An overview of the site from the parking structure	7.29.16

Panning from the left (north) to the right (south) starting with the large dirt mound.	7.29.16

The first section of the wall is receiving a coating. Also note the i-beams going in to the left.	7.29.16

A lot of equipment and materials in the middle of the site, nothing happening on the skyway hill	7.29.16

The wall along the Big Thunder Trail. More wall taking shape on the right.	7.29.16

A lot of activity down toward the Hungry Bear this week	7.29.16

	7.29.16

Now a closer look around the site. Starting with the wall and columns along the Big Thunder Trail	7.29.16

Here you can see the crew applying the coating to the wall.	7.29.16

More forms and wall taking shape. This looks to be along what may be the entrance way (hard to judge distances at this angle and distance so not sure where they are exactly).	7.29.16

Continuing to pan across to the right.	7.29.16

Conduit waiting to be installed on the left	7.29.16

I was wrong in my guess the forms in the middle were for a buliding. They are for a retaining wall near what looks to be the point of the island.	7.29.16

Re-arranging the temporary retaining walls for pipe work.	7.29.16

More conduit work in the near lot.	7.29.16

Looks like another wall is taking shape beyond the new one.	7.29.16

Steel i-beams have been driven into place, guessing these beams are for rock work support	7.29.16

A new beam being lowered into a hole and concrete pumped in.	7.29.16

Moving back to the middle of the site crews working on a large foundation area. Guessing this is for the Fantasmic marina.	7.29.16

Another foundation/footer going in.	7.29.16

Looks like the river is starting to take shape with the forms on the left forming on bank and the other being to the right of the outhouse.	7.29.16

Looks like they are putting dirt along the new wall.	7.29.16

	7.29.16

Most of the concrete pipes are now installed. Alot of other pipes and conduit waiting for installation and more i-beams.	7.29.16

A closer look at all the beams	7.29.16

Some of the pipes waiting to be installed	7.29.16

Noticed a large trench being dug at the base of the hill with the beams.	7.29.16

Speaking of beams from this angle you can see them putting concrete into one of them and several more waiting to be installed.	7.29.16

	7.29.16

Another look at the foundation in the middle of the site.	7.29.16

They were bringing in dirt and compacting it against the new wall.	7.29.16

A wider look at the site.	7.29.16

Notice how deep the trench I mentioned earlier is.. only the top of the cab is visible in the cetner of this picture.	7.29.16

A closer look.	7.29.16

A tagline has been added to the concept art on the wall	7.29.16

The tree is looking rather yellow right now.	7.29.16

The skyway walkways are now gone and new plants on the hill where they once were.	7.29.16

	7.29.16

From Casey Jr. you can see fences and get a quick glimps around/throuhg.. but due to the lighting and speed my pictures are not very good.	7.29.16
