Nice pictures OrlandoRocks. Looks like the San Francisco side is getting a black iron/ aluminum fence. It also seems like they've stopped pumping water out as the water level has risen on the "dry" side of the dam.

Has anyone with a powerful lense tried to get a picture from the Simpsons queue? Seems to me like you could see what they're doing in the park/walkway area.

Great picture, as always, Orlando Rocks! :thumbs: :rep:

The fencing I was talking about

 

[BJCool]

Does that match up with other fencing in the rest of San Fran?

 

[Hatetofly]

Yes, very similar BJC :thumbs:

Florida Thrills has posted an amazing update: http://www.floridathrills.net/content/ftn-universal-orlando-construction-report-09-12-2012-694/

These two are a great perspective of the construction.

Pic really shows the huge size of this building.

this is really going to be something once it's completed...possibly the best themed area in the world (maybe excluding Disney Sea)

From Whylightbulb:

Universal is throwing everything but the kitchen sink at Potter 2.0. The main ride will blow away anything Universal or Disney has done stateside in the past 18 years. It's a step above Forbidden Journey and will earn its place among the classic theme park attractions. Carsland looks great and RSR is a wonderful attraction but in terms of the "wow" factor I believe Potter 2.0 will win hands down. There will be some amazing "how did they do that" moments and enough immersive thrills that I just don't think Carsland has.

Some of the interactive technologies Disney is playing with for Avatar look interesting. I'm not involved with Avatar's main ride so I don't know what they have up their sleeve for that one. The bottom line is, so far it looks like Universal is going to win this round in my opinion.

So they would be winning round 2 then.... :thumbs:

So, I take it no one has yelled to the wall workers asking them when the dolphin lamps and lion heads are going to be installed?

I don't know why the lions are not done yet, but I would imagine the lamp posts will be las. Probably to allow any machinery a turn radius, when working on the sidewalks, and not get the posts damaged.
They won't take long to wire and bolt down.

they were too busy hiding from the rain, notice the downpour in the photos from simpsons...

We also don't like yelling at people. :thumbs:

The fencing I was talking about

Is it me, or do I see some a walkway somewhat installed already?

 

[Teebin]

I am happy they are replacing that old railing. Not only did it look like splinter hell, it was such a dated design. This wrought iron makes for a more reasonable transition.

They are pumping the water back, the damn should be taken down very soon. The water level is almost back to normal.
