Dudes building bamboo. This is along that wall around the outside ride path.





Dude welding.



Dude.. with something stuck in the wall.



Painting.



Could this be a door hinge?



And maybe a set of torches for Kong? There's one on each side.

Wow that first pic looks great! With the trees there, that mountain honestly looks real in the background.

On either side of the Kong head arch? If so, then yes. Those were a relatively late decision and got a green-light after the argument for why they deserved to and should be there. Can any of you guess what the argument for this was?

And btw... the item in the far right of the hinge pic looks like a torch of some kind.

TOO (same picture), this is the first time I have seen what appear to be the room darkening doors that happen beyond the decorative gate that is yet to be installed. Notice how tight the seal is on those.

No, that would be against it. I italicized the "for" to be read as in "yay" or "yes" or "greenlit".

Im guessing the fire is either because people love it when the dragon blows fire so they add it to draw the people or as an homage to the jp arch.

Bingo! If you remember me declaring a few months ago that the JP arch wouldn't be returning in any way, it was because of these two torches. ;)

While I wish that they would, I doubt there are any plans for that. Otherwise, no idea.

On Second look it does seem it is a door, good spot!

They really want to keep that Florida sunshine out, this is going to be one of the most immersive attractions ever!

So if the JP arch is not coming back, what is the transition from Skull Island to Jurassic Park going to look like? Is there even going to be one?

I believe that the left and right side facing the toon bridge will look the same. The torch flames should be able to be seen in the distance and will be a draw. The only thing I have found odd was that the popcorn cart/building will be going right back where it has always been on the left... or so I have been told.

The bamboo that is being installed has always left me confused and wondering, "but, but, but?". Right now, it is as if the extended queue will see the trucks driving by and into the temple. I am baffled by that which I am sure pleases UC. :saywhat:

Awhen, someone is posting ALL of your pictures on the magic site without giving you credit.

The person named Mike S. on there even had the gall to say, "I didn't take these pics, gotta give credit where it is due", and that was it!

Not sure if it is a member or guest here, but wanted you to know.

I don't know whether it is a member here or a guest, but what a pig to not credit your username and the fact you are on OU.

Gawd that makes me mad!

I count 4 times Mike specifically mentioned Awhen or Orlando United (often both) on that very page of that thread...

He posted three back to back posts (because they are limited to ten photos) by first mentioning the photos were from OU (again).

The post you plucked out of context is him further correcting someone who thought they were his photos.

Gotta defend Mike on this one, you are clearly the one with some bone to pick.

He made two separate posts with all of awhen's most recent pics... with no credit guy. Why would anyone connect brand new pictures with a post all the way up at the top?
