Dang Teebs you weren't kidding, when it rains, it pours, and info right now is pouring like a monsoon.

Does moving the dome picture over here mean you're more confident in it being WWoHP stuff or is it just a likelihood? Either way, I'm kind of jumping off the walls over these photos; imagine when we start getting distinguishable facade stuff.

I was waiting for this.

Don't know, but I suspect it might be the cupola from Gringott's Bank. But it could be for anywhere.

And Violarum, Get Well Soon!

ReelJustice, I believe that is different dome that is over the center part of the building. I think the one here is directly above these columns:

Like this:

 

[Teebin]

It is center of the building. Scroll to 03:00

I suppose they could be making the front (DH's pics) dome but it doesn't make sense why they are doing it so soon.

 

[ReelJustice]

I never caught that there were 2 different domes. Oy! Guess I was always just stunned by how perfect they got the dragon and the entire scene really.

I am losing my mind here. If losing Amity didn't do it for me... then all of this is making Phase 2 real for me.

 

[rhino4evr]

it has to be the dome, there is even a place for the flag pole. Not sure if they will even build the glass dome, as it's behind the facade, and you woudln't see it from where you stand in the park. It's possible that it will be in the ride though.

Would be pretty funny if they did build the vaulted glass dome, considering another project going on at a rival park that decided not too...

Those pics have me seriously excited, Disney head. http://img818.imageshack.us/img818/7559/hogwartsstation.jpg Here is a concept painting for the 'forest' train station in the movies.

Thanks for the pics DH, it's so exciting that real stuff is starting to happen :happy: This is going to be fantastic!

Page 250 marks the beginning of "that feeling" again. You know what I mean if you went through the original WWoHP, when stuff is getting real.

 

[rhino4evr]

what's strange is why this construction company has see-through fences, considering Universal is so concerned with leaks you would think they would have a concrete wall surrounding the compound with Barbed wire on the top...

 

[DragonSlayer]

Yeah, or at least an opaque scrim attached to the fence or something. Although having said that, in an exploration that went a bit wrong last time we were in Orlando we drove past Nassal, and the part we passed had a wooden fence. So maybe different areas have different perimeter fences or something. Also I feel sure at some point during WWHP 1 someone said Nassal had two sites? Maybe my imagination.

 

[Teebin]

Nassal had two sites? Maybe my imagination.

Nassal briefly opened an office in Dubai back 2006/2007 but that didn't last long.

 

[DragonSlayer]

Ah, irrelevant then. Follow up though - just checked on Street View, and the southwestern corner of the site does indeed have a solid wall. Any hints as to which part of the site this is, DH?...

Yesss. I was talking on my tumblr earlier about how it feels like 2009 again. It's kind of uncanny sometimes.

Very, very excited for what the next three year will bring and very, very grateful we get to do this all over again.
