Why was i breathing so heavy & my anxiety spiking watching that track piece being lifted/installed!?

Anyway here are my pics from Sunday night. I stayed long enough to grab this update lol









Curious to see how mmuch more gets done by Thursday

Somehow it's only now that we're seeing more of the launch come together that it's setting in for me that seeing the usual park sightlines like never before while you're on this is gonna be amazing.

Let's be honest, though. If Universal were to theme this game-changing coaster and its queue with shipping containers, especially a stone's throw away from Wizarding World, we'd never hear the end of it. "Cheap," "lazy," "ugly"... They need to theme the entrance to this with a little more pizazz than making guests feel like they're dock workers at the Long Beach port.

Here's an update from last night (sorry, no Edgar Allen Crow cameo this time)







If by some miracle I get out of LAHH by 11-1130pm-ish on a Wed/Thurs/Sun (closes around 1030pm), I might try to swing by HHN for last hour or two. So I'll be sure to get an update otherwise it'll have to wait until the final night (Nov 3rd)

Speaking of which, is there an hour in which HHN cuts off the parking fee? It would suck to have to show up for the final two hours of the event and have to pay $35 for parking.

No idea. I take the metro bus/subway like a good LA citizen but they probably charge $50 for being "late"

Parking is $10 after 5pm except on HHN nights. $5 with purchase of a movie ticket. You can always buy a ticket on the app, and after you get through the toll booth, just cancel the movie ticket.

Interesting in Florida, is parking is free after 6pm except on HHN nights when parking is free after midnight. Even at $5 I wouldn't pay to go to Citywalk here.

Technically it’s free past 1-2am sometimes. lol

Here's your Sunday night update:





On an early closing night of LAHH, if I'm NOT too exhausted, I'll stop by HHN again for quick update.

One week later update, not much visibly different

Sunday 10/06



Hopefully something new by Thursday or Sunday, if so I'll be sure to stop by during the last hour or two of HHN & grab an update.

@Crypt Keeper big thing that actually is seemingly being done this week is not that section (though that is great to see). It seems thanks to Mondo's/Five Fire's photos--heavy work is now occurring over at the dive loop.

DP: From Cow Missing--EXP Dens Sheathing is beginning to be applied to the main showbuilding.

Alongside from Cow Missing, with thanks to High Universal--later on in the course of the day; steel frames for what I think is the sound wall are now beginning to go up aswell.

Now I wonder if the main building might be completed sooner, if not progress quicker than construction of the rest of the track, given it's probably on more stable ground compared to the rest of the hill.

The main building is done?

 

[BriefCasey]

The main building is done?

I probably should have worded that better, I think I should have said "be completed sooner", since the main building is obviously still in progress but it's surprisingly already taking some shape on the outside, going off the those photos. I see where some window facades and/or doors could go, considering the building might be themed to a warehouse.

 

[fryoj]

I'd say the theming of the building should be the longest part of the build, so they probably want to get on that as soon as possible,
