours with an immediate team of VIPs I guess.

Do you know if the AA is full body, or the chest and up?

I'd like to see a full body AA but given the bad history of full body ones, I'm perfectly happy with that.
