Universal's Cinematic Celebration Night Show

[Teebin]

And bigger and bigger...

They must have pumped water out to lower the level overnight.

 

[Mad Dog]

New Universal horror film; The Living Alien Scaffolding Creature in the Black Lagoon". It just grows....and grows.....and grows. Will it ever end? Starring Tom Cruise trying to revive his Dark Universe career.

What are they?

I think they were route markers for the old ferry.

Right, they are channel makers for now defunct Island Skipper Tours..

This project is driving me nuts the more it grows the more my curiosity grows. I for the life of me can’t figure out what the end result is going to be especially when the platform keeps growing. opcorn: Hopefully soon we see something that will make sense as to what the plans are.

Considering how much we know about other projects I'm super excited I know nothing about it!

 

[Doug A.]

I think that’s the part that intrigues me the most we know details down to elements of theming on other projects but nothing on this one. I am very excited as well and these are very exciting times for us fans with all the projects and expansions. :eat: (I feel like @Mad Dog with all my smilies)

T Tracker was there Sat. and commented that it looked temporary. Not that he's an engineer. And appeared algae covered. Hmmmmm

 

[UniversalRBLX]

This is really intriguing. I think we can confirm that the show will only be viewed from Central Park now because they are not doing the same thing anywhere else in the lake?

 

[Ridgepole]

Here's my guess. It is temporary. Think of it as horizontal scaffolding. Easy to stage materials on it for installation. They can pull up sections as needed. Easy peasy. Few divers needed, which are very costly. No fiddling with hanging off a boat. Work is or will mostly be done after hours. Also, you have a stationary physical grid to lay out elements instead of bumbling around in a "fluid" situation. Just a guess but makes sense to me.

Yet. They aren't doing anything on the Wet N Wild Parking lot right now either.

That makes more sense than anything I've come up with. It's either that or using temporary scaffolding as some sort or platform. Which doesn't really make sense to me.

Eh. I’m not convinced there will be another viewing location, but who knows. I don’t think there’s any useable space that can be reconfigured like Central Park

I doubt that this is really cheaper - haven't they been paying divers to build this thing and will need to do so again to have it taken down?

 

[Doug A.]

Yes they have been using Black Water Divers (company name)

 

[Teebin]

Someone should set up a survey on here whether or not we think the aluminum staging is permanent or temporary.

Yeah, I'm not convinced they are going to go any farther, I could just see another area that uses the London waterfront, the bridge, Lombards and duffs as the main areas. Probably could work in some sort of paid seating into there that way too. That assumes a one time a night show. If this is a 5 minute show that plays multiple times a night, theres not much of a need.

 

[Frank Drackman]

they are putting a skating rink trying to make it look like it is in front of 30 rock...jk

And I'm saying this will reduce dive hours, and make intricate elements easy to lay out. Quite possibly a lot of the underwater elements have been installed as the platform has grown

 

[Teebin]

If the bottom of the lagoon is in fact gunite, then I wonder if they are screwing the legs of the platforms to the floor...

just musing out loud.

So instead of having barges for live performers, just build a stage a foot below the water level....I mean a stage for a rock concert often looks to be a bunch of temporary scaffolding holding up a floor.

Hootie and the Blowfish? Riverdance?
