Thanks!

Here's the main boulevard through Enterprise. The China Warehouse is in the foreground, then the Wright Bicycle company, followed by an unnamed building, and the Arts & Industries building is in the background;

Behind us will be Victory Fields, the WWII area, which will be created on a different bench, and to our left is Lake America, where several buildings will be placed.

More to come...

Here is just a quick look at the rear of the Arts and Industries building. It will be completely enclosed after the rotunda and final galleries are complete;

Coming over the weekend will be the highlight of Enterprise, the Industrial Revolution area of Disney's America, Ellis Island!

This magnificent facade has been constructed by our resident pundit, Wagi, and graciously donated to this project. The craftsmanship and beauty of this structure are just jaw dropping! Stay tuned for sneak peeks of this magnificent structure! And Wagi, thank you again for helping out a buddy!

As promised, here is a sneak peak at the facade of Ellis Island;

That's the China Warehouse in the distance, to give you a sense of size. And here's a quick shot of the interior;

Posted Image

Opened on January 1, 1892, Ellis Island became the nation's premier federal immigration station. Located in New York harbor, and in operation until 1954, the station processed over 12 million immigrant steamship passengers. Row upon row of benches lined the cavernous hall, where immigrants waited for their turn to be processed and be allowed admittance to the United States. Today, over 40 percent of America's population can trace their ancestry through Ellis Island.

Disney's Imagineers have built a faithful reproduction of Ellis Island under the skillful (and modest, and possibly hungry), design and building skills of Mr. W.A. Bigbear. His contributions have proved invaluable, and the Citytrader Design Corporation has taken on the task of fitting the interior.

The attraction will house "The Immigrant Experience", a 3D adventure following one families emigration from the "Old Country" to the "Land of Opportunity", America.

This magnificent structure is one of the cornerstones of Disney's America.

Jeez, I almost forgot about this park! :doh:

It looks really awesome. You've really gotten the whole colonial feel down, and the interiors look really detailed. I guess I can't appreciate this as much because I don't play RCT3 all that often...:ermm:

Great job, keep it up!

Ellis Island is quite busy during most of the day;

Posted Image

Guests really enjoy the immigration displays spread throughout the building;

The steamboat on it's test run past the complex with the inspector aboard;

Posted Image

Although the interior is unfinished, guests will need to enter the great hall, proceed upstairs, and through an elevated breezeway in order to enter the steamship intake building. Here's a shot of the boat approaching the dock;
