I don’t understand the color choice for the tower... is it more blue in person? Purple doesn’t make sense to me at all for this

I think the colour is off in Bios photo as his is shown as purple.



It looks like charcoal here.

I also see there is a door inside so I’m guessing this won’t just be a shell and will probably have some kind of lighting.

Maybe they will have some kind of projection in the window of a JP worker getting attacked by a raptor (ala Revenge of The Mummy window scene). Or maybe they have some new technology that will project on all four windows with a hi-res projected scene.

That's where they are going to lower the cow into the raptor enclosure from. Spared no expense.

It’s a fake watch tower. Probably will have some dull lighting inside at night to make it seem realistic, moving spotlights outside pointing into the enclosure, and fake surveillance cameras in front of it.

There appears to be ZERO construction going on today.

And IRL the watchtower is not purple. It is charcoal and grey.

I'd say they're probably gonna wait for the afternoon rains to come and go, then get to work- if it's happening at all today.

I'm gonna say, "not happening today". There isn't a construction worker anywhere to be seen.

I hope they are all home with their families, it was a nice thought to top it off today but understandable they didn't push it.

Almost like they won't pay for mandatory OT on a holiday if they don't need to.

Honestly, that bunch could use a holiday off. They've been working like gangbusters for months.

Probably something we can take to the Reopening thread but how is the social distancing, U-Rest zones, mask usage, and virtual queues working?

The new tower looks a little bit reminiscent of the old HelicopTours concept art...

Surely coincidental, but I'll choose to see it as intentional.
