If this ends up looking like the concept art, this is going to be one of the prettiest places in the entire resort

Yes it is. The whole place is pretty much focussed around this area, and it will be great to see some theme park calibre theming brought into DTD.

Looking great. Very exciting.

I find the fifth and ninth pictures interesting. It looks like there are different levels of the bottom of the Springs. I wonder if that's just to give it a realistic appearance, or if the water will have enough of a current to actually cascade down that area like a little mini-waterfall.

When does the new Planet Hollywood Observatory will be finished Construction?

Agreed. It has always felt a little off going from a park to DTD because the theming was just never on the same level

No waterfalls, just taking the appearance of a real spring's different levels of depth. There will be movement to the water, but like a Florida spring, which is usually a gentle rolling.

It's kind of hard to tell from the pictures but I was wondering are you still able to walk from Marketplace to the West Side?

Yes, through Pleasure Island as always. Town Center will be a new route between the two where the Pleasure Island parking lot was located.

Still seems like they have a long way to go. Spring 2016. I guess it will be ready June 1, which is technically spring.

The project will not be done anytime soon but you should be able to walk all the way around T. rex by Christmas which means the springs water feature will be done. We should be able to walk around morimotos and the new steak house as well by then too.

Will they close Planet Hollywood while it's being transformed into the Observatory?

What is the Planet Hollywood Observatory? And do you have the concept art of the new Planet Hollywood Observatory?

The interior isn't expected to see a dramatic change as the movie props will stay, although windows will be cut to allow a patio bar.

I'd expect some pretty major color and decor changes (with the props staying or being shuffled around), because The Observatory concept seems to be a little more upscale than the kitschy style of the current PH.
