GREAT Update! Thank you kindly!

HRRR night pictures, Universal 360 with Burn After Reading, and Me!
:lookaroun :lol:

I really do like the traditional 2-D original Character designs. It would've been much worse had they try to make it CGI. I enjoy 2-D hand drawn personifications of machinations.
:D

Though that guy is totally a stereotype of Robert Rodriguez (His name being...Rodriguez actually.) and they animated it really simply to the point it looks like Frisky Dingo, but still...cool.
:lol: :sohappy:

[Oh, and the best part by far was about the Roller Coaster Tycoon Scrolling Signs. That's totally them!]

I noticed the pic of Jack the Clown and The Caretaker. I must have missed that last time. May I ask where that was taken?

BTW.....GREAT pics as usual.

They're part of the Halloween Horror Nights display in the lobby of the Horror Makeup Show.

Great update, thanks!

Is it there on a perminant basis or just to promote the upcoming Halloween Horror Nights?

It was there several months before the 2008 event and still remains, so I'm assuming it'll be there semi-permanently - and rightly so. That might change after the Wolfman arrives and they (presumingly) change out the lobby displays.

They still have the big rings to put up, but it also looks like there's supposed to be a big screen all along the side of the lift tower, according to the concept art and looks like it's on the guidemap, too. Does anyone know if this is actually happening or not?

they are closer to opening... they added the danger, no enter signs to the fences as seen in his first till last photo...

Is the bit where it comes out the firestation (i believe it is) going to be fenced off? Or will the public be able to go right to the support beams?

The original concept art had a big screen kinda thing but the newest stuff just shows something like a banner.
