Overnight asphalt pour :look:

Ahh, but don't they need it to dry for a couple of hours in the day? I would imagine they do bits and pieces. Thanks!

Sorry I was being a little sarcastic since that's how they do roads.

You seem to forget that an entire large restaraunt had to be cleaned inside and out, restructured, and rethemed, the waterfront has to be removed and rebuilt, a new ride is going in which land has to be excavated, cleaned, dug out, and leveled, then the entire area is being re-painted plus gags plus a re-working of the entrance to both sides of the land.

The argument that TF and Simpsons are the same is invalid. This is more than just simple assembly parts and overnight work.

Like I said I have full faith but we'll have to see.

Who's making the argument they are the same?

What I was saying was you were making it seem as if transformers was something simple like a Vekoma SLC coaster. it was a far more complex installation, even if it was just a copy cat ride.

You say the entire area as if this is a 5 acre project. From what I have read, nothing is happening is happening to the water front other than adding duff gardens. Like I said, the hard part is over. If it weren't so, why would the building theme elements be going up? why would they do that if they still had heavy construction to be done in the building? HTF has already mention the foundation for the flat is finish. What more to do than add it?

Again, who is making the argument they are the same. I said "as far as springfield" I didnt say "just like transformers/springfield"...

How are they going to do the pavement without closing the land? Isn't it supposed to look like the streets of Springfield?

I got a look behind the walls this morning, they were laying down concrete, but the interesting thing was how they were doing it just in front of the buildings and "islands" being paved also. My guess would be they are setting up for a street like pathway just for the springfield area and possibly an overnight job to repave (if they are) in front of the mart too.

Its hard to tell by the pictures but doesn't it look a little tight on the waterfront area they are working on now to fit Duff Gardens and a ride?

There's quite a bit of space in what's already behind walls, and if I'm not mistaken, HTF mentioned that there will be more going behind walls, once they can move the current ones back and re-route the walkway. Reel posted this on the WWoHP Phase II thread, but it includes a good aerial look at Springfield :thumbs:

Scroll back a few pages and see that HTF said waterfront work is going to take 3-4 months. You miss my point but thats ok we can leave it at "we'll see"

I figured as much, a lot of creative was in the games area yesterday, there have been problems with the set up for a while so some could be seeing some downtime soon such as Whack a Rat getting pushed in further to its booth, new roofs, and the final game Sledgehomer added in by the second week of March as far what i've heard...

Thanks for sharing :thumbs:

Interesting to hear that the walkway will be an actual 'street'. Should be interesting to see how everything comes together. Do we know anything about this supposed spinner other than it will be Simpsons theme?

 

[Andy]

Kodos and Kang themed spinner, each of the 12 arms will be miniature space ships. Well that's my guess at least. :look:

Hmm... Well that's kind of neat. Thanks hatetofly - can't wait to actually see some of the theming!

Assuming the big excavated square area (that I put an arrow pointing to) is the base of the spinner, how far into the rest of Springfield/Krustyland will the arms extend and where will the barrier of the attraction be?

And I wonder about the other square hole, just down and to the right of it...

HTF, if you know, can you clarify: will there be two separate "structures," a Kodos and a Kang, or single "structure" to this ride?

 

[Vyrus]

According to Hate it'll be the spinner with the queue next to it, and then next to that will be the Duff Gardens area for viewing Cinespec

That hole is utilities I assume. And by assume....

So--- that's where the entrance to the queue for the spinner will be or
