An I-4 message board says that the new Turkey Lake Rd ramp opens tomorrow May 2. Eliminates the congested left turn of Sand Lake Rd WB to Turkey Lake SB. Arrows in this aerial photo (today) show how Sand Lake Rd WB and I-4 WB will share the new ramp.

Longtime Islands of Adventure fans remember when this tree was near the Lagoon. It's special: another tree grew around a palm tree. The tree-pair was moved here when VelociCoaster construction started. It's recovering from the harsh February freeze. High branches still brown.

Current themed paint at Hogwarts Castle. Towers in progress, will soon look familiar. Like above rocks at right. Roof also with paint in progress. 2nd photo has device used to rappel on roof. Crow on roof in first photo provides actual scale of this forced perspective.

A Crepe Myrtle starting to bloom in Seuss Landing. Notice how this tree has natural branching. These trees do not need heavy pruning ... the so-called "Crepe Murder".

Current view of Hogwarts Castle from Hogsmeade. Scrims being removed from the main tower. Another section complete. The front area at left will soon be in the theming/repainting process being done in the open at the right two towers. Other repainting is behind scrims.

Repainting continues on these two towers of Hogwarts Castle. Overall stone colors are being washed over the painted individual variations in stone. It's starting to look familiar. Most repainting done behind scrims. This is a rare opportunity to see the theming process.
