Wizarding World - Diagon Alley Discussion - Part 2

[Nico]

I didn't have my camera with me when I was over in front of the facades, just my video camera. You can see the (blank) Leaky Cauldron signage at around 45 seconds into my video from yesterdays update.

Look again at the sign! Its not blank at all. It looks as though the cauldron is the there, and it fades a bit! Great catch

 

[Disneyhead]

Why do you say that? Are you guessing?

Because they are cast iron. No, I am not guessing.

Good catch, Surfster!

Everything is shaping up so beautifully!

Looks like your right! It was very hard to see since it was so sunny yesterday. I really thought it was a blank black sign.

Do we know when the actors will get their private tour like they did last time?

 

[TheLastAshen]

YESSS! Can't wait to see more of that sign. Also, has anyone else noticed that you can see the black crane thing on top of Gringotts from the waters edge by the Dine In?

Great video! It's funny, seeing birds on the fountain makes it feel like a real city.

At just about the 46 second mark, it almost looks like the sign drops to black, like a TV being turned off. I think that might be a resolution/pixelation thing happening with the video itself, but it's hard to tell. I don't see any wiring in the chains holding the sign, so I assume any effect will be passive.

Robert Niles is reporting the dragon should be installed within the next week

I was just there this morning and they sound very hollow and light weight for cast iron when you knock on them.

 

[Teebin]

^ Thanks GAcoaster!

 

[freediverdude]

Would they have made them out of aluminum instead? Or more like a fiberglass type of thing.

Should we be expecting an update on your site?ray:

You can make out a bit of the lettering, too. I adjusted the levels a bit to make it slightly clearer:

Is it just me, or does Wyndham still look like it's 12 different shades of white?

 

[Teebin]

Yes, I have said I thought they would be aluminum till I am blue in the face on here. However, short of wood, there is very little that they couldn't make them out of. Even a heavy composite plastic wasn't out of the question.

Should we be expecting an update on your site?ray:

What are you expecting an update on?

Is it just me, or does Wyndham still look like it's 12 different shades of white?

Yeah, work has been splotchy on it for the past 6 months. London appears to be the least of managements worries right along. I think they need a few more painters.

So, I guess the fountain has been lowered to its base?

OVERKILL MOMENT: So, I guess we can assume that the historically accurate aluminum winged dude is made of cast iron too?
