Those kuka arms really interest me, what on earth are they going to do with them?

You know how the giant screen in T2/3D has a hidden door that opens and closes super-quick to let the motorcycle through at the last moment? The arms will be involved in the next-gen evolution of that effect, with a dome screen, the door on Kukas, and you on the motorcycle. ;-)

So I'll confirm the spinning aspect of the RV as the only new info provided by OI.

I'm not even sure that's new.
And if I'm correct, the vehicles themselves don't spin 360 (like Cat in the Hat or MIB). It's the motion base turntable they lock into during the dome section that does the spinning. Just like Primevil Whirl is a "spinning coaster" but Mummy is a coaster with a mid-course turntable that spins the RV 180 degrees...

Seth the RV's can spin without the use of being in a motion platform or locked into a turn table.

I'm slightly surprised at the style, but I guess it's only one tiny section. Looks pretty nice!

Also given the particular site in question my first reaction was I wondered whether it was perhaps intentional... Who knows.
 
I'm assuming the themeing on these buildings isn't complete, but it appears odd. Maybe its an out of the way section or has dramatic things on either side.
 
Here's a few pics from 12/7/13:

One thing that doesn't seem to be coming through on the pics is that the whole section of bricks where the "cracked" molding is is a different color. It is obvious that it is intended to show that the building has been expanded to show 12 Grimmauld Place.
 
Full Scale RV Testing is underway within the Vault...
