Teebin is like Chuck Norris... even his compliments make you feel inadequate.

And I mean that in a good way. One love!

Building permits filed for Hogsmeade Station (Building 235), 9 3/4 (Building 64 E) and the building between Gringotts and Platform 9 3/4 (Building 64D)

 

[Teebin]

The docs actually mention "9 3/4"?

No, but I know that is Building 64 E. Also, it's connected to the original foundation layout permit for it. Likewise for the other station.

What a coinkydink!

Talk about catching up with stuff, pretty cool the progress being made while I was gone.

On a side note, when I was in Los Angeles, I went on the the WB Studio Tour and on the lot they have their own WB Museum with the entire 2nd floor dedicated to Potter with original costumes, props and things like that, and they have the original Sorting Hat there too, definitely worth a look if you're there.

The train station permits are on a 10 day review timeline. The norm is 7 days.

 

[Teebin]

^ Yeah, I believe the FL Governor axed the train program. He will probably ax this train as well...

This sounds like a fun experience. Many of those original Potter props were in Florida 30 months ago. Guess why...

Replication and inspiration?

 

[Teebin]

Replication

That one. I even have a video of one of them being played with in the most unusual place as it was taken home from the shop to protect it from being stolen. I was so starstruck I couldn't speak when I saw it.

Headed over to UO today and said to a friend of mine "I love how a few weeks ago, I saw them doing vertical construction at WWoHP and nothing else has been added since then." A few hours later? More vertical construction!

What's new Craig?

Oh...whoops. Posted the pic from my friend on Parkscope and forgot to post it here. Gimme a second.

Here we go:

As the 'Skip said, he'll post the image here shortly. I didn't realize it wasn't even posted here. Sorry!

They're adding bleachers for Cinespec. CNN and Fox News should be on the scene shortly.

Uhhhh bleachers no sir. Stadium seating that rises from the earth maybe, remember this is Universal not that sideshow down the street.

Sweet... How many cranes on site today

World's first hover seating. It'll rotate around the lagoon like the Carousel of Progress, and be powered by Stark Industry's newest hovercraft technology.
