Yep, anything that separates TBA from the rest of the park is a huge win.

That roof line just really bothers me and makes the whole thing look ridiculously wide. Another great example of how themed design is becoming too suburbanized. There’s no understanding of the reference.
This type of roof profile isn’t really about creating height for a usable attic level; in the case of a carriage house a hay loft. The classic barn has a gambrel roof that is the opposite of this, either the lower slope at the ride and the steeper slope at the sides. The urban Mansard Roof also follows the pattern and for the same reason, to provide more usable attic space. Instead, this roof profile often came from additions where continuing the roof profile would not provide the desired additional space. They’re very common as porches. This makes a lot of sense in a place like the South where a low porch roof is going to provide more localized shade (I’m sure we’ve all experienced a shade structure that’s too tall and casting shadows in the wrong place) while the higher interior roof gives heat a place to rise. This also means the structure to support this transition is right there at the wall.
The concept art actually handled this better. The low slope was only on one side and was over an exterior area. Now we have a very complex roof profile over what should be a simple farm building, likely because the desire to be “themed” is pushing it too much towards urban carriage houses. Even alone it reads as out of scale because it’s out of scale to its origin. The center high portion is too narrow and the structure below the low slope too deep for what it’s trying to sell. The whole notion of scale and forced perspectives demands a high level of consistency and introducing a break throws things off and can even exaggerate their perceived impact.

Right now it looks more like one of the longhouses at Polynesian Village

Really can’t understand why the peak of the roof had to be so high. It wouldn’t surprise me if they have some themed elements they want to put up near the ceiling against the walls like they do in many other stores around the resort. Wonder if there’s something a bit more extravagant planned that required the ceiling to be higher. Either way it seems that they cook up everything in a vacuum. No care on how it might relate to everything around it.

Is the ADA elevator up and running yet, or is that not going to be available until the queue is ready?

Its being built with the new queue, so likely won't be available until the new queue opens.
It’s is not as of yesterday, I saw the wheelchair parade leave my stretching room before we entered.
