haha, they gotta get crackin!
but thats a massive crane... i knew it was big but that behemoth of a thing is huge

I don't understand how the face can go up with that scaffolding right in front

I wouldn't be surprised if the face ends up onstage for a day or two (tarped over, of course) before it goes up over night.

BTW, Abe, if you dont' want to junk up your photobucket you could always upload those types of images to your MI Gallery!

www.mouseinfo.com/gallery Then click UPLOAD.

Its actually already been cluttered since the construction of monsters inc in DCA, but ima upload here in the future! thanks dlfreak.

I'll be at the resort on saturday. expect pictures!

Did you notice in this picture that they have finished filling in the circle on Screamin' since my picture on Monday. Could these have been some of the movement we have been seeing? That still seems to be the crane we were talking of before, on the north side of the water area.

^ I wish it would take the Maliboomer away...

Here is another close up of the scaffolding. There are layers all around the wheel. But if you look closely at the outer edge in this shot, there is just one layer around the outer circle of sun beams. IF the face was in pieces, and it wasn't huge pieces, they could be fed onto the scaffolding to be attached. End of my total ignorance of structure building.... But at least another thought.

If you look at this picture from Darkbeer you will see even more scaffolding in the way.

I just can't see how they can crane the face in with all of that scaffold in the way. I imagine them putting up the face the way they took it down, in pieces.

That thing is HUGE! I was expecting it when I heard it was 375', but holy lord of the flies....that's a massive crane.

Supposedly the face will be brought up in pieces and placed in sections.

yeah that thing is big. They must be bringing stuff in from backstage and placing them directly in the bay.

Imagine how heavy that piece of equipment is. I am surprised they were able to bring it in on stage without damaging the concrete on the parade route.

Maybe someone that knows could tell us if the added weights on that crane are brought in separately then placed on the actual equipment

what is interesting to me is seeing how Mickey's Fun Wheel is a little bit taller than California Screamin'. I've never noticed that before or maybe I just didn't think about it.

That crane just scares me. I hope that crane roundhouse kicks the maliboomer into space lol.
