Weathered theming at the extended queue for the Metrofloo to Battle at the Ministry.

View of Helios Grand Hotel is well-hidden by landscaping at the extended queue for Battle at the Ministry. However, there are gaps.

Remarkably, not all the available extended queue was used yesterday for Battle at the Ministry. Perhaps no chains were ever staged. Park surprised by the 5 hour queue.

Views of Helios Grand Hotel parking, Epic Universe expansion pads, and a lantern guests might see if the zig-zag walkway is used for the Metrofloo extended queue.

Some Spit Fyre Grill seating was recently removed near the Fyre Drill boat ride. Likely that with wind some of the ride's water shooter spray carried into this seating.
