Funny you mention Nassal! I (slightly off topic forgive me but its noteworthy) saw Nassal on I-4 headed towards Tampa today. Not sure where exactly they were going but it was a white pickup truck with the Nassal decal and info on the door with large materials covered in it's bed. I live in Lakeland and this was no more than 5 minutes on I-4.

Here's a pic I got of the interior of KC from last week. My guess is that one of the doors on either side of the track will be for the queue leaving London and the opposite door will be for arriving in London.

Nassal is booming!! Everybody is using them right now except BGT that I know of. Disney, Universal, SeaWorld and Legoland where they were heading are all using them for current projects.:thumbs:

It could be there or the Zoo or stadium, possibly even a hotel. While they may be known for huge extravagant projects, that is not all they do too.

Was backstage today, a few verbal updates/things I saw:

For one, I immediately noticed how freaking massive the footers were for HE. I'm a measly 5'8" and they were maybe a few inches shorter than me. Not to mention they were as wide as they were tall. Definitely no need to worry about the supports not being "supportive" enough. That track ain't goin NOWHERE!

I also saw an addition to Gringotts. Towards the West-end of the building, right by those tall cement block structures I assume are stairwells, they were adding more steel to connect them to the building itself. Explains why they haven't started covering that side of the building. I'm guessing that the structure will be a maintenance bay for the HE trains (?), because it seemed like it would line up perfectly with the train tracks if the HE were to pass through the station (does that make sense?).

Finally, the steel that is currently being put up over the HE station itself was tall. Like, really tall. I'm just surprised at how tall everything is in person. Tall.

Anyways, pictures were obviously a no-go, but some kind soul will hopefully be going up for aeriels soon and will bless us with amazing photographs of what I've described!

1. Those footers are even larger underground
2. That entire area is the train barn and maintenance building
3. It's nothing for some of these structures to be between 5-7 stories in height.

This looks like another Kings Cross type structure. Has this been discussed?

I believe the structure in the back is the actual Kings Cross station where we we'll board the trains.

Correct. There will be a "normal" platform. And there will be a "magical" platform.
