August 2015? It's only going to take them 3-4 months to build that thing? Guess dragged-out anticipation isn't much of a factor here as it is with attractions. Granted the comparison is apples to oranges, but still.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking the same thing. It's takes 18 months to build a parking garage, but a state of the art laboratory goes up in a few months. Something doesn't add up there...on either one. Maybe it's a typo.
ReplyDeleteWell as it will be away from guests areas it won't be themed. A warehouse could easily be build in a month and maybe 2 months to do the inside.
