I wonder if rock work of that scale will ultimately obscure Doctor Doom, which is currently quite visible from certain vantage points in that area. Fingers crossed.

I'd rather see them try to block view of Harry Potter somehow. Or maybe bring back the JP gate next to Kong.

I'd like both of those things, too, but neither appear to be in the cards.

Make the main path through JP a vine canopy with fan misters so nobody can see sh*t.

Between the rock work and trees, you shouldn't be able to see Doom from the main path in JP.

It would have been interesting if the entire spaghetti bowl was fully enclosed behind the high walls of a "paddock". Then, when the train hits the launch tunnel prior to the tophat, that would mark when the raptors escaped. Maybe the Indominus Rex broke down a fence that should blocked their escape. Thus, the spaghetti bowl would be hidden from sight and be more of a mystery to those in line with the "windows" only showing a train flashing past with the remainder blocked by rockwork. Some other windows would be screens with raptors flashing past or periodically attacking the window.

To me... one of the creepiest scenes was in jp3 in the ptreadactle aviary. Would've been a cool concept for an attraction.

With Disney World about to reopen, it would steal back some limelight.

Unfortunately, since the park is closed for the day, we can't see it going in. But I'm sure when tomorrow morning comes there will be plenty of photos to look at. Only question is can they get the entire tophat in one night? Maybe? But they're using the cooler temps at night to their advantage... making it easier to install the track.

Don't know why not. The way these guys work it could be installed by noon if they showed up at daybreak. Amazing design, manufacturing and installation.
I watched them winch the Hulk into position, it fit but not like this does.

Swiss = German???
Edit, thought there was a difference. Both are Swiss. I guess I want my coasters to run like a swiss watch. Been to Utah and have seen what S&S made there, too scary for me.

My guess is they will assemble the top hat on the ground over night. And do the lift in the morning.

Especially the last section that they “top off” with will have to have the tree/flag secured on the ground first.
