Now here is the new railings and new wooden planks installed. Its a huge improvement! Notice this will probably be spread out over the next 4-6 months as well.

More random refurbs and updates abroad. Also I want to point out that I noticed stuff most of us would never realize.
-Some new benches around lagoon at USF.
-The area the Superheros park there new vehicles is now roped off once they park.
-A new gate has been installed on the walkway about half way back to Blue Man parallel to HRRR.
-Temporary drink stands were all around the resort, about 10-12 more than the high point of summer from what I recall.
-Monsters Cafe was closed and appeared to be receiving a little cleaning on the inside.

Yeah, forgot to post these.

-P&B is getting some love all over as is Me Ship the Olive
-Seemed like Twisters facade has been cleaned up and the sprayers more active. But I really don't pay attention to it.
-Plumbing work near Richters is done for now but I have to think it will resume soon as the final product looks worse then before work started there.
-Also in case you missed it the SS's up front are being painted. I would expect before DM opens new graphics to be installed on both sides.

The audio dialogue was on today, I honestly do not remember the last time I heard it on while visiting IOA! Very nice to see its return.
 
You know I walked by the Hard Rock the other day and I was going to take a photo.. cause my brain was trying to tell me something was missing and I though about the car... and I didn't trust myself just saying the car is only inside.. glad you caught it
