Yep, the park - including the parking lot - is somewhere around 145 acres. Only 70 acres of that is guest accessible.And when you see it from below, still tiny.
The most obvious change from the last aerial is what looks like a backstage building that popped up on the left side of the picture.For comparison, here is current state of our SWL:

Moving slowly but surely.
Mostly slowly.
Things may pickup when Pandora finishes construction.
The post was posted today, not sure when the aerials were taken, but the video says April 4th.Not that it matters as i'm sure nothing substantial has happened over the last few days. but I estimate these aerials to be almost a full week out of date. The reason I say that is because of the looks of the steel structure in the aerial. On April 1, bioreconstruct posted a picture of the steel getting studs in preparation for a wall to go up.

If you click on the photo Alicia posted and zoom in to that area of the photo, it does not look like the studs have been put on the steel yet, which I would think would be at least slightly noticeable.
Well then, there you have it.The post was posted today, not sure when the aerials were taken, but the video says April 4th.
If you are talking about the building in the last two pics, the building is nowhere near the new cast entrance building.That building should be the new cast entry and costuming.
That building is the one seen on left-hand side of this aerial.If you are talking about the building in the last two pics, the building is nowhere near the newscast entrance building.
That building is in the area of Lights, Motors, Action! and will be a backstage building.
They're repaniting the facades. Pale greens for Grand Lofts, brown and greys for Spring Flower Market (with purple awning for Spring Flower Market, green and red for Garcia Sisters) and brickwork and cream for Angeling Alterations. The storage sheds and trash compactor behind will remain in the backstage space. And they're adding a curved awning on the south west corner.
Walls should start to come down in July all being well with a completion end of September.
Similarly, Muppetvision will be held in the Grand Theatre. Expect the brickwork to be more prominent with vertical banners either side of the re designed entrance marquee and canopy.
So I am curious if the back of the wall they're building on the left-side will be themed at all, or just a wall. The berm on the right will need to look good on both sides, as it will be seen from SWL and TSL... But the wall on the left will be facing the new backstage area created by the closing off of Pixar Place's dead end street. So, if it'll only be facing employees I wonder what it'll look like.1 of 2: Behind fence at end of Pixar Place. First is right. Second is left, for the Berm fans out there;

A sorry state, us theme park philosophers.So I am curious if the back of the wall they're building on the left-side will be themed at all, or just a wall. The berm on the right will need to look good on both sides, as it will be seen from SWL and TSL... But the wall on the left will be facing the new backstage area created by the closing off of Pixar Place's dead end street. So, if it'll only be facing employees I wonder what it'll look like.
On the other side of that wall will be green hills with shops/meet and greets/photo ops etc for SWL, but on this side, where the pics are taken will be backstage.
Of course on the very very left side of this wall will be the tunnel entrance to SWL, near Muppets. I'm talking about the middle of the wall, before the dirt berm starts, facing Pixar Place.
Wow, I am literally nerding out about a dirt berm. What has my life become?
Hoping for a real nice hub-like courtyard here. Note the Writer's Stop windows looking good on far right of pic. That place is soooo opening back up when this courtyard is paved and ready.2 of 2: Behind fence by Sci-for Dine-in;

I liked the idea. I kind of envisioned something like what they did at the Borg Encounter attraction in Las Vegas.Glad it's just a bad rumor. That sounded like a stupid concept anyway.![]()
