How often do they have to do "snow cleanup" in Hogsmeade?

Can anyone take pictures of the hogwarts catsle. The higest tower has white-ish yellow residue facing the Jurassic park section. Also, the mountain has a bunch of white spots (and it's not bird poop)

Rockit's line is now wall free.

About the London waterfront wall...whatever they used for that marble look was either not done properly or was of poor quality (or maybe both). It is cracking all over the wall, not just on the tops where the lamps will be. Those are where the most serious/visible cracking and crumbling is taking place, but it isn't the only area. The odd thing is that it is very thick and cement-like, not like a simple multi-layer latex/paint texture job like I figured. Bob or Teebs, any refreshers on what that top "coat" is? I could clearly see the concrete form in a few places where it was badly cracked and crumbling, and it looks to be about a half inch thick or more.

The turbidity barrier has been placed in front of the London waterfront again as ongoing 3rd shift maintenance to fix the wall is underway. What exactly the compound used was, I'm not sure but it can't handle the weather :lol:

I doubt the constant dips down into the 30s and 40s followed by quick returns to 70s and 80s the last few weeks have helped matters. That kind of weather action is a bit abnormal, so accounting for it is not what I would expect, but I could see it being the culprit. That kind of relatively rapid expansion/contraction cycle has to wreak havoc on materials.

You and me both! I've been miserable for the last few days.

I really hope the issue with the London wall isn't partly a result of trying to get it done fast, because that would cast some doubts elsewhere. Whatever the issue, I also hope it is something that can be taken care of overnight without the need to do any deconstruction or anything that would require another construction wall.

Do you guys think it could be caused in part because this is made with a styrofoam interior/center instead of completely made out of cement?

BTW, they were starting to put roof tiles on the new IoA kiosk. Pics of that and Hard Rock Cafe forthcoming... As soon as I get home :thumbs:

Nah... there is so much foam/concrete all over the parks that date from decades ago. I seems to me they tried a new product. It is a compound as HTF said, a filler of some kind that did not perform as they expected. I am surprised to see Nassal stumble like this. The Phase I mockup that sat outside their workshops for nearly 3 years wasn't there only for inspiration I don't think; I always figured they were testing the Florida seasons too.
