Fire in the Hole (SDC)

 


The queue line bars have been delivered

Really liking the details on the facade

A look at the awning over the queue area

I have a feeling that this area is going to be full most of the season

Here is a look at the entry area to the new section from what was called Firemans Landing.  There will obviously a train crossing gate here

The Swings have been moved to their new location

This area will all receive new pavers

The Swings are starting to come together

Today we are going to build another Lego Disney model - this time the Haunted Mansion

Here's the back of the box.  You'll notice that this one is modeled after the Disneyland version

Getting the bags all sorted

They have an exclusive caretaker minifigure that comes with this set

Getting the base ready

Starting to go vertical
