Can we not with the giant flower-power flowers.

And I feel like people are going to assume that London Rocks is related to what's behind the walls, rather than the Globe.

Just a quick note about Union Snax, when I arrived at 10AM there was no roof at all. Work seems to be progressing extremely quickly.

 

[MrLaptop]

Well, we can only hope it will look okay.

 

[Party Rocker]

Roof seems like it will be finished by the time the park closes today.

 

[Jrbgwfan06]

Well, now that the park will be open weekly, we'll be able to keep track of its progress. I wouldn't be surprised if it's finished within the next 2 weeks.

 

[Party Rocker]

I was able to get pictures throughout the day. Keep in mind these were all taken in the same day. You could hear work progess all day.

Starting first thing in the morning,



Just before 3PM,





Closer to park closing,











Work is obviously progressing extremely quickly with them working throughout the day.

They took out a portion of the stone wall in the back.

 

[MrLaptop]

Oh no, I can't see the other buildings now. It blocks the view.

 

[Smatt]

Just FYI, I was there today and the sides of the new Coke building look to have the boards on the fascia that have the same design as the rest of the area, I'm assuming the building will be painted the same as well.

 

[Mushroom]

It'll probably be painted purple.

 

[Jrbgwfan06]

I'm willing to bet they paint the boards that are usually brown on all the other buildings, red, and then make the excuse "Well, it is a Coca-cola market." I'm willing to bet they paint the boards red, kind've like the construction fence. And if they don't then I'll be happy, but they probably aren't going to.

 

[Party Rocker]

Beep beep . . . news is coming later tonight about the mysterious bus.

 

[Griffon]

the bus is a merchandise kiosk

---

and its not a bus…it just looks like a bus

 

[Griffon]

also the coke market will not be red…it will look like all of the other buildings in england… aside from some union jacks….

 

[b.mac]

At least it isn't a literal double decker bus, and how many union jacks are we talking here?

 

[MrLaptop]

I dunno, but if Scott is going to make the building look like the other buildings, then hopefully not bunches of them. Granted, I don't mind union jacks to be honest. As long as they sorta look like the other flags, they'll just make the place look potentially more English. When I first went there, I at first honestly thought the place looked like Germany until I actually researched medieval English Architecture. Granted, now that I did, it looked fabulous, but I think some less knowledgeable people will appreciate the obvious English touch.
I'm aware I'm rambling on and on about a simple union jack, but what can I say, I feel like going on and on.

 

[Jrbgwfan06]

Where's this "bus" going?

 

[Jrbgwfan06]

Btw, I had no idea what a Union Jack was until BGW opened the store, if you asked me before then, telling you that it was English-related would probably be my last response.

 

[Party Rocker]

So do you guys know that quaint little cart stand the sells merchandise across from Big Ben by the Globe? Yes, that is getting replaced with the "bus".

Also, when Union Snax opens, the snack stand attached to the Globe by Adventure Photo will close and be transformed into a ticket booth for guests to pick up tickets for London Rocks!

I didn't know that the exact nickname of the British flag, but I did now it had a nickname. If you look at the flag you can clearly relate it to Great Britain. Then again, people assume Great Britain and England are the same thing and their flags are the same, which isn't exactly true. England is a part of Great Britain. Great Britain mostly refers to the major land mass and whatnot.
