New aerial from Bioreconstruct on Twitter. You can start to see the beginning of the wall that will separate the street from the Muppets area. This is being built farther from Muppets then I expected.

So the courtyard is getting expanded after all!

His British accent honestly sounds fake. I can't stand watching his videos, but honestly the quality and video thumbnails draw me in. I'm a sucker for good youtube thumbnails.
Watching his videos is kinda like going to Universal. From the outside everything looked great, then you get in and are just shouted at the whole time. I'd love to see a show with DSNY and Jim Hill.

For Star Wars land.....IMO they look like something for the First Order...
If these are the gates to enter Star Wars land it will probably be a mix of both styles. First Order architecture is styled after Art Deco architecture because popular culture remembers the more brutalist forms of Art Deco being associated with Nazi regime. Art Deco architecture in the US was more detailed and ornate, but Art Deco architecture in Spain, Italy, and Germany was more plain and brutalist. The First Order (based on what we've seen) is more similar to Nazi architecture.Other people have stated it will more closely resemble this

I'm very curious on how this area is going to turn out, looking good

Looks like the new road will be much narrower than the original New York Street. It should be interesting to see what they do with the new space beyond the curb line on the Muppets side.

Thanks for restraining yourself. I can't even imagine what you'd want to do to the Muppet building!
Pretty much what Disneyland did. *shrug* But with a new sign. The Disneyland one looks tacky.
EDITED TO ADD: Oh wait, the theater already has a new sign. A pretty nice one. It can stay.

Will the tunnel transition area have two entrances? Based on the aerials it appears this way and each takes a different route into SWL but come together at Streets of America.
Am I seeing this correctly?

Not sure what you mean. This is the entrance from Muppets Courtyard and old Streets of America. Not sure how much will be built up around it to qualify as a tunnel.
The entrance from TSL is not pictured here. So why are you questioning if it's to be a tunnel?

Thanks - this is clear to me now. It does seem like a narrow entrance although this may help with force perspective when you enter into the land.

The entrance will be where the red arrow is. Some people though there would be a second path through there, seen on the right side of this picture, but it's pretty clear something is being built there that will block that path.

It should be sufficient, they only time you really have a lot people using the entrance at one time will be at the beginning of the day.

Just a guess but when it opens there will need to be a queue to get into the Star Wars area. I could see that curbed area being used as a temp queue space for crowd control purposes.

I'd imagine that's what they're planning. Can't wait to see the massive crowds to get in come 2019. Disneyland is going to be incredibly overwhelmed being the first to open it, but I don't think DHS will be any less packed for it.

That'll be nice. Anything to break up the concrete jungle.

I wouldn't think that once you look at that picture anyone would have a problem figuring out why the fountain was temporarily shut down until the land work is done.
