Here's video and photos on YouTube of the second last loop piece being placed, at about 5:30pm tonight:

This was Wednesday Jan 14.

This is probably a rare view. Bright lighting of the structure in this area probably won't last much longer.

Cool trip! Quick note from a local guy ... Universal offers daily backstage tours of HHN with the lights on. Cameras welcome! If you are coming to Orlando for IAAPA next week, there is one last RIP tour, sign up in the IAAPA site. This year there were tours at 11 an 2, $42 plus park admission (by ticket or annual pass). The tour starts in the VIP room over the turnstiles, and for the past two years there has been a "museum" with blueprints and other items used to create or promote the event. This year's museum was in the Brown Derby hat shop, last year's museum was in what is now the Blue Man Group show lobby. This year there was also a special Wednesday tour where you toured ALL 8 of the houses with a Universal designer. The regular RIP tour only toured the soundstage row, of Dead Silence, Freddy, and the Christmas version of the ongoing Psychotherapy theme. Attached is a photo of the blueprints for the Freddy house (right) and Psychotherapy house (left). If you're a video junkie, I made teaser videos for local friends. They are at http://snagson1.com/hh2007flavor/ (note link at bottom for a before sunset version -- the go-go dancers were there only the first weekend) and Busch Africa: http://snagson1.com/BuschHowlOScream/ (This one has some night footage of Sheikra) One of many blueprints on display in the RIP tour museum. Freddy house is upper right, seen in Robb's tour video.
