OMG... top left... Look at all of them!
I think it's safe to say that we can now expect soft-openings by this weekend.
When will these construction workers ever learn that you can reach farther up if you just stand the ladders upright vs stacking them on their sides that way.

I gotta say, this land looks a lot better at ground level than it does in aerials
Maybe not the most exciting theme, but...

It really is starting to resemble the sort of amalgamation creations I made in my own childhood that others were forced to step over- though mine were mostly made of Lionel, Lincoln Logs, Lego, and the greatest forgotten building toy ever, the excitingly named Girder and Panel:

I think the low profile of the ride along with the props and "grass" this should make for a fairly unique and visually interesting ride. Still hoping Andy may still have made some excavations for trenches- that first dip does seem to go below ground level. Doesn't look like there will be on-board audio, but some external sounds seem likely (revving up for launch, character voices.) I'd love it if Andy was actually the only voice- think of the opening scene of the original Toy Story. Andy played all the parts by providing each character's dialogue with his own inflection. He could narrate the major events of the ride while adding his own vocal sound effects just like an imaginative kid at play.

You noticed that and not that Rex is horribly out of scale and that their attempts at hiding that through forced perspective and putting him up high only highlight how undersized he is because they used Jengas?
Didn’t you know? Apparently kids don’t know that some things are bigger than others.

I had Girder and Panel sets when I was a kid! I loved that toy.

I agree - and so do my boys...my youngest squealed "BIG BLOCKS!!!" And jumped up and down, lol!
The first time I read this, I thought you were saying that your boys look better at ground level than in aerials. I was trying to decide whether to take that as a compliment or an insult :happy:
