Anything different on the south side? Or the old building?

I see a new Instagram wall

 

[Missing20K]

Odd. There appears to be a steel structure floating on air.

Incredible feat of Imagineering by WDI yet again.

Higher and higher the cladding goes.

it's the new park weinie

It’s not a teeny weenie, that’s for sure.

What I cannot figure out is why they would not have taken that middle panel and have the top and bottom solidly matching the adjoining panel colors and then having the middle fade to a blend between the two colors so that there are not two harsh lines between the colors!

Because it makes more sense from a camouflage standpoint. Treelines are distinctly abrupt visual shifts in color and brightness. A gradual blending would actually stand out more than a sudden one will, because that's not what your brain would be expecting.

Probably a bit difficult to paint or maintain, too. Gradients aren't especially easy for physical painting when compared to hard edges.

When this thing gets closed up it is going to be the most boring construction thread ever as we have nothing but the colored box to talk about for two years

look at the new monorail thread, now there's some paint-drying reading over there... woof.

I feel like posting this about 100 times a day; "You can wish in one hand and crap in the other, and see which one gets filled first..."

There has actually been discussion of paint drying and curing recently in that thread. Talk about meta...

I know! Just read that junk this morning!!

Oh, I thought you were referring to reading that thread's minutiae was akin to watching paint dry.

So, it's paint drying reading about paint drying.

Oh, I was. The analogy was totally subliminal!

You don't know what you're missing!!

 

[rnese]

Not only is the paint drying, but if you look carefully in the foreground the grass is growing.

 

[ChewbaccaYourMum]

So are these painted walls just the cover for now while they build the ride or has it been confirmed this will just be the building?

No cool architecture design of Xandar or anything? :'(
