Quite a few new pics on Bio's twitter tonight:
Per Tim Tracker's latest video, the back side of the Forbidden Journey locker structure now has some support arms/brackets installed on it. Hopefully to theme the structure on the JP side.

Well, I agree I’m one of very few people that care. It’s like the Hogwarts show building. Hiding it would have made the attraction just a little better in my eyes. Same for this attraction’s theming, although I’m looking forward to seeing how everything plays out.
Unfortunately, theming is often such a subconscious thing that it can be the first thing to go.
It seemed like they just ran out of money towards the end of Hogsmede construction.
As for the JP -> JW argument...I feel like they're phasing in the JW look and we'll just have to live with them together
The rock work has shown me that they're at least committed to some unification

Yes, the rock work looks amazing so far. I’m also thinking the land will transition fully into JW over time.

I think they might have overdone the green moss/growths on the rockwork. It doesn’t really match any of the rockwork that’s currently in the land, and makes it look a little more fake IMO. Reminds me a little of Disney’s recent repaint on the “mountain” in the Canada Pavilion which also came out a little worse.
It's all gonna fade over time. Make the colors more concentrated now, so they wash out in the sun a bit.
Yeah the moss doesn’t really make much sense because moss doesn’t grow on rocks in direct sun like that.
JP v JW and now onto fake looking moss.
What a time to be alive.

Well in all fairness, it's really not far along enough to really judge the elements that they're theming yet. You can't even see the whole rock structure for all of the scaffolding and scrims. Plus they haven't even started doing planting or finished the other hard thematic elements. Yes as we look at it currently, it looks out of place.
The lighting in this picture seems off a bit...like it was taken at dusk
It seems to look fine as seen from the all encompassing view
They're also, not exactly done yet haha
I think we shouldn't take bio's pics' color tones too seriously. Remember when people thought the warden tower was purple.
Moss? It looks more like seaweed to me...
He does get a bit carried away with the saturation at times. Months back he posted a picture and I thought they had repainted the DC columns dayglow orange.

Yeah from the photo's the track looks like a Prince coaster. And the thing isn't ready.
Wasn't it the rock work for Hogwarts that was repainted multiple times. Above that, trees, shrubs, water and the distance you look at it (without a camera) are all taken into consideration.
I've seen them painting the lion heads at the waterfront in the London area at Studios, blistering sun, reflection of the water and all these things are taken into considerations otherwise they could have painted them in a warehouse.

Yes, another example is Kong, at one point the rocks were deep blue.
Love it and plenty more to come I'm sure.
How long has that water bottle been in that beam? Did someone leave it? Throw it up there? So many questions. :tease:
