Yeah! We need some ‘go away green’ over there.

This is one of the things I fear about this project and Universal seem to do it all the time. They build these fantastic lands and rides but then seem to overlook some basic things like this. The problem with these hyper detailed lands is that the smallest blunders get magnified.

I finally found the two workers that remained on site on the end platform... which appears so large that it could hold every magical creature JK ever conceived of!

You mean the little white support buildings? I think they are. They’ll have electrical/water support for effects and emergency services.

I agree... I watched them build them and they are concrete.

They're gonna need some really dense foliage to hide those things.

Seems like there are no footings for those buildings.

I think they added dirt and buried the bases. I swear they used to look taller.

It would be crazy to start planting trees around it if they planned on removing it.

Thanks for reminding me... they are deep below ground level and I now recall telling someone who was wondering on here what the black was at the base of the building. It was basement sealant more commonly seen north of Florida.

They might change the color yet. Perhaps that's just a protective primer.

Wouldn’t it be easier to paint without trees in the way? Unless Disney own a patent on painting buildings green, I don’t see why they would leave it white.

Why finish painting before all construction work is done? It's bound to get messed up before opening.

This is back from page 293. The roof definitely looks like a temporary cover and I'd think the walls are the same. The buildings are permanent

OK, I surrender. They are hideous in current form and I can only hope the camo gets applied soon

That roof is actually permanent it just hasn’t had the flashing covers put on yet. The covers go over the top of the walls (both sides and top) and essentially seal that roofing material and the top of the wall.

The building is permanent as well as you can see they put the waterproofing material on the sub grade parts like @Teebin pointed out. Give it time but I think we won’t see it when all is said and done.
