Here we gooooo!
If you look closely, the utility building is now green!
ya ya ya...We told you it was white primer.Well, per my instruction, they finally painted that building dark green!
^oops... all eyes were on that building apparently....

That was my first thought when I saw that too.View attachment 8392
Looks like they've been doing some clearance testing (unless I'm mistaken and that isn't actually a clearance envelope, but it definitely looks like one)
A lot of the rockwork I'm aware of will be going where the construction pathways are now, through the center and back of the area... And over that darn spike!I am getting slightly concerned there won’t be as much rockwork as initially thought. Really hope they theme the supports to the coaster too.
Rockwork takes a long time...it wouldn't be "last". No offense to you at all, but I think there have been some changes since your last conversation with your source. At least that's what my logic is telling me.That was my first thought when I saw that too.

There's a loooonng row of port-a-potties where a lot of the rockwork will be, so it's clearly being saved for last.
It's a bit unclear if that's rockwork or not. If it is, that seems like a poor place to put it. I doubt anybody would see it, assuming it is rockwork.This is a curious rock formation.
I meant last as in after the Abbey and buildings were far enough along that they don’t need heavy machinery on those paths anymore. Preformed rockwork can’t be installed and finished within 6 months?Rockwork takes a long time...it wouldn't be "last".

Depends on how much. It doesn't make much sense to me why they would wait so long to do arguably the most time intensive work. It certainly hasn't been the case for other projects.Preformed rockwork can’t be installed and finished within 6 months?
It's fairly tall, but in terms of footprint the abbey building is pretty deceiving. It's only about the size of a larger McMansion, about 3600 sq ft. For comparison, 1 of the 2 ride pads on Alien Swirling Saucers (I'm not gonna use the acronym for that one) is about 5,200 sq ft.Heck, the "Abbey" building is the size of a small dark ride itself. This all looks more impressive the further along we go.
Volcano Bay didn't had it's rock work 6 month before opening and it had a ton, this ride only gets a fraction of that. This is not Disney, Universal doesn't need a year to put some great looking rock work in place.Depends on how much.

Keep in mind, the final two months will be very minor work and mostly a lot of testing.
