You can see the foundation for the cottage and the forming of the queue path.

Great photo. I wonder what the structure that is under construction in the lower right is going t be used for?

Nice! Thanks Scott!
My thoughts as well. Its pretty large. Queue space? Meet n Greet? Fastpass+/recharging area, similar to the ones in Storybook Circus and the Rapunzel bathrooms?

Wow! Looks to be a long ride! (Hopefully) Anyone know where the entrance is? I was thinking the middle left of the building, next to the outside drop. I would think that bathrooms will be placed here, i haven't noticed any others around the FLE.

Thanks for the shots, Scott.
Buildings in lower right are part of the covered queue (according to the model). Following the model, the queue begins in the center and winds around the lower right before going under the covered "cabins" and into the mine.

Interestingly, it looks like larger planters are going in by the Village Haus... maybe some big trees to block the the last backstage sightline...

How about where the exit/shop is?

There are bathrooms in the "town" part of the BatB area, near Gaston's. They also have some in the train station in the Circus area (though I know that is not what you meant). I believe there are existing bathrooms next to Village Haus as well as ones near the Cheshire Cafe -- I'm not sure they need additional bathrooms beyond that and don't think any are part of the 7DMT construction.
There does seem to be some space at the bottom of the ride (nearest to pooh/tea cups) -- could fit a M&G or shop if they wanted, though supposedly none of that is planned.
I wonder if there will be any show scenes in the load/unload building at either the end or the beginning of the ride.

Here is an over the wall picture of that structure, taken from this video.
From this perspective it doesn't appear to be a very big building.

I wouldn't say too long of an outside queue, but they need the queue line to be as long as possible to prevent back flow onto the main pedestrian walk. They have a limited space to do so, considering the entirety of 7DMT is surrounded by existing infrastructure, not to mention they can only fit so many people into the mine because i'm sure the track takes up a majority of it.

I'll say it's been a while since I've stared at aerial photos intensely, it's almost nostalgia for the construction of FLE here!
Anyone know what the "cut" (for lack of a better term) in the top of the mountain on the right-hand side of the picture is? It's in the "grey" part of the stone right now. Is that water feature? Place for some other sort of construction to be added on? Water feature? On the model, I dont see anything coinciding with that area.
Edit: adding picture to show what I'm talking about:

My guess is water feature, but look at the opposite side of the first lift hill from those cut outs and there are more cutouts in the middle of the small hill

Farther to the right, just opposite the lift hill from the ones highlighted, right? My best guess is water feature, waterfall down that flows around, under, and out on the other side, but I didn't see anything like that in the model, so I'm not sure. I guess, looking back at the concept art, there is a waterfall in that general area, so maybe it is.
Don't expect a long ride, there really isn't much track.

One blog said that it would be 3-3.5 minutes long people on here (Lee, maybe?) have said it would be more like 1.5 minutes.

Looking at some other recent pics, it seems like it is difficult to see from the ground, but I wonder if it is merely a facade wall. It would be an easy (but still nice) way to finish off the very top of the mountain.
And hide the cast member basketball court from the ground - or the new FP+ fireworks viewing area
