Update from BlogMickey. Look at the top of the launch tunnel. Unless those just haven't been cut down to height, then could we been looking at some kind of theming on the tunnel?

Maybe, but it could also just be framing for the parapet.

You don't realize the scale of this project until you see photos with workers in it. Just amazing!

This attraction can't help but be awesome.

Yeah, that looks a lot like parapet framing which a few thought was for theming on the main box.


The bit of wall that sticks up above the roof.

I was wondering if that meant a bit at the top would be decorated/themed like the crenelation of a castle.

Perhaps security would arm the parapets against crowds with torches looking to tear the building down.

Thank God they at least pushed the big box back seveval yards from the iconic Energy building! Can you imagine how much worse it would have looked if they put them almost touching each other?

From today.

An overview.

Workers doing work on the transition tunnel's roof. The piece of already installed track is under wraps as well.

Still fairly convinced the incline will have solar. They're building a wall with space for doors at the base of it. Perfect location for some as well.

Bits of the A/C installed on the transition tunnel.

Still a hole where the transition tunnel will eventually connect. Looks to be more framing set up around it as well.

Materials staged up from, ready to be installed. I believe the white bags are concrete.

They've put red tape over the edges of where the solar used to be. Couple of workers walking around on the roof today.

The top of the walls got a trim it seems. They might be flattening it out?

And it ain't much to look at, but the inside of the pavilion. Would probably get better views at night.

I would be happier if the pretense of an a themed concept is no longer pursued. Epcot would be more successful as a traditional theme park, then such theming of buildings make more sense. How many times do I have to say this as well?

So you’d prefer boxes over mind bending ideas like sse and horizons??

No wonder Disney gets away with the crap they let by these days... no one has any ambition
