To clarify, this is how the UC team was acting as they came close to completing Diagon Alley. Probably Nassal now, as they finish up the Kong stonework.
JWhee: Good find. Well, that's a novel way to get rid of the Brazilian tour groups when they get too obnoxious and rowdy. (Heh, your video & comments disappeared)

Jade, while we appreciate your enthusiasm concerning the Orlando parks, you have to realize that the forums aren't constructed to be a personal Q&A session. Furthermore, while we have experts, some of the questions that you have presented have been in reference to obscure things that many of us do not have any clue about. We'll try to help in any way we can, just try to be a little more thoughtful of the questions you ask.
Bonjours tout le monde !! Let me quickly introduce myself, i'm Lucas, i'm from The vosges in france, i spend a lot of time to read your discutions about our beloved Universal orando, and i think if you permit, it's the time for me to join you.
My passion for universal have started when i had 13 (first of all for his movie studio, and with the time for his theme park activity ).
I just want to precised i would like to work in the theme park industry later as a designer ( in rockwork if it possible, i'm just fascinated about rockwork).
Like a most of you, i'm very enthusiast about this new venue, so to get into the thick of it, do you think universal will cover the entire show building with rocks or they just paint in black some portion of it (like on this picture) ?

Welcome Lucas. It's a tough call on that area. Perhaps they will paint faux rock flat onto the surface. Universal Creative is most concerned with having the attraction look good from within the attraction/queue itself. They seldom bother with things that can be seen from distant areas.
I am still unsure how they will finish off those mountain peaks further back.
This is great perspective. Until I see a flat photo of a wide shot, I rarely notice the buildings in the parks with the exception of Epcot. The place has such distant vistas, everything stands out like sore thumb. Soarin and the off property Waldorf or what ever brand it is, and that swan/dolphin mess.
Exactly.I can never understand the nitpicking of Universal buildings on Disney fan sites. You can see them all over the place at WDW. That said, minor views of showbuildings are something I don't really notice unless someone here points it out.

Is that confirmed? Also, we actually have to wear glasses?? That's ok I suppose, I'm ok wearing glasses in Spider Man. I just want to know what's tangible and what's not.
Right, I am too mesmerized by all of the top notch theming at eye level and never notice the distant stuff. The back side of FJ from JP is a nightmare now, but whatever. Without that building we wouldn't have Diagon or Kong or Transformers and maybe even Comcast.

A dragon in the world of Harry Potter makes sense, a castle on skull Island, an island inhabitted by native people, does not. There must be a better reason, maybe it wont look like that when it's finished.
Wait, are you talking about where the vehicles will be going into the showbuilding? Have you ever seen King Kong?
The while scene with bugs and bats, will that all be set pieces, something resembling the spider scene in Forbidden Journey? I am probably looking forward to this the most, as the spider thing in FJ is my favorite part of that ride, just feels so organic, absolutely love it.
