Updates 9/12/12 SDMT track?

[Vernonpush]

The Rapunzel Bathroom area is coming along

Rockwork may be soon

Over at the mine train

It looks like track is going in (excuse the quality of pics- cell phone- enhanced)

Thanks

Looks like it!

I wonder if these imagineers have nightmares about rockwork....
Anyway, thanks for the pics.

Thank you to everyone who posts these brief picture updates every few days.
These are just as rewarding and informative as the massive professional updates.
Keep 'em coming.

Now ... for an aerial update to help put things in perspective, for those directionally challenged among us. Scuttle?

Yes, thanks to everyone who takes pics and loads them for us, you dont have to do it, but makes our days better!

Still not sure why they roofed off the building before putting in the track. Doesn't seem like a whole lot of wiggle room in there. I guess they are raising them from below or craning them in from the side?

I suppose the thought process for making the building first is inside on SDMT there is only a couple turns and a lift hill. This should be much easier to deal with than building all the helixes inside EE.

Thanks for the pics!! I'll be there the 18th to 26th. I will post some pics, if anyone wants any special pics. Let me know

I believe that Scuttle said recently in another thread that he was heading over-seas for a while.

Yes, I want pictures of EVERYTHING.

See if you can get a shot from upstairs @ Columbia Harbor House of the new restroom area. Have not seen one from that perspective in a while. Besides that, I think we would enjoy anything that you would be willing to share.


Thanks @mitchk

Progress looks great! So excited!

I don't know if I just haven't looked hard enough or what, but does anybody know what the bathrooms will look like? I've heard many times that there is supposed to be a replica of Punzy's Tower, but looking at the photos I can't see anything that looks like it'd be her tower... Is it that tall, skinny dome-esque thing? Maybe I'm just blind or something...

I also heard that it was going to look like the Snugly Duckling, or at least the inside of the bathrooms anyway. Punzy's murals in the ladies' room and wanted posters in the men's, or something along those lines.

The tower is going on top of the hill basically above and behind the bathrooms creating a forced perpective looking towards HM.

Oh, okay! That makes a lot of sense. Thank you!

If you look at the third photo, right behind the worker that is leaning over there is a grey thing, that is the base for the tower.

Yep I'm going over to Germany/Austria/Italy from Sept 18- Oct 1. I was going to try and get up before, but looks like it's not going to happen, but when I get I'll be going up quite
frequently since the weather is better. Only thing is I'm freaking out that I am missing Epcots 30th ANYONE FEEL LIKE PICKING ME UP A COMMERATIVE GUIDE MAP!!!!!???? I collect guide maps and will be very disappointed if I don't get one. In return I'll promise to keep the aerials coming.. Lol.

Is the 5th photo down the framework for the Little Mermaid shops? and is there any concept art for those Rapunzel restrooms? I can't imagine what all those weird shaped armatures are going to end up as

But Graet pics, thanks for posting

Yes, the concensus seems to be that that is the framework for the structures that will face the Mermaid area. That has been no concept art for the Rapunzel area, but there is a thread here somewhere with some segments of the blueprints for it.

Thanks for the info. I've seen the floor plan (overhead) blueprints just haven't seen what all the different restroom buildings are going to look like. I'm guessing it'll be like the Village Hause area at the other end of "IaSW" with lots of little rooflines next to each other
