Looks great from that angle, but hopefully they will also deal with the sides and back. At the moment the show building is VERY visible. It looks lie a castle atatched to a show building from some angles.

They have done a really nice job with the finish, it looks perfectly aged.

Perfect. Honestly, there's no other word for it.

Apparently they're painting a rock work mural on the show building.

Yup. I saw them painting the building and "aging" the rock work as well.

If you think the picture is good, seeing the castle in person is AMAZING.

My friends didn't think it was going to be that big when they looked at it from the PoE, but when we were in the DD queue, all they could do was say "Wow." And then admit that it was in fact very big.

I wonder if people will freak out as much as they did for the back of Everest or will they give Universal a free pass? Hmmmm....

I have no problem with the show building being a bit visible as long as NO ONE GIVES EVEREST ANY CRAP ABOUT THAT ANYMORE.
:lol: :sohappy:

Grrrrrr.

Last time I was there they hadn't started on the castle, but I did sneak a peak of the staging area behind the park one night.

If it looks as crappy as Everest, I'll mention something. Fortunately the ride looks to actually come through on it's promises, unlike EE, which will erase any building concerns.

Here is a better picture of the mural:

You know I saw someone taking a pic of the same mural as me, and she gave me a tip on where to shoot from. (My friends were hurrying me too much to get a better shot.) I wonder if that was who I saw?

Hmmmmmm... :drevil:
