Alright! Bring on the construction baby!

Call me Tenacious Teebin... FOUND IT! It is a Cofferdam system called PortaDam. WEEEEEEE!

So, the water will be held back by heavy plastic... not steel. Now we know what to expect before it happens. That pleases me.

 

[JungleSkip]

NICE! Thanks for that teebin.

 

[John321]

Interesting.

 

[Swiminn6]

Can't wait to see it! Anyone have pictures from today?!

 

[Hatetofly]

Nothing changed from yesterday's photos in the visible areas. :thumbs:

 

[King_K.]

From pictures I saw today, the cofferdams have the blue tarp set up and ready to be rolled down.

Thank goodness I have had time to read up on plastic and psi, otherwise I would have been all twisted and gimpy over the fact.

Has anyone thought what a london street scene will mean for the first HHN after opening (jack the ripper theme)[/QUOTE]


^That's a genuis idea. Could see a Diagon Alley/ London street with lots of fog to add to the effect. But as BJCool said J.K won't want anyone toying around with her idea. I don't even think she'd agree to having a small shark statue somewhere on the ride as a wee nod to Jaws (similar to the Golden Kong on the Mummy).

I don't have time to read through the rest of this thread someone may have already said it but I think they will build a Gringotts Bank and that will have a Mummy style ride inside it. It will be Universal's attempt at the new Seven Dwarfs ride at Magic Kingdom.

Should be good to see it but I'm still not sure if I'm happy about a WWOHP expansion:blank:

Comparing Gringotts to the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train is like comparing an F-22 to a remote control plane. Yea they both fly...but one is clearly superior to the other.

Superiority is a matter of opinion. A family bringing their young child to Disney would much prefer seven dwarfs over gringotts because their child would not be tall enough to ride it.

You know what I meant.

And considering we don't know what the height requirement is for either...we should probably hold off on that.

I know. As a coaster gringots is going to rock snow's socks off. On the other hand we can't really compare the two because they are shooting at two completely different demographics.

 

[Teebin]

The only thing that has come close to what I would like to see for gringotts is that bear ride in Hong Kong(?) that JS posted a few days ago. The one video'd at night. I loved how it went on and on and the animated scenes were extended. Kind of like Mummy, but longer and not as startling. Unlike Mummy, I think Gringotts should present the problems ahead instead of shocking us with speed. Also, two more scenes than the bear ride, at least.

Ehh..I think he means in regards to actual ride quality, not demographics. For example CARS at DCA is aimed at a younger demo., but it's a AAA attraction. Based on what we've been hearing (only 1 show scene, a short track) this will be much smaller in scale to what Univerasl is doing with this supposed bank coaster. Expect Universal to try an top their own Potter ride, which just opened.

It;s in the Hong Kong Disneyland thread.

 

[1.21Gigawatts]

found it ^ Thanks!

Disneyandmore posted a daytime video as well.

Oh yeah and I hope it's tf

 

[Teebin]

I hope that the drained area pictures come soon. I really want to see: what the base of the lagoon is made of, the foundation structure in the areas where the fake rock shoreline occurs, whether water intakes and outflows exist in that vicinity.
