So, I guess all of our photographers have forsaken UOR today? It's just a Saturday at the tail end of spring break. I am sure it is most pleasant at the parks today. How busy could it be? :look:
It is raining today, just like yesterday.
Spring Break is long gone and the parks should not be busy at all.

I just figured everyone could wear a Kentucky Derby wide brimmed fancy hat to shield them from the rain...
For example, I believe HTF or Hockey might look quite stunning in this:
Is this the calm before the storm on Diagon Alley? It's eerily quiet the past week on these forums....I'm going back outside to cut grass, even though there's a slight drizzle, since the sun doesn't seem to shine in the northeast this year.

For me, it's just that all the purdy stuff is being installed now. I am ravenous for the purdy stuff.
I have tried to get some details of what and why lately... but it is nearly impossible now, because there are a ton of right-hands that don't have a clue what their lefts are doing. Many are told what to do and never told why they are doing it or what it means. It's wacky.
UOR just played an extended commercial on NBC during the lead up to the derby. It features brief interviews with AG, MW, the lead goblin actor and finally...... the ever present twins. If it has been shown before, then I apologize.
This one or a different one?

I've only seen the short ads on TV. Cool to hear they're putting out longer ads! Hopefully I'll catch it on TV for myself!
Completely different. Very few movie clips and a ton of the less seen concept art that we know about.
Which is so very sad. Obviously TDO doesn't think they need those kinds of investments. I hope they're proved wrong very soon.

Thanks for the pics, TLA! I see some fences!
BTW, @AmusementBuzz also posted a pic where you can get a closer look the progress at the Leicester Square Station facade:
Did you mean 419? Is that what they have for lawn in Central Park across the lagoon? It is an odd grass to see in Florida except on finer homes and golf courses. Fine like northern grasses.
ON another note... is Leicester supposed to be completed? Where is the high-gloss tile finish? It's vexing me.

I wonder how the grass is going to hold up when it opens, I imagine it will see a lot of traffic even with the fence around the outside from people wanting to just hang out...
I don't think it's finished. And I don't think this rainy weather we've been having as of late is helping things much :down:
