No shots of Transformers, the waterfront, or the backstage road.

Some nice shots of Gringotts...but this was basically worthless.

What is the name of the guy that did that report and is he relatively new to central florida?

He's the same guy who did the Transformers story when that fake artwork saying "December 2013" came up.

Thanks! :rep:

Screencaps:

And if you look closely in the last few pics, you can see that they have finished a complete concrete path.

Thanks for the screencaps! What could be the crescent shaped structure in the 4th picture? Also, will the current guest pathway be removed?

 

[kgri2]

One good thing about the screencaps is we now know the size of the Gringotts building. You can plainly see the outline of the building.

I believe the sunken structure will be a low part of the gringotts coaster or an effect moat that it looks down upon. I would assume the temporary path will be removed as there is grading that needs to happen in that area.

Looks good so far and it should only get better. :thumbs: I'll be hapoy once they reopen the walkway along the shoreline and get rid of the tunnel. It's so annoying having to dodge people trying to take pics of,the posters.

 

[Swiminn6]

Expanding on what Teebin said, I bet that the concrete path we can see against the waterfront will become the new pass way and they will shut off the current one until it's all open!! Makes perfect sense.

Thanks for posting it! :rep: Those were quick glimpses, but VERY COOL to finally see something!

You think the Gringotts ride will extend all the way to that moat thingy? :stunned: Then it'll be HUMONGOUS!!

Yep, you can clearly make out the outline of the building.

The size of that building/area is just impressive. This is going to be a massive ride....it looks like it will trump FJ for sure.

All signs point to yes.

[floridakid]

Not sure if it's been brought up/discussed/suggested, but does anyone see that metal structure in the first picture being the start of a frame for Big Ben?

No, that's for a tower crane. If Big Ben is involved in anyway, expect a forced perspective ornament on top of Gringotts.

Yeah, I can't tell if that rock is new or if it has been there all along.

You can see that they are extending the ride building.
