New Aerial Photos - Starting to close in tents

[danlb_2000]

There are some new aerial picture over at ThemeParkReview.

You can see in these pictures that they have started to close in one of the tents. Looks like one segment of the interior surface has been installed.

Thanks. They certainly aren't hanging around on those tents. Amazing how quickly they progress on things.

Also looks as though all the construction walls around the carroussel have been removed....that sure was a speedy refresh!

Some more construction pictures over at Theme Park Review.

In one of these pictures you can clearly see that the inside surface of the tents will be fabric and not a hard surface. Still waiting to see if the outside will be the same.

I appreciate the updated post. looks like the crowds were huge.

I've never seen the alternate exit route opened up like that.

The oblique angle of these photos also show how large the hole for the Seven Dwarves' Mine Train is.

I wonder how they will hide the show building from Storybook Circus (or whatever it's called). Seems to be very exposed. Also, I'm surprised at how small the space for the Snow White ride is. It must be much more vertical than horizontal which can work for a roller coaster.

If you're talking about the Little Mermaid show building, you could see in the scale model that there will be a rockwork "bridge" over the access road between the tents and the LM building. It will serve to hide the back part of the showbuilding as you walk from LM or Teacups into Storybook Circus. And the gate blocking the road will hide that the rockwork isn't solid down to the ground. (I presume they've designed it in such a way that it can be moved out of the way if something extra-tall has to pass through that alley and into the park.)

The one wildcard is the view from a few select places within Storybook Circus, where you might be able to see the show building in between the two tents. Making the tents taller/wider like they currently are will help, but they'll probably have to either plant a few trees back there, or do like they did at Splash and stick some small areas of fake rocks on the edge of the building just in the places where it can be seen.

Thanks for posting this! I was more interested in all the Sorcerer's of the Magic Kingdom stuff. I loved seeing Merlin's lab!

I really can't wait to see the full effect of the forced perspective on Beast's castle when the construction walls are not there in the foreground!
