Maybe the big secret that everyones talking about is Disneys opening a new Drive in Theater using the Gravity building.

I kind of have to applaud Universal on this one, it's at least a better effort.

I think it’s new roofing. The old solar panels were installed on stands sitting on the roof, and those were removed last year

Most of the mounting poles are still there. It will be interesting to see if they put new panels up.

The mounting poles that are there now are new and have only been there for a couple months. For a while there was absolutely nothing on the roof. You can see what I’m talking about in this picture from a few months ago:

So it looks like there will be new solar panels (or at the very least solar panel looking things) on the roof?

Good eye, looks like solar panels to me.

Photo update as of Friday, August 16, 2019. Track sections being delivered to the original building. A few additional track sections were staged in the yard in the foreground (outside of this photo view).

A new structure is under construction between the two buildings.

I believe that is a maintenance bay.

I believe that is a maintenance bay.

It looks fairly similar in shape to Energy’s old maintenance bay. I’m starting to wonder if they only tore down the old one to allow easy access for construction vehicles and equipment, and now they’re just rebuilding it.

That and the maintenance bay would have had to have been majorly rebuilt anyways due to this being a completely different ride type and structure.

Most of the maintenance area will be roughly where diorama two / theatre two used to be. I’d guess this was for RV egress.

There again, remember the building also had its substation removed.

Are they going to name it "Michael"?

Nah, since it's standing so incredibly still it'll be named "Drax"

The avengers campus map describes this as a “Xandrian Outpost”...that’s a sweet poster and pavilion deisgn.

From the concept art above and the new concept art overall, it appears that new solar panels will be installed?! I honestly thought they would be ditching them, so I'm glad to at least see that element returned.

I sure hope that's not the final color.... the gray with the white lights on the side looked much cooler
