So we'll have two St George's statues in Orlando then? :rofl:

where is the other... Epcot?

Yupp.

 

[JungleSkip]

Yup. In Germany.

^ Gentlemen prefer bronze...

The only St. George statue I'd get really excited about would involve a missing ear.

I understand PCL is digging holes behind Mummy today. One of the holes was described as "big-ass". Too, landscaping next to Sinbad is being torn out at a rapid pace now.

Hmmm...the area where the 2 trains will pass each other?

The Orlando Sentinel has posted some pics.

I find it infurating that they posted small pictures that couldn't be expanded. There are some curious things in the bottom picture. The top picture is useless though...they completely missed the new wall. SMH.

^ yeah, there is a concrete form set up far back from the waterfront. Why are they building something in the middle of nowhere?

Exactly. But alas, the photographer was obviously clueless...

Did anyone with a brain go to USF today? Crane pics are nice and all, but there are other areas under construction as well!

Orlando Theme Park News was out there today and should hopefully post their update by tonight or tomorrow.

While I was at Nassal the other day I saw something that leads me to believe that they are prepping the molds for the giant statue that is part of the Weasley Wizard Wheezes' facade. I don't have any pics to share of it though.

Just thought I would let you guys know.

 

[violarum]

What exactly was this "something"? Also, :rep: for those pictures, even if they made me die!

 

[Teebin]

^ Nassal is making that too? Incredible! Universal Creative seems to fall back on Nassal for everything great and good.

Molds for a giant multi-part statue. Sort of exactly like this:

Interesting...

So I'm not a Potterhead, but between the Weasley's Wizard Wheezes store and Gringotts coaster, WWOHP1 and WWOHP2 will be set in distinctly different times. Something like 2-3 years apart. Hogwarts Express should create a good buffer zone for diehard Potter fans.

Sorry if this was obvious, but I just realized it.

EDIT: I hope they do the rabbit-in-the-hat trick, and in a way that it won't be a nightmare for maintenance.

Haha. ;-) Nassal is the shizzle.
