Yellow lines in this aerial photo are walking routes between Terra Luna, Stella Nova, Epic Universe front entrance, and Helios Grand Hotel. Caution: the Terra Luna access is for those guests only. Valid hotel key needed to open a gate. There is no other sidewalk to this hotel.
Fresh concrete seen in the last section of public sidewalk along Kirkman Rd. Poured the morning of the Helios Grand Hotel opening day. Walkway at the sign leads to the hotel entrance. Out of frame at right is the public sidewalk to Stella Nova.
