Thanks I noticed it and said there is some foreshadowing. A couple next to me were like huh

 

[BJCool]

Great pics hatetofly! :rep:

 

[Felipe]

Awesome update, hatetofly! :rep: Thanks!

PS: Glad the dog is ok!

Looks like the foul weather has slowed them down. Thanks for the pics HateToFly.

I'm curious about what will be done with the 2 sections that connect to other 'Lands.' those portions don't match the Victoria Embankment part.

Btw, concrete walls should be going up soon at Gringotts. Rebar is being inspected tomorrow. I assume this is one of the below grade pits.

It is nice to see that there are at least two cranes still on site. Somewhat necessary when one considers the fact that they build these tower cranes with smaller cranes lifting the sections. (there is such a thing as self rising tower cranes, but these do not appear of that ilk.)

Thanks hatetofly.

I hope those construction lights are not going to be used during HHN. lol

two new shots from OrlandoInformer. Scaffolding is coming down!

 

[John321]

Now that the scaffolding is down it looks really good.

thinking the announcement comes after they finish the water front, which will be right around a certain other park will be inviting guests to a new area...

The waterfront should open before FLE, unless they hit a big snag for some reason.

And I doubt you'll get an announcement this year. Anything is possible, but I'll be shocked if it happens.

Wow, they are distressing that wall FAR more than I would have expected them to. It seems a wee bit dark to me. Surprised no one else has commented on this. Guess we can expect heavy verdigris streaks beneath the lion heads.

I cannot wait till they finish the waterfront :happy: It is so beautiful!
Thanks for the pics hatetofly and I'm glad your puppy is ok :smiley:

 

[violarum]

I think that since it's a theme park, the visual effect that the wall will create should be accented for it to be noticed right away. The verdegris is going to pop very well if the ageing process continues as we see it. Plus, the dark accents of the lamps will create a necessary rhythm that will frame the facades behind it, all the while being embellished by the verdegris lion heads. I agree with these colors.

 

[Felipe]

Looking great! Thanks for the pics!

If the water front opens soon, will it be part of London, San Francisco, or World Expo for the time being? Or do we just not talk about it?

I think we're going more towards the lets just speculate about it route. Someone today told me that there wont be Hogwarts Express connecting Phase 1 and 2. Guess some people still aren't convinced.

 

[Teebin]

To clarify, I was talking about the distressing below. I never said there shouldn't be aging... it just seems too dark to me. I also never said there shouldn't be verdigris stains, I was merely commenting on the fact that none of us knew for sure where they were going next with the faux grainite treatment and was happy that they are introducing a full modern day look.

I'm thinking it won't be part of a land until Potter opens.
