  If you look up as your roam around the parks you will see safety lines and barriers on several rooftops. Here you can just barely see one on the Golden Horseshoe (I did not have time to go for a Mark Twain ride to get a better picture)
  Scaffolding going up on the Big Thunder load/unload building.
  From ground level could not really see much else.

  The Golden Horseshoe was the media center for the event.
  Thought it was interesting they placed plants on the steps.
  If you were curious what a media center is, it is a location to get information, make arrangements, work on computers or in edit bays, and prepare for the events. Here is a look (cannot really tell much from the picture though).
