DCA ToT Update 11/03

[bryon1]

ToT has had all of its scaffolding pulled down and there has been regular ride testing of the middle shaft. (just wait and look and you might see the doors open...about every 15 min.)

Just this week the construction wall has been pushed back to the front of Hyperion building while its on Rehab.

They pulled out a part of the concreet and are relaying the street and the curbs up to the tower. They should have the street poured by this weekend.

They have been working furiously to get the Fastpass area stuckoed. And the framing of the changing TOT/TLzone sign has been built. Inside the main lobby has some great detail and will be right at home with Floridas. Even an stain glass window/front door.

Dont plan on coming out to ride it any time soon...Ive heard late April early May for the opening.

Thanks for the update!

Do you have any photos?

Sorry no photos, but more elevator cars just came in the other day and now are testing both the far left and the middle shafts.

They have poured the street from the Hyperion up to the gates to TOT, but not in the attraction area.

From what I was told they were testing the doors, NOT the ride itself, still lots to do inside on the ride...
We have some kind of preview for passholders on Wednesday...I will let you know if its anything major.

You were told wrong, sorry...You can see the elevator car inside the its holder inside the shaft. (the silver part surrounding the brown part) All day Thur. and Fri.

Just stand outside long enough youll see em.

Not much in the way of info, especially if you already know the ride. They had a CM in costume, and renderings of Costumes and the Gift shop and a video promoting the ride. They did have the Prince's horse from the upcoming Snow White Musical, along with some AMAZING sketches of the set designs, they also had Carolers dressed in victorian costumes, exclusive merchandise and hot cider and popcorn, and they passed out some Brother Bear trading cards, describing your totem according to your birthday...I will try to scan one.
It was fun!
