Miscellaneous DHS updates:

I'm still unclear why they're building the new wardrobe building on what should be future attraction expansion space, but whatever.

So whats up with the lake? Are they just doing some work on it or is it going to be replaced outright?

I believe someone mentioned that they are planning to add a giant christmas tree for the holidays there, presumably for the middle of the island. Maybe they are using this time to resurface the lake from damage?

Has the RNRC building always been visible from inside the park like that?

Yep.

They're going to tear the other one down... which is right next to Indy. There's room for a Major land there by doing this.

And by placing it there aren't they also blocking view of Star Wars from World Drive?

It looks like they opened up some of the street heading towards the SWGE entrance, is that new or part of the reveal of the new themed street?

That is the new Grand Avenue, and that street has now replaced the path from Star Tours to Muppets as the only way to get to the Muppet courtyard.

We're discussing the new area on this thread here: Grand Avenue/Grand Park (Muppets) | Page 8 | Inside Universal Forums

@AliciaStella already explained it

That said- thats a great arial shot. All the work behind those black walls are just dirt. Curious if they're gonna go tall trees on the tatoine trader side- it could certainly use it.

It also looks like they might drop those green/blue walls down in the next couple months and block off the "tunnel" entrance and put an access gate next to the old SoA facade.

That is where I was hoping they could start the trolley route from since that is an open BOH road already. But I also want them to utilize that corner façade with a real shop. I was hoping that was why they built that green/blue wall a little wonky to enclose that end of the street.

Isn't that corner supposed to be the Flatiron Building?

Nahhh. The area has been "revitalized" from a factory-warehouse district (of New York) to the hip trendy Grand Avenue in L.A.. Duh.

Since the Guardians coaster is so similar to RnR but with multiple launches and more elaborate, unless this ride is confirmed to have no inversions, I wonder if they want to phase out RnR and that rumor about it being turned into the Monsters Inc. door coaster might be true.

Took a few photos today, not as good as Bio's pics from above, but a little bit of working being done

Star Wars Stage has gone again, they are supposed to be trying again with the mobile stage.

The WDW Twitter has been active with ToT lately. I don’t if it’s because of Halloween or if they intend on doing something with it.
