I assume everyone noticed the arches going up around the carousel?
Edit: NVM, saw it posted a couple pages back. My excuse is that general anesthesia is fun.
They look like these. Covered pathways for the stores flanking the archway.I wanna know what the octagonal small buildings are next to each entrance are for...

No not those, the smaller ones next to the portals. See this.

So far I have only seen them next to Monsters and Potter. They seem to be set back behind the portal, and both along the lands' separate exit path. I do wonder if they're some kind of security booths to ensure no one is entering the exits?
They’re both themed to stars. Carousel themed to constellations and the coaster themed to shooting stars (and rockets). And yea, i believe they will share similar architectural styles.Since they're both part of the hub is it likely the interior station of the coaster will share some thematic elements with the carousel? They are part of the hub. I might be reading too much in the arches used between both. I also just realized the coaster station points directly to the carousel so if there is some connection implied there it would be neat.
I'm wondering if we're likely to see coaster testing before the end of the year? There's still a lot to do even when the track is done but it wouldn't be too crazy to expect pull-throughs sometime by the end of summer at least? Or would that still be way too early?
Overall I think the whole hub area will be a more modern take on steam punk/Jules Vern aesthetic, but a little more polished and “shiny/silver/blue” than the “dull/brown/copper” version they did for Toothsome.
I just realized this. From certain hotel rooms in the Grand Helios you will be able to see back of house areas in Wizarding and Monsters (maybe other lands as well depending on height of hotel). That will seem strange. I understand that most coasters offer the same view behind the scenes but that is only for a few seconds and you are going 60mph.
Half the rooms are going to have a lovely view of Lockheed Martin. *shrug*I mean, it's no secret you are at a theme park so I don't think that will deter anyone from staying. You can see the back of the house from royal pacific as well, nothing strange at all.
