They've also started putting tarps up across all of the top of the "fencing" wall that is to hide the garage. Looks kinda strange, not sure what they are doing, hopefully we get more aerials soon.

I find the fence a little too perfect. WDI would never make a fence that straight and regular.

They've started finishing the last pieces of track for slinky.

Do we know yet how much the 'slinky' mechanic will play into the ride? Based on the track so far, I could see them doing some little surprise that would elevate this coaster, similar to the swinging cars in 7DMT.

I am skeptical that there will be anything like that.

Looks like the concrete pad for one of the queue structures is currently being used to hold contractors equipment.

The equipment has been moved off the pad so it looks like they are continuing work on the new TSSM entrance.

I'm trying to make sense of the transition area here. Interesting placement of that new paved road, for construction only? I thought the access road would be a bridge over the transition tunnel but I can't see that yet, here.

This is a good question. There is clearly going to be an access road there, you can see where the gate will be. I can't see any way this entrance goes either over or under the road.

I'm only just noticing in this picture the scale of the "station" building. The angled portion in front is obviously the entrance and start of the queue, and I'm assuming most of the lower front section will be queue (two levels?) - but the large concrete building in back... I know it's for train storage, but it seems a bit of overkill. Do we know what else might be in it?

It's train storage and maintenance. On the side you can't see there are entrances for three tracks which takes up the whole width of the building.

I was wrong. Check out @marni1971 's map, the gates are clearly there. I imagine a bridge is probably too much in construction and liability cost if all day access is not needed.

I am guessing the asphalt between the gates will get replaced with something more appropriate when the rest of the paths are built.

I sure hope so.
