Demolition at front of the former Eighth Voyage of Sindbad Stunt Show. As seen in aerial photos and in-park.
Crane staged in the Fast & Furious Hollywood Drift construction site near CityWalk. Seems like track and supports will soon be raised here.
Siding almost complete on the Fast & Furious Hollywood Drift maintenance building. On the side facing the attraction entrance.
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.
Osprey family on a Universal billboard facing I-4. Mama, two chicks, and a scare owl.
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".
Starbucks in Port of Entry in Islands of Adventure may have had a technical rehearsal (soft opening) today. Was in a several week refurbishment.
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.
Scaffolding is partially removed from the main tower of Hogwarts Castle. Another section complete in the repainting/refurbishment.
Additional varying base colors applied to individual stones in an area of the Hogwarts Castle refurbishment. When overall (translucent) stone color and weathering is applied these towers will have their familiar look again.
