King Kong Construction (November 7)

When did it become November? Time has been passing at an insane rate for me, but here is the current state of what Universal’s next big attraction looks like:

The painted mural in the behind the main facade looks awesome. Little details like this are why I love having Universal as my home park compared to what I was used to in New Jersey (I’m referring to you, Six Flags).

It makes sense to me since the part right before this little loop is wider then the path around the loop, meaning it’ll probably be split via chain-link queue rails.

Another piece of evidence that the overflow queue will head over to the left side of the construction site is this photo here. You can see the path split down the middle where the worker on the left is standing.

Nerd shot of the rockwork. One of the best things about blogging about this construction is finally editing the pictures because I always seem to see something I didn’t notice when I am at the park. To me, that looks like a torch coming out of the center of the rockwork element. This entry facade is going to be epic.
