@marni1971 is this the UoE maintenance area?

That looks like a travelling theatre frame. Not in maintenance bay though.

I’ve a hunch I can’t prove that this was during construction of the vehicles.

The shadow in the pic looks like someone took this image holding up either a cell phone camera or a small point-and-shoot.

Indeed. They had PaS in 1981.

From what I’ve seen of the building, this isn’t in it.

They look like they have 35 years of dust on them though.

Or construction dirt. Look at the unfinished ground at the very bottom.

I know what the maintenance looks like and it’s not like this.

agreed, it almost looks like it is in the archway through Communicore, The dirt threw me. I wouldn't expect new ride vehicles to have that much dirt on them. That said, maybe these are very early tests of the vehicles.

The cars in that phooto look like they're blue, like the vehicles were in the last 10 yrs or so. Weren't they originally more of a pink? I'd suspect that's from either reconstruction of a vehicle or them being deconstructed post closure somewhere.

If that's true, then at least part of the mural was saved!

Some of the smaller AAs were in central shops a few days after closure.

What about all the GMR AAs? Were they stored or are they (ick) being reskinned for other attractions?

I'm just going to ask that in the next PotC refurb they add John Wayne and Clint Eastwood as pirates.

It could be sort of like a tribute to WRE.

Just a few random pics from today of the progress from the outside...not much going on aside from a row of solar panels taken down.

Judging by the concept art, probably only removing that one row of panels:

There have never been solar panels in that section.

You're right!

..So did they do anything to that section of roof?

Other than neglect it for years, I don't think so.

I thought the same thing. Glad you did the research to find out.
