Wizarding World - Diagon Alley Discussion (Opens 2014)

I dunno. I'd say 95% of the people going through the park would have absolutely no clue what it was even if the lions and lamps were there.

If it wasn't for this thread I would have no clue as to what they were suposed to represent if they are installed.

Yea, exactly. I'm the same way. I had never heard of the embankment before this. And I've been IN London.

With the percentage of Brits that visit Florida and the parks, I don't believe it would be too long before people overhear them saying, "Oh look, they are building the Victoria Embankment!".

Based on Teebin's sudden use of an avatar (after years of not having one), I'd say the lamps, etc are coming soon.

I may know within a few minutes or hours but I could not say that yet!

I wonder what company was commissioned to make the lamps? Does Nassal do that kind of work??

Maybe to be more authentic they are using a British company....

We have discussed this. It could be a company in Alabama, it could be Nassal, it could be subcontracted by Nassal to a company in Tampa that subbed the work from Great Britain. It is a question of whether they will be made of iron (unlikely) aluminum (likely) or some other material. Whoever got the contract, you can bet your bippy the terms and requirements are harsh and unyielding.

The "Ticketing Building" rears its ugly head yet again, in the Hogsmeade Station permit

1) Include a location map within the parcel. 2) Retaining walls and Ticketing building need separate building permits. 3) Include 100 year floodplain line if encroaches this specific project limits.

Thanks Orlando Rocks for more awesome pics! :rep:

Also, OTPN has posted some photos with what look like the beginnings of curbs/pavement prep.

 

[EPCOTcenter]

Wow, BJCool, I didn't post these yet on our site and you already found them! Nothing can be hidden from you.

 

[BJCool]

^I have eyes everywhere........

 

[Teebin]

yessuh, you can see the finished pavement in the foreground.

 

[Millionaire2K]

yessuh, you can see the finished pavement in the foreground.

And the un-finished pavement in the background. :bolt:

 

[ReelJustice]

Aerials would be so much fun.

A reminder of what we're looking at

 

[Teebin]

Well, that photo is looking towards the corner of the bathrooms I believe... so I am not sure if that is an old foundation just worked around.

And BTW. Dead end street on the timing of the lions and lamps. I couldn't pull a hair of info on that.

RT @matpez The frozen treats building outside of Hogsmeade was definitely there two days ago and definitely isn't there now.

 

[BJCool]

From @matpez

No more frozen treats
