New Notice of Commencement for Coastal Steel for steel installation.

Coastal has worked on a ton of great Disney projects (and unfortunately the wand and the hat )

They're closing the vault! :'(

Apologies for my ignorance, but is this going to be open by mid-2013? or is that only for the Simpsons expansion? What;s the expected ETA?

I've not been to Florida since 2008 and I'm back Late September 2013 and I'm loving all this new stuff universal is bringing to the table Disney has hardly changed since I was there last (apart for that small expansion in MK which won't even be finished when I go)

Are those the same prefabbed concrete wall thingys like the ones they tore off SS44? They look similar.

In the picture below it appears to be a foam core panel skinned with metal. These panel are sturdy but not very dent resistant.

When you go Transformers and Springfield will be open.

Thanks Bob. I was actually wondering if that was foam core (in the new pics) and if you had commented to let me know. :wave:

I would guess that they are shooting for Memorial Day weekend 2014.

A shot From the third floor of the Simpsons ride would be awesome right now as things are starting to go vertical. Or da choppa... Does anyone else get the same wierd look as me when I show the amazing pictures of the first sections of track going into gringotts to people? People look at me like I'm crazy. They don't understand...

 

[Hatetofly]

And they never will...
