I got a notification from Google Photos today showing me pictures from a year ago today and I found this

If I hadn’t known, I would’ve had no idea that they had two massive inverts sitting right there. Amazing to see how much the area has changed in this time.

The rain adds to the effect

I know that some don't want this ride to have anything to do with dragons but I'm thinking that a dragon might figure more prominently into this ride for a number of reasons:

1. This would be nice continuity from Forbidden Journey...."Haven't seen a dragon, have ye?" - Hagrid

2. Dragons are very popular with the general public....it makes sense to feature a creature that has wide appeal.

3. This ride replaces a ride that featured dragons.

This is true...the connection with Hagrid and the dragon would be fun

It only got worse as the day went on

What was it that they stopped doing or selling at the Hogsmeade Station ticket building? I only recall that something was discontinued there.

In ten years I hope you all remember that there's a little smile hiding under all those roofing shingles. #SmileShack

I have to stop and ask why they are spray painting ABCDEF on the roof boards? I mean, what kinds of morons are coming to do the next bit of work?

Apparently a group of people that never played with this as a kid:

Finally, a shack I can get behind!

Don't be 'Shrieking' in there. Big brother is watching.

Not sure what the left carpenter is doing but that roof isn't water tight yet.

So, when we are going backwards and around the curve, we will be staring right at the drop-track building. What are they going to do to that giant flat wall? At the curves closest, there is hardly any space to plant anything but a begonia or two.

A few trees and a mural? Or the tried and tested rock work.

I think it will be rock work.

I take it that any track wrapped in white plastic will have heavy amounts of theming, so I wouldn’t worry about the show building coming into view at that point in the ride.

I’m thinking most of the backwards section will be inside.

Perhaps it will just be a billboard trumpeting their value meals and express pass. Can you imagine...

My guess will be a mixture of tree's and rockwork; as the rockwork covers the visible portion of showbuilding facing Hogsmeade.

After my visit to a regional park this week, I can imagine, and it’s frightning. My oh my are we spoiled here in Orlando lol...
