Ok, maybe I should clarify, no one is going to take pictures of what they're doing. Pictures of cranes from 2 blocks away don't show a lot.

It's only $35 for a chopper ride...I've thought about going on one, but haven't yet. Once the Transformers site has the foundation being prepped/poured I'll be more likely to go up.

That is unless you are just in the mood for a chopper ride. They are quite fun in their own right. AND you could maybe take a pic or 2 for fun. We would still ooh and ahh over your dirt pics. That is after Teebin explains to us what we are looking at.

That starts in a few weeks as long as everything goes according to plan.

There is more than just dirt in a few places now.

Gringotts, Waterfront, Transformers, Hogwarts Express, and Hogsmeade Station would all be worthy areas to get pictures of.

I'm looking at taking a chopper ride in January. Hopefully there will be plenty to see all around both parks.

Wow, we have had the wall angles for months! Look how that angles hard over above compared to the SFWMD plans (bottom of picture below). BTW, I have been told that the reason they don't draw absolute below is so that it is not grossly complicated to understand (lines over lines). Thus the couple of jags around old obstacles.

Walked around and saw some good views of this area today. I am no mathematical genius, but is this overall area larger than the area being used for WWoHP at IOA? It sure looked like it from the angle I saw it at. Does anyone know this one way or another?

Its actually a smaller space but they don't have a larger roller coaster taking up a huge portion of the area. So it could feel like a bigger land, since it has more available space. Although I just did a quick check on google maps so I may be wrong.

Yea, it'll feel bigger because the vast majority of IOA's land is taken up by Dragon Challenge.

The whole wizarding world will still feel too small when you add in 10s of thousands of people.

The ride connecting this section to the original WWoHP is probably the biggest giveaway, currently. No, they haven't announced it's Potter, but the layout of the plans and what we know about the area makes it a dead ringer.

^ We have a whole lot more evidence than that! We have Nassal building gringotts domes, ye olde dormers, weasleys wizard wheezes statue, what appears to be a half completed Victoria Embankment, an entrance that is some kind of mini-maze, tram tower column documents, documents stating north and south station... and it goes on and on and on... it's Potter. All of it.

Well I know we have all that. I was trying to make it simple.
