No it's not gonna be fun. I am not going to respond to this. It's forum not a kindergarten.

Brian you're so iconic, never change. <3
Anyway gotta keep this kindergarten on topic boys. Here's an update on the themed wall from Phantafriends...

Pot, Kettle, Black comes to mind...

Moving on; from PhantaFriends.
Now that the lift has been fully assembled, a steel structure is being built around it to enclose it.
On the wall (EDIT: seen in the picture posted by Ethan above) formed by the large black steel towers beside Wuze Town - steel girders have been welded onto the front at regular intervals - presumably the start of Universal Rocks theming this facade.

Beside the other wall which Universal Rocks are working on the beginning of a small tower can be seen on the Wuze side.

ArissP posted a new picture on reddit:

Not much has changed except one piece of track that has been added right before the final breakrun.
In the back of the construction site you can see they assembled another part of the lifthill, and are working on the 'launch'.

The image is about a week old, just for reference.
You can see the two cranes installing the first element of the first launch, after the lift.

So, is there a pretzel loop? Please say yes.

I'm hoping there's the first half of a pretzel, however as it hasn't been built yet nobody can be sure.

How high do you guys think the walls are? like 25 meters?

 

[shawnoc]

They do look fairly tall, I love the fact the phantasia land is almost a bunch of surprises in boxes. Full immersion in each area with few to no climpses into the other areas.

I hope to get a glimp of the structure, this saturday. I try to make Some pictures.

According to PhantaFriends' Tobi the walls are approximately 20m tall.

The large yellow tower crane at the back of the site has been dismantled and now re-erected further forwards along the site.

Work to theme the sound barrier wall continues with the frame work for a second small round tower visible on the Fantasy area side.

Inbetween the towers there appears to be a window frame?

New metal beams were delivered this evening.

Hopefully now the crane is there, the rest of the track can be dropped in place?

 

[Dar]

Got to pour the concrete first

 

[Yoris Kerkhoff]

So how fast will they pour this time?

 

[MrRC]

Depends on the weather conditions

The sound barrier is being extended along the back of the Maus au Chocolat building now.

Tobi has posted a screenshot of his model depicting the progress. In bottom left you can see behind the Fantasy facing wall the steel structure that has been erected around the lifthill (to eventually enclose it) along the back of Maus. The new wall is on top of this.
Eventually it will all come together and blend to form various Rookburgh buildings and facades. Really intrigued to see how this insane jigsaw looks when done.

That wall along Maus will be visible from Kaiserplatz (the Berlin square) though so hopefully they manage to blend it together/theme it nicely so the view won't be ruined.

Then again it can hardly be worse than what it used to be... good riddance Race for Atlantis.
