    The crowd waiting to head down the Backlot when the park opens
    The walls have been shifted out and work has begun on the GRR side of the walkway (better shots later).
    Also noticed what appears to be a form for a wall going up. Is this the back wall of the theater already?
  • Page Number: 3
    Some trees have been put in between the Little Mermaid and the restroom building.
    Work on the dome.
    Out front the scaffolding is all down and the details of the new building are emerging.

    A closer shot of Mermaid while waiting in line for the Fun Wheel.

    The tallest fin is now ready for concrete over on the Cadillac Range.
    Work on the park. They are installing some rails around the outside, guessing to support some fencing, signs or plants?
  • Page Number: 7
    Here is a better shot. Also they painted the bracket we saw last time.
    A close up look at part of the queue over at the Little Mermaid. Looks like the ramps have been poured.

    Disney Channel Rocks was going on.
  • Page Number: 9
    Now over to the Dining area work. The facades shape is now clearly visible.
    Some minor details emerging at the grill. So far looks like the pizza place is more elaborate but it is still too early to tell for sure.

    Rebar is in and looks like they will be pouring the concrete near the gift shop and corn dog stand.
    A closer look.

    The morning haze had not burned off yet.. but you can see the Cadillac Range is progressing nicely.

    The roof was going on this Ramones (I think that is what it is.
  • Page Number: 16
    More conduit and pipes going in near the entrance.
    The show building for the Racers.
