@bioreconstruct Main slab on grade block outs will be for elevator/vertical transportation systems (both for track and for guests). 2 large blockouts appears to be for the track lifts and a smaller block in between them for guests

@bioreconstruct These are mockups required my imagineering to test colors/textures/products as well as architectural details and performance testing (water infiltration)

@bioreconstruct Circular embed plates for coaster track. Square embed plates for structure or show elements.

@10ryno @bioreconstruct The right circle is a trench shoring system used to prevent cave ins during underground excavations. I believe they used it to install site utilities and is not a bridge.

@DSNYNewscast All of the white misc. steel are the structural supports for catwalks (lighting/rigging/special effects ). Appears to be a single story attraction.

@DrewDisneyDude That’s awesome! Do you know if these metrics are adjusted for inflation?

@BlankSamuel @CritterClubHQ @ParkWizar1 @thecalibae @FrshBakedDisney No elevator pits. Definitely a flat dark ride system.

@CritterClubHQ They are currently in the process of deck inserts and sleeves. This include duct strap (what you are referring to) , blue bangers, sleeves, etc. This is typically a 1-2 week process prior to rebar and deck pour.

@LasVegasLocally @HereComesTrebil Definitely not an in place mockup. This is their final install. That’s a fully prefabbed and insulated glass system.

@avengerseticket @CritterClubHQ Temp stairs for access. Required by OSHA after a certain elevation for structures.

@CritterClubHQ Not seeing any major attachment points to steel/decking. My best bet is that this attraction will be immobile (similar to star tours) but will utilize technology seen with The Volume or like the last scene from test track 3.0 - Mini domes at each ride vehicle.

@dtoono5 @scottwalker88 I’m trying to find the cuts you are referring to. Just on first glance, this looks like a higher cost concept than previously. I may not be looking at it the same way though.

@scottwalker88 Cost standpoint, the new concept art appears to be a more costly approach. Extending hardscape/ landscape comes at a premium compared to the original concept art. I bet the geotec report came back with compaction concerns and the building had to move. Or outdoor queue is cheaper.
