Yeap, just texted me now too :thumbs:

Well aren't you special!

Well aren't you special!

Need a pic of the Church Lady eace:

Looks like they'll be big digging soon on the main back stage road. Got underground markers all over!

 

[JungleSkip]

Awesome.

... Did you hear that? Yeah, that was me squealing.

Stoked.

The new waterfront wall is almost complete. Picture is coming in a few minutes...

I don't think you can see it in this picture, but the rebar for the next to last (maybe last, but it looks like they have some cleaning up to do to connect it fully with another section) is up and starting to get wood framing.

 

[Cecilia]

Oh, it is looking beautiful already. I look forward to sitting on a bench there and sketching park guests as free art lessons.

 

[JungleSkip]

Awesome pic. Going to look so much better.

 

[ReelJustice]

They've removed the smaller jut-out. Like I said a few days ago, we're very close to the end for this. Then, we get to see what happens next.

The lamps alone will be so nice.

 

[JungleSkip]

Ohhhhhh...I sure hope we get this detailing!

^ Thanks for posting that. I was looking at maxair's pic and wondering what the three steps in concrete were all about as two of them are above the waterline. That picture pretty much answers the question. And I do hope the verdigris lion heads are part of the design.

 

[JungleSkip]

The Lion heads would add so much amazing details there.

One things for sure, this is going to be one good looking area.

 

[Disneyhead]

I don't know why, but for some reason I am thinking that instead of St. George and the Dragon, we might get Nelson's Column from Trafalgar Square.

 

[Hatetofly]

Thanks for the picture mike! If you could post our thoughts of the mummy in that thread that would be great.

Ok, now I am going to say something horrid. If they build London and its waterfront the way I am hoping they build it... It will make Epcot's England look like a Victorian piss-pot.

 

[JungleSkip]

EPCOT's England is one of the most disappointing pavilions there. Just nothing all that compelling about it outside of the bar.

While I agree with you, I think you should brace yourself. Something tells me that once a fanboi reads that... this thread is going to blow up for a page or two.

 

[Teebin]

^ I am sure it is very compelling if you spend enough time in the bar first...

Oh, everything is.

But really, there are so many great sights in the country...and they went with that design.:bonk:
