The walls have been moved around a bit as you approach the Pier.	01.15.10

The new planter area is done	01.15.10

Also the walkway to the Zephyr has been moved closer to the water and you now walk by the new trees	01.15.10

The walls are still up as they finish the paving nearest the Bay Area buildings	01.15.10

Now over to the viewing area which is on the home stretch now (last I heard it was slated to be done by the end of February, so only another month to go.	01.15.10

Out on the platform there were some workers, but no visible testing going on.	01.15.10

Back to the viewing area.. the fences/rails are not in yet.	01.15.10

The interactive fountain is moving along	01.15.10

	01.15.10

Noticed a speaker has been installed on the lamp posts. It points toward the viewing area, so maybe for sourround sound? Since it will be at your back..	01.15.10

Then all of a sudden two of the midst/water screens were turned on.	01.15.10

	01.15.10

The power/pressure was slowly turned up	01.15.10

	01.15.10

	01.15.10

	01.15.10

Then the rig in the back was raised up	01.15.10

	01.15.10

It extends over the top of the screen.	01.15.10

Then for a few brief seconds all three were on (I did not have time to change lenses or locations, because almost as soon as they were all on one turned off)	01.15.10

	01.15.10

We watched for a few minutes then decided to walk around since nothing else was happening.	01.15.10

Now some shots from the Fun Wheel	01.15.10

No real visible progress on the boardwalk	01.15.10

The camera guy packed up and headed out (also noticed they covered the wood they were working on)	01.15.10

The walls have been pushed closer to the Zephyr as they work on the last patch of dirt near the viewing area.	01.15.10

	01.15.10

Noticed there was water on the platform now, looks like it was starting to submerge	01.15.10

Workers checking out the rig	01.15.10

	01.15.10

There were workers on the perimeter of the platform nearest Ariels	01.15.10

All the concrete looks to have been poured in this area now.	01.15.10

	01.15.10

	01.15.10

Looks like the concrete has been poured behind the walls	01.15.10

A look at the new box on Screamin	01.15.10

	01.15.10

	01.15.10

	01.15.10

	01.15.10

When I made it around to the other side the platform was completely submerged (to the storage level)	01.15.10

You can see the workers were still standing on it, which gives a good indication of the depth it submerges to	01.15.10

	01.15.10

	01.15.10

	01.15.10

Went back at night and the colors are now different on the structure (guess its the same type of LED lights that are on the Fun Wheel)	01.15.10

The projector housing doors were open, but no activity on the platform or in the viewing area	01.15.10

The work boat did head out with three CMs on board	01.15.10

It stoppd at the first housing then headed toward the ramp near Screamins launch	01.15.10
