I think there has been some concern that this scene may have been cut.

I wouldn't be surprised if the scene is cut or downsized, but the train still pass by the cottage like this, and "if" they are going to include a Snow White AA in the ride the cottage would be the place to do it

difference would be even bigger if they were inmigrant work force.Leaving out the politics or the pro-union/anti-union arguments. It is always going to cost more to build something with union workers than non-union workers...unless the union is doing a really bad job
Didnt rumors said around 1:30 minute for the ride (with around 30 secs more of each show section, aka cottage.. dark zone..) for a total of 2:30?

I sure hope it is not cut. That would be a really nice ending scene for this ride. Is the cottage visible enough to know if this scene is being included during the construction?

The Cottage has been built but isn't finished yet, and the dancing scene depicted in the concept art seems pretty elaborate, that maybe why is in doubt. I certainly hope something goes in the cottage though it's positioned to be the end of the ride.

they could just remove the animatronics and put a 3d projection.

There are more trees to be planted right? Doesn't seem full enough to be a forest to me.
I don't think we are going to see many more then this on the mountain. These trees are artificial and in the construction pictures and aerials you can see the posts that they mount to. There didn't appear to be more posts then there are currently trees. I do think there are more live trees still to be planted at ground level.

Thanks. I was referring to the live trees.

By the looks of it the ride is about 85% done. It's missing the grass, the detailing on the cottage and probably some more trees and props scattered around. But it looks very promising.

Take heart. While the track is short, it looks like it will be moving fairly slowly for a good part of the ride. I don't think that's a good feature for a roller coaster....
If I'm not mistaken, the posts and artificial trees serve as lightning rods. That's a pretty cool way to disguise them!

Keep in mind that all of them are mere younglings with a lot of growth ahead of them. Plus, given that its winter (and that they are new plantings) most of them have little foliage on them. When the ride opens in the spring I daresay it should look respectably foresty.

I'm gonna guess March as the estimated opening. Looks almost done to me! (finally!)

Good pictures, but that's not the cottage, that is part of the queue.

That's what I thought... I tried to cover my butt by saying or whatever. I took a lot of video and pictures, but that one I stood on the side of the wall.
