No its Uni related, and the next Disney park I'll be reporting from is in Cali

^Think these guys work for PCL?

Portion of the Gringotts roof is up.

Not with that footwear. They appear to be theme park geeks to me.

I was thinking higher up than basic workers. Who dresses like that in a theme park in September?

The phone on the hip has me suspicious.

Is it just more, or does the Gringotts building seem small considering it's already getting a roof?

It seems small because it is sitting in a wide open flat area with the full sky everywhere. It is a wonderful illusion of place and relativity.

Yea, I figured it's just because there's no real sense of scale for it yet.

We need so aerials!

And some sleuthing around Nassal would be welcome as well!

^ btw, those could be Nassal managers in that picture. I would recommend that if anyone goes to Nassal again, they go in a group of three or more and that all have video capabilities with them. That way, if there is harassment, one can back off across the street and keep filming the harassment. Then we can put the video up on the web, pulling down Nassal's pants. :smiley:

btw, I followed up with the guy who took the pictures

"From what I gathered, I think they were employees but didn't work in a capacity directly related to the project."

 

[Teebin]

^ Probably UC or HHN folks taking a break.

 

[JungleSkip]

Okay, I take it back. The building is huge.

I was going to attempt a helicopter ride today before I take to the skies in a larger aircraft, but the weather isn't cooperating as well as I would like. Maybe when I get back.

 

[DragonSlayer]

That photo from Simpsons does give a better idea. I was also thinking recently it doesn't look that massive but it is just the scale - the first couple of photos the day it started going up gave a better idea because they had the fence / apartments in them too. Think of all the coaster-ey goodness that will be inside

 

[orlandorocks]

Hey guys, I put a ton of photos up on OrlandoRocks from today. The San fran side crane is fully built, the gringotts building has a hell of a roof structure, and the waterfront is looks great. BTW, everyone know that are going to redirect traffic to the waterfront so they and on have one barrier (the one facing london).

I got some great TF pics too, post them soon.

Sweetness THANKS!!!
