The track roar it so they can test and run all night. The neighbors in the houses have been complaining for years. There is one house the calls in all the time.

The other option is to leave them up. The wings aren't going anywhere in a storm. Do billboards get taken down in a hurricane? - - - Updated - - - The overlay is cool Matpez!!!

^I agree. I hope it can't be seen from the waterfront.

Great point :thumbs: So true! - - - Updated - - - Working in visual arts and Art Directing are two different things. Your aesthetic of choice is clearly not a consistent setting to be rendered off of. The lion heads look completely washed out in your preferred picture. I don't think the...

This picture is taken in high sun and the exposure is white washed. The tree line is a tell tale sign of inaccurate contrast. The actual wall doesn't exist like this so it would never be art directed as so. Additionally, the UO picture is taken in the shade. Look at the top of the wall. The...

I think this is an overstatement. AA's are physical pieces; the other animation in the ride isn't so. There were plans that leaked out that showed the tight quarters in the ride. Videos and 3D images shouldn't be considered AAs. Now, there are more possibilities of greatness out in the land...

Thank you for the credit. Now, have you checked out Advanced Animation of Buckbeak fame? The cherub on top of the fountain everyone has been discussing was also Court's work.

Upon entering Hogsmeade on opening day I couldn't count how many men proposed to their ladies. I wonder if the same will happen at Diagon. I staked out at the train all day just to people watch. Pretty amazing...needless to say, I wonder if potential proposals are hold until it is announced.

Furthermore, the company building it was not the engineer. That was contracted out. Most certainly a small prop shop could not head up that portion either. Get more info on the UC prop shop and the talent they employ and you'll see your source is incorrect on this issue. No bother to me if...

You've been misinformed. Movie sculptor Bryn Court and his team sculpted the dragon. He's been at several functions around Orlando. I highly doubt it looks crappy considering he's one of the most talented sculptors in the movie industry and I'm sure was hand picked by Stuart Craig himself...

Agreed! It is going to be crazy. The pictures will be awesome.

Be looking for some of these items in Diagon Alley. During demo, UC prop people were seen claiming items all over the attraction.

:drool: Now this is the kind of food CityWalk needed. Game on. I'll take one of each please.

I'm sorry if you thought I was being a jerk. I wasn't meaning to be. It can't move. Not with today's technology and Universal's safety standards. They wouldn't risk it. The dragon will virtually be a statue with fire breathing out of it. Just doing that is a huge and incredible engineering...

You're assuming the Dragon is animated. It's probably all static unless Universal has just created the 8th wonder of the world. lol. :cheers: There is a test structure on the roof now so most of the site fire testing could be done. You can see the gas farm on the roof. All they need to do is...

It was created by Advanced Animation in Vermont.

The Dragon is the show stopper in the land. Don't be too stressed about it. I think Uni is waiting until the last second to install it because of how grand it is. Beyond the technology and engineering required to pull it off, it's going to be the main focus of the entire land. It looks HUGE!!!!

Looks like the vehicle has stadium seating. I think everyone is going to have a great view of the action.

The photo connect is great. We've done each one multiple times. We sometimes drag in strangers. It's been worth every penny since I am an annual passholder.

WonderSea, Ugh. Boring. USF is movies. IOA is books. What would this park be based on; your imagination? Other thank Potter, Universal leans towards anything tropical. I'd imagine the water park will be no different.
