The train barn and maintenance area will have three rows of track and the trains when they arrive will be loaded onto the track right where that small circular orange barricade is to the left of the northern stairwell. Very similar to the Mummy set up.

I wonder why the chopper didnt post get any shots of any of the HE construction going on behind the soundstages where the track will be?

Yeah, they included a single shot of Cabana Bay construction in the middle of their Potter update, as well as a random shot of unused Dudley logs. Heck, if there wasn't a tower crane in IOA, I doubt they would have even noticed the Hogsmeade Station construction. I mean, they didn't even bother to include Springfield or Transformers.

Well one of you call up the local news stations and tell them what is going on. I did it a few times two years ago and changed the evening news. Just call and tell them you have info on a few of Universals next big projects... they will lick your ankles.

Well they need to be able to show it on TV. So if you know a precise time that something is going to happen, of consequence of course, call the media and tell them to put a chopper in the air. They have before and they will again, if you are sure.

Thanks BJ!

Note the curious custom bent steel items in the lower left corner of this pic:

^ That thing in the lower left looks like a rectangular truss that a truck backed into. Imagine how the steel workers react to engineering plans for a "twisted truss thingy" and figuring out the math and angles. Talk about a "mind bender"!

^ I had a friend who was an engineer on phase one and she said that desiging the odd angles made the project extremely challenging. I wish we didn't lose touch with each other since are kids ended up at different schools. It would have been nice to get some information out of her this time around if she was hired back for phase two. She was good at dropping hints prior to the offical announcement and back then I wasn't picking up on what she was putting down. This time I would know what types of questions to ask.

Celtic Engineering perhaps? That is owned by a female and they were heavily involved with phase 1.

Could be an architectural element from the films, maybe someone can find something that looks like that...

MMD-I don't recall the name of her company. I know that it was her and a friend of hers that branched out on their own to start their company and WWoHP was one of their first major contracts that they signed. Prior to starting her own company she worked for a high profile company in Orlando so she had made many contacts over the years and to land this type of job was a chance of a lifetime. What a great way to start off your new business.
