I'm a bit confused about exactly where this is being built in the park. I thought originaly it was going to be to the left of the main entrance next to Hollywood, but all this construction is going on right next to the Wizarding World?

To be percisely, SNW in Osaka will be built next to Hogsmeade, but with a path to the land from the Waterworld area. It's essentially being built on a large portion of their parking lot, bordering the parking structure.

Thanks!
Seems an odd place to put it to me, restricts and expansion of Wizarding world there surely?

I would argue Nintendo is a far more relevant and popular IP for use than Potter for Osaka. Not to mention, it will be a huge draw for Osaka during the Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympics.

Wow, they aren't wasting any time now. That's a lot done in the last two months.

That was the first thing I thought too

I think it is too early to tell, to be perfectly honest.

It's reminding me when Hollywood and Osaka went fast on vertical work for their Hogsmedaes. Very excited to see what unfolds over the next few months, as I hope @Haru and @Yukendoit can help cover it as best as they can.

I know it's not much but:freak: I wonder what the devil is all that below ground level work??? So many questions already.

YESSSSSSSSS

Probably a dumb question, but could that below ground structure be some sort of maze? Or is it just building foundations?

This was my first question upon looking it's really fascinating to me.. those piles of dirt really throw me off, they look repetitive so possible..Idk:shrug:

I’m going with foundations because of the dirt left in between some of the forms. Very curious style and method of construction and how it differs from the US but I’m sure they have to engineer/build it for earthquakes and tsunamis.
