I think its a form. I posted a pic a couple pages ago that shows where they cut off the edge of the bases.

There's a lot of people like me though who are on the perpetual payment plan, where the payments just keep going month to month, so renewing isn't really a factor.

This guy :thumbs:

Aaaaaaand back on topic. We need some new arial photos....

We will get some in the future but we will never again announce them ahead of time. They will just show up

No pics of course, but it looks like the bypass portion of the HE track is complete.

Reminds me of Vegas :wave:

Not to change the subject (ok, well, maybe....) but remember that pit in the middle of the Gringotts bulilding? All I can say is that there is going to be an awesome high speed element there. Think of a helix ending with a "surprise" in the center........ Nothing more to say....well, maybe a dragon...

Is it a fire-breathing and scaly surprise?

Edit: lol. I only just now noticed that you said 'dragon' at the end of your post.

Sorry, forgot about that one.

Here they are for comparison . . .

Looks like they're repairing all the walkway lamp bases.

Im hoping its going to be bigger than the one in FJ. Its a cool dragon but I was expecting a lot closer to scale

It is. In similar news, I'm not so sure that your carriage will be supporting its own view... It appears that your view will be out of its spatial bounds, so to speak. And that the rail will not only be supporting this carriage.

Also, it has come to my attention that Harry didn't only see the Hogwarts Express and the station around him as he was standing on Platform 9 3/4. He must have had some other view. After all, all swords must enter a sheath somehow...

That sheath is about 50ft long by the way.

The Hogwarts station has gone vertical over at IOA :thumbs: I posted the closest pic I could on my Twitter :look:

 

[BJCool]

Brief, blurry shot of Hogwarts Express track from a HRRR pov.......

 

[Rwberger]

Great shot of the bypass track, BJ! Thanks!

 

[rhino4evr]

It's going to look so surreal seeing a train shuttle by on those tracks.

 

[JungleSkip]

Can't wait tp see the trains. Gonna be so awesome.

 

[TylerDurden]

dang those are good pictures. thank you!

 

[Felipe]

Thanks for the screen caps, BJCool! :thumbs: Gotta try to catch this view next time.

 

[BamaToTheBone]

Scale on a fictional animal? Its head was as big as the ride vehicle in FJ.

Im hoping its going to be bigger than the one in FJ. Its a cool dragon but I was expecting a lot closer to scale

 

[ReelJustice]

Y'all, I'm so confused

 

[ChrisFL]

Talking about people knowing or not knowing about Harry Potter 2.0, it reminded me of a story I read online about a guy crying in the lobby of a Disney Hotel because he just realized he had spent a ton of money to take his kids to Harry Potter and went to the wrong place.

I think it was the CBSnews.com website which listed the WWOHP as a "Disney" park the day it opened. :inquisitive:

I'm confused. Are you implying the track is going to be covered with a tunnel on which scenery will be projected?

Regarding, platform Nine and Three Quarters: fake sky effects projected beyond the skylight and the opening for the train?

Those pointed roofs must be for 66C. Hopefully this new wall they're putting up will extend towards FFL and grow in height as well.
