The elevation changes around Celestial Park are nuts, and cannot be conveyed in zoomed in aerial photos.

Seeing the way the giant mound along Destination Pkwy has been going down AND additional truckloads of dirt have been rolling into the construction site, it's not too surprising!

I was struck by the height variation looking at Fyre Drill the other day, realizing the queue goes under a bridge and how the surrounding area is so much higher than the ride will be so people can look down on it:


Aerial photos really don't give the full picture of the grade changes. It looks very much like Celestial Park is quite a bit higher at each end than the middle, and the waterways are going to be significantly lower than the walkways. The views should be amazing!

Do you guys think there will be a time lapsed video of the construction at Epic? I love time lapsed videos of amazing construction sites. My company has a couple and they are stunning.

I have always assumed that's part of what the pole placed in the middle of the site was for (along with security cameras)

The fact that we're seeing grass being planted really shows things are wrapping up on large areas of construction.

Man, that's an incredible amount of (visible) work done in a year.

That "Phase 2" restaurant outside Dragons got built absurdly fast.

I think it kind of needed to be built for the visual break— it was that or a tree covered berm until it was there.

Will a moving walkway actually be built here?

Even if they just build a covered walkway I'll be happy! Nothing worse than having to sweat it out to and from the parking lot as well as being exposed in the event of a thunderstorm.

Bio posted the 4K version of the video to YouTube:

Are they not going to have trams in place taking people to and from the parking lot? Otherwise it'll be super great being covered in sweat and getting your steps in for the day before you even get to the entrance.

The rumor is moving sidewalk down the center of the parking lot (unless it gets cut for budget).
