This thread gets more exciting everytime I see it! I have to give props to the mural, that is so fantastic and a great touch to what will be a fantastic attraction.

Excited !!!! Hopefully it's not all just screens !

Wonder if they will do any extra landscaping - trees, etc ?

I think it will be a steamy jungle when they get done

Interesting look at Kong today. They have one door up and covered with a white sheet. For this size door you would think it would take a serious opener to operate it.

A single worker needed the door open so he grabbed it and pushed! Not hard! Amazing that it took so little effort to swing that door. No sure where they stashed the other door, on the previous picture of the doors being installed the yoke was on the back of the door so they could not have hung it that way and the crane is not here right now so maybe they laid it on the roof until they are ready to hang it.

The doors will be balanced so a push from one hand can move them, those hinges that were shown on the ground for a month have some serious engineering behind them.

I've never been to Universal but that looks awesome. The detail in the rock work looks amazing.

The word they used in the press show was "Massive" ! I think they were right. Can't wait to get inside.

Sorry I haven't posted in awhile, was moving to a new home and then got caught up in the holidays, but I visited recently and got some more pics and some video, below. See more on my blog. I also did a video of Universal Studios updates too!

Sorry the video and pics aren't all the best quality, it was super overcast when I took them. I like the addition of skulls and torches throughout the area, very nice touches.
