A berm that looks like a hill inside the park and hides the backstage areas, I'm liking the idea. Seeing a big hill may help take you out of the reality of being in FL :rofl:

Great pictures - thanks for sharing.

Does anyone know how large the gringott's building is in comparison to other Uni buildings (MIB/Mummy/FJ, etc) - it terms of cubic feet or however building size is measured? It looks significantly larger than any other ride building at Uni.

Thanks for the pics Frank and Felipe.

So, the keystone brickwork has been either applied or sculpted in place. It also implies that the brick will be painted. I am stymied why they are going this route. (others in the biz are also stymied, I assure you)



It implies to me that they are going to pile the earth very high to the right of grimmauld and beyond towards the old fear factor theater. We have been wondering why they would leave a huge chunk of Diagon exposed in this area. Perhaps it will not be exposed after all. It implies a "mean" and very steep berm if so. Fully planted in, guests won't be able to see s-h-i-t-a-k-e mushrooms.

PS: Teebin LOVES theme park berms...

3 key places where greenery will have a direct impact on blocking things from view.

1. South Station elevation change
2. Hogsmeade / Southstation entry area
3. Goblin Corner....

^ what? There isn't a goblin corner in the books, is there? Sounds more like a Magic Neep to me, and who rang that bell a few years ago...

If I'm not mistaken, the goblin corner is the area between Gringotts and Grimmauld, behind where the berm would go. I think this is where the rumored goblin show would take place.

Sorry for the quality, but a few pics from earlier this evening.

The brickwork is coming along nicely:

The retaining wall is on the left in this pic. I'm wondering how tall the berm might be:

I don't know how to make the pics bigger, I uploaded them to an album here. If anyone wants to tell me how, I'll try to fix them.

Welcome aboard, Talking Head! And thanks for the pics! :thumbs:

I recommend you upload pics to Photobucket or Flickr, or some other online host site and then post them here. That way they will show up bigger :thumbs:

Try to increase your browser's zoom. It's what I did to look at them at almost full screen, since WESH doesn't offer a bigger view.

The Grimmauld brickwork appears to be applied panels, and not sculpted in place. Phew... sort of.
