Just gonna leave this here.

This goofball claimed to have "cracked the code" for Battle Escape, but I hate to break it to him this is definitely not for Battle Escape. BE is going to be trackless, now it is possible that this could be for the millennium falcon or it could just be Disney filing patents because they can.

After seeing the latest videos I am really curious to see what they do with the tiered retaining walls they added after all the rockwork was up.
They filled them up with soil and now planted some trees in them but now those retaining walls look unnatural in front of the rockwork.
I wonder if they will skin them and add more rock pieces or if they are planning on adding tall grasses to hide them

per @marni1971's info, this patent has nothing to do with SWL. Sorry, FB. Keep trying.

After reviewing the construction process and given the success of the new themed land based on James Cameron's Avatar...

It's not too late to forget about this whole Star Wars thing and transform this place into...Southampton Port!

The big building becomes Titanic itself containing Disney's most ambitious attraction ever where you can take the journey. They can even leave the construction cranes and connect it to the Rivers of America.

Not sure it's even for the Falcon ride. We have seen several patent applications that have not been implemented...yet. I think we should be skeptical about assuming that this is the ride system for the Falcon ride.

LOL. I loved the proposal for a Titanic themed hotel/casino in Vegas. The ship would have been the hotel and the iceberg the casino. I imagine the ocean as the parking structure.

The Falcon ride has seven theaters on a turntable. That is not the Falcon ride either.

Our favorite lady blogger has more video of Star Wars construction. Judging by the June Gloom (it's a SoCal thing, you wouldn't understand) and hundreds of guys working, this looks to be taken on Tuesday morning, June 6th.

A third floor is going on top of the Alcatraz ride. That building is HUGE!

EXACTLY!!! This is what we haven't been talking about very much. Even the most simplified renderings show rock towers that extend high above the height of the roofs. We can see some of the footings on the roof, but there's a lot yet to come. Look at the difference in height between the RSR show building and the Cadillac Range. We think these buildings are big now, but whoa, Nelly, we ain't seen nothin' yet! Just watch M&F structure disappear from down river. (At least that's what I hope will happen, along with two killer attractions.)

Looks like we re going to have to fly in some full grown Sequoias from Mariposa Grove.

By "third floor" are you talking about those little pop-up structures on top of the building?
