Great job Mike. :thumbs:

I was about to do that and you beat me to it.

Thanks, Mike!! :rep: That's definitely really helpful! :thumbs:

Now maybe someone can make one with just the outlines over the aerial pic? Say... Teebin? Since, I think, you already have it drawn out.

I will have to check. I toss files out when I seen no more use for them beyond my immediate needs.

It appears as if they are ready to go vertical with the rest of the area..it is easy to make out the building vs. walking path areas now..they are moving so fast with this

btw thank you for the arials Vyrus

FYI,

Beams for the HE are being unloaded (right now) and erected (weather permitting) today. :thumbs:

Awesome! This thing is really picking up speed.

Unless winds die down (or aren't as bad a few miles up I-4), I highly doubt they'll be erecting any beams today with the wind advisory and tornado watch. Might be a good idea to be in the area tomorrow or Thursday, though.

Are they prefabbed, much like the monorail sections, or have they not been described to you yet.

Just going off of previous knowledge I'm 90% sure there prefab but I'll have something for Draco later :thumbs:

We should collect donations for someone from this site to go up in helicopter and get pictures of all the projects. I would contribute to HFT or Bob going up and getting ariel shots, just would never have the time myself to do something like that.

 

[Vyrus]

btw thank you for the arials Vyrus

Would love to take credit, but was unable to go up for shots :thumbs:

This really puts into perspective how long the HE ride will be.......

Update from Florida Thrills Network.....

Welp, getting that 2008-2009 nostalgia again...

I know this is pretty stupid but I never realized that parking lot was behind Jaws the whole time. Lol.

That's the IOA/USF team member lot.

There's going to have to be a seriously awesome story line for this to work out, because even if it's a 'transport ride', both the fans and the regular guests will be expecting something more exciting than just the train (more than enough for me, not enough for most guests) for a ride that length.

I'm as in the dark as you can get concerning Harry Potter 2.0, but since it was announced I've considered the Hogwarts Express to be the feather in the new expansion's cap; even more so than Gringotts. Due to not only the visibility of it as the only means of transportation between London and Hogsmeade, but also due to the sheer novelty of a ride that picks you up inside the gates of one theme park, only to drop you off inside the gates of another.

That being said, I'm sure UC has a helluva ride in store for park guests. I mean, isn't a Dementor attack rumored (ala Prisoner of Azkaban)?

Like I said, I'm in the dark, but based on what it is I believe more attention is being paid to Hogwarts Express than any other part of the expansion.

I could also be completely wrong. :thumbs:

Cheers!
