Are you looking at the photo of the group in the lost continent just outside of the entrance to the WW?

That picture appears to have been taken next to the trees on the left of the FF service gate. Why they raise steel in the distance and then stop, and then start with a tower in the foreground is beyond me. Because of the angle, I cannot figure out exactly what it matches on the plans. Could be two or three things.

It's the base for a crane similar to the one at SS44.

I wondered that but then thought nah... Answers my question as to why they would be building something so far off from the show building beginnings. So, another tower crane... *yawn*

Only during this kind of crazy construction would a giant crane be yawned off.
I'm by the giant crane! Which one? Oh I'm so excited

There will be two tower cranes, if that's what the steel structure is at the end next to FFL. There is another one over next to the Disaster building. Pictures of the waterfront, steel towers, and SS44 will come tomorrow.

EDIT: Oh, and expect the current path through the old Amity area to close shortly after the waterfront area opens and they have that path available. I overheard and saw several things this evening. One worker walked past me with a set of plans for the waterfront completely unrolled, although there was nothing indicated that we don't already know from what I was able to process in that short glimpse. Pretty much just confirming plant areas, a wide path, and the shape of the area. Later on they were going over lines (sounded like walls, though not sure if these would be barrier walls or actual construction) through the brick paved circle in front of the Amity restrooms.

Looking forward to it!

Also, there's this from Spirit today:
Oh, and over at UNI, Potter 2.0 sounds better all the time. Just heard of a BIG change coming to help facilitate the expansion and it splains a lot (like why UNI execs were seen visiting a competitor recently!)

yeah it still works Felipe, I was mostly just being smart since I spotted it hours after originally posted. I think some people have fallen asleep on here. During phase 1 we would of spotted that within mins of being posted.

Well, it has to do with something a competitor does. So, what does Disney do that Universal would need to emulate or improve on for Potter?

RFID ticketing for Hogwarts Express?

Agreed and guilty. I've been away and quiet for too long myself. I miss the euphoric excitement, the intense and almost rabid hunt for even the smallest minutia all throughout Phase 1. But I'm starting to get REALLY excited seeing the first few pieces of vertical construction for London! And I can't wait for the sights to come in the months ahead!

:happy:
