The thing that super bugs me about Rat is how often and easily you see the non-matching and non-moving floor in front of the screens. I mean, Spider-man solved that problem the very first time out the gate nearly 20 years ago.

Not quite true. Some of the section of the building facing Diagon Alley, is part of the original structure (it’s the part of the loading platform section and part of pre-show scenes 1, and 2) just completely gutted and then they built the rest of the new show building onto that. I’m assuming for tax and filing fee purposes. IE: Renovation as opposed to complete new build.

But yes, a majority of the structure is brand new.
You are of course correct. I’d forgotten about that wall. Quite the 20k to Mermaid situation.

If I recall part of the north and east show building corner.
Looks like you're right...imagine that! Odd how they kept a "random" wall standing for a while like that.

OMG! Is that what is going on with the GotG coaster in Epcot? It's a "renovation" of UoE/EEA? Lol
You know, part of it may be using a renovation permit, since the corpse of UoE is being kept. The gravity building, however, is a separate building and its construction involved rerouting a canal or pond or something. It probably had to get a new permit. I'm sure that the answer is there if you feel like digging through the construction permit thread. I wouldn't be surprised if they got a special permit for "Destruction of 80's Kids' Memories." lol

The whole notion of building can be weird at times. Depending on construction type of the original building, the gravity building could be an expansion of the existing building. In other cases what looks like one building can be multiple legal buildings. One legal building can even be two separate buildings.

They write their own building codes. Reedy Creek Improvement District--YAY!!!!

I was finding the humor in that they let it lay to waste for such a long time while calling it a "renovation" in permitting.

If you submit a building permit and pay the fees, most places (townships, cities, municipalities, etc.) don't care if you ever build anything, they got paid. Some may require you to re-submit and to pay more fees to keep the permit active after an arbitrary period of time..

EDIT: Slow day at work. Found it! RCID Expired Permit Renewal
