They look disgusting :ack:

some shots I took yesterday (never really sure what folks want to see, so I just snapped a few things...all seen by my eyes while in the public portion of the park...not that I have ever been back stage):

Nice shots, Frank! Thanks for sharing them with us. Balls to the wall.....

Duff Gardens Is looking really good! Do we know if there will be anything else added to Moe's? I really wanted to see a Moe statue behind the bar and of course Barney to return.

 

[Bryan]

:doh: Thanks haha blind

Wow, the finished bricks look fantastic.

Those aren't new, but they don't always use pink frosting. Sometimes its white, sometimes its chocolate frosting, but I've seen pink frosting more than a few times before, and at the donuts stands at Epcot as well.

Yeah, I was going to say I saw those when we went Memorial Day Weekend.

How in the world will Kang and Kodos be finished by the 20th? At this point, the ride looks no different than it did a few days ago.
Even with Universal's construction crew being extremely fast and whatnot, Duff Gardens, Lards Lad, and Kang and Kodos don't look anywhere near opening.
Also, Universal would have announced by now if Springfield's opening ceremony was the 20th, right? The press has known about Transformers's opening for a week or so.

^They're magic:sneaky:

 

[LHZY]

a week or so???? More like a month.

The difference between Springfield and TF is that Springfield is simply an enhancement whereas TF is a completely new experience. Sure K&K is new but it certainly isnt worth a separate press opening or anything substantial. I think Uni is smart (albeit a lil crazy) to open SF the same day as TF. Not only do they have the press for Transformers but they get Springfield coverage as well. 2 aliens with one stone

Those fake bricks are coming along nicely, albeit so is this whole area I can't wait to see for myself!

 

[Frank Drackman]

I think it is great how they bring the brick look to life. He is a shot I took on Thursday compared to one I took on Friday:

Ya I'm starting lose hope of an opening on Thursday.

 

[canobie#1]

Same here.

I don't know how fast you all think construction can go, but this is one of those "pushing it" projects. Just because it won't open this week, doesn't mean it won't open soon. There was never a promise, just rumors. Early July is probably everyone's best bet.
