Exciting stuff! Initially I wasn't sure how I would feel about the Casey Jr area, but now that it's all coming together, I can't wait to see it! I always loved that little train. He could kick Thomas's ______ any day. :)

The Casey Jr props are very cool. Looks like the things on the ground wrapped in plastic in the second picture are animals for the train.

I also noticed in the last picture, and have seen this in other construction pictures recently, that they are changing the external finish, or maybe just the color, of part of the Dumbo queue tent. The whole thing was yellow at one point, now it's white which is not likely the final color.

Good catch. One of those kind of looks like a camel from what I can tell, and maybe a few giraffe heads? Also you can see the plastic hoses in the bottom that means these things will probably shoot / spray water, which given that this is a splashpad, seems logical.

Any idea on what the actual scale of the feature will be/is? The Donald Duck boat was so big, this seems a lot smaller. Not a complaint, it just doesn't look as tall as I thought it would be.

Thanks for the pics!

That isn't the second side of the castle wall, though. It's the end of the wall on the left side. It jets in, and then jets out again (kinda zig zags). The wall was only half there before. What you are seeing now is the complete wall.

From the most recent overhead shots, they haven't started on the structure of the second wall (right side) yet.

Here's a pic of the second side of the castle wall. It's just to the right of the big crane. http://twitter.com/PaulChadkin/status/193359635045023749/photo/1


Yep. That's the right side going vertical.
The previous pics didn't show that side.

Nice to them them beginning to crank up the speed on the walls (since they'll need to be done before any of the FLE can open presumably). I'm hoping the speed that the walls are going up now means we may not be more than a few months away from at least part of the FLE opening.
