Twitter for a pic with an update tonight after I get my haunt fix.

Based on hatetofly's twitter pic, does it look like Gringotts is now in its finalized size? (As in, not getting more structural steel closer to the FFL side)

Okay am I the only one that doesn't know what Gringotts is supposed to look like? Other than the interior and main entrance I don't think Gringotts has been shown. Maybe i've missed something. Then again i'm a die hard fan so I doubt it

So what are you referring to? You don't know what the facade, the queue, or the actual attraction will look like?

 

[cameronw99]

The facade. I mean the front is shown in the movies a couple times but thats a big building. Just curious as to what it will look like complete

 

[Teebin]

Sorry to yank this up again.... but it will look something like this. The triangular building on the left end of the blue building (the big show building we see built now) and jutting out is the Gringott's facade.

 

[cameronw99]

Ahhh I get it now. The entire facade to the building wont be "Gringotts". It will be mixed among various other buildings. Thanks Teebin. I should have figured that much out though. Shame on me

 

[BJCool]

^Exactly. For further reference, look at violarum's concept drawing:

 

[cameronw99]

Thats epic. My excitement just multiplied

 

[Hatetofly]

From tonight,

Going to put up some special shots in my secret stash in about 5 mins.. :skellington:

 

[JungleSkip]

^^^Great shots!

Should be getting more from those aerial shots we got the other week.

 

[BJCool]

^Well I was only saying that since it looks like they have extended it from its status of the aerial views.


EDIT: @bioreconstruct posted a neat view of sight lines of the show building from Central Park.

Arrows point to the new show building at rumored Harry Potter London and the Jaws shark at Universal Orlando

 

[Teebin]

^ Hmmm. That doesn't bother me at all... just looks like more of the San Fran skyline. Tells me they won't be decking it out in London miniatures. Probably pale sky blue, end of story.

Absolutely wonderful pics HTF and much appreciated!

How wide do you think these alleyways will be? I can just picture most epic traffic jam in theme park history if they aren't so wide

 

[Teebin]

We already know thanks to help from Disneyhead measuring a building for me. See below.

I agree 110 percent it's better being a nerd and knowing what's happening around you than not being one and being totally clueless :thumbs:
