  A wider view from the roof of the parking structure.
  More intermediate floors and other structures taking shape to support the attraction.
  

• Page Number: 4
  

  Several mounds of dirt near the center of the site. Hard to tell what is going on. Maybe utility work for the buildings going there.
  A look at the two entrance tunnels.

  Concrete being pumped in, looks like they are workin on the rock formations that will hide the marina structure.
  Continuing to the right trees have been planted on the new berm.

• Page Number: 7
  

  The circular structure is receiving walls on the first floor now.
  No real visible progress in the basement.
  

• Page Number: 8
  

  Beyond the show building the far building will be two stories. Cannot see anything rising for the show building between the two yet.
  The scale is really hard to convey in pictures.. but notice the worker in the middle.

  Some new truss like structures (or some online are referring to them at AT-AT structures).

  The new Guardians of the Galaxy Mission Breakout Attraction is racing toward the May 27th opening date.
  A closer look at the trees going in. No sign of the new bridge yet though.

  The backstage building structure looks to be up now.
  Moving away from the construction site to the cast member lot adjacent the parking structure.. a new building is going up there too.
  Back to the construction. In the foreground you can see the footprint for the second show building that will go right up to the backstage road.

  Panning to the right a different angle of the large building.
  In the distance you can see the top of some vents on the far berm beyond the retaining wall. That is the roof of the new train tunnel.

  A different angle of the marina structure work.

  As I was walking back they were lifting one of the structures. I thought maybe I would get a good look at where it was going to be placed. Unfortunately they were just lifted it up, moved it slightly then put it back down and the crane moved on to another lift.
  One more wider view of the site before moving on.

  Hard to see.. but this is the view from the Rivers of America. the new trees currently block a good portion of the parking structure lights. Once they grow in it will be better (also not sure if all are in place and if any buildings will help too.
