for FOF the building was the first thing built, the inside of the building has a built in crane network which was used to construct the ride indoors and now is used for maintenance and Evac if necessary. I think RnRC at Disney was built then enclosed though.

not sure how Space Mountain was built, but when it was torn down and rebuilt (CA) it was done entirely indoors.
And that park is South Park, if anyone gets really really bored in the off season you can get pretty decent pics from there of the park, To get there you take grand to Milwaukee then turn right on South Rd.
Was funny, back during Raging Bull construction, park security would pop up by the fence and harass picture takers in South Park

Well, generally, the site plan tells them where their boundaries are. If i get a chance (since i'll be driving others), i'll do my best to get pics. Hopefully people in the immediate area (not two hours away like me) can get pics as the weather gets nicer.

I have auditions tomorrow and i'm gonna take pics. I'll be by Dejavu (grand music hall for auditions) so that should be easy to get pics of. And i'll see if theyll let me go by TDK but i highly doubt it. I"LL DO MY BEST TO GET PICS!!!!!!!!!

Well, i checked out that park to a certain extent. The view isn't really great and i couldn't walk close enough to get any pictures. However, i can definitely tell you that there is no vertical development on the scale of SFGAdv's version. However, it looked like the area was cleared and there was a black tarp over the site (meaning the concrete was probably laid for the slab). Sorry i came up short guys, and that park is deceivingly small and hard to get to with all the snow on the ground right now.

I look forward to any pics you get!
This is where I would usually put stuff. Can't think of anything right now... =/
why a polish site has the best pics so far of Dark Knight construction really raises alot of questions for me
Of course the best coverage of Canada Wonderlands new coaster along with some other new US rides has been on Dutch and German sites. Not sure why that is though
