The tunnel/bridge that will be one of three entrances to Star Wars Land from Critter Country is formed and concrete is being poured.
The rest of the new berm and waterfall are in various stages of getting rockwork and paint detailing.
Out in the main construction area, there’s a ton of activity. The Millennium Falcon attraction is moving along, but not quite vertical enough to get a good look.

First up, way outside the gate of Volcano Bay, we see signage and the new toll plazas guest will use to park for Volcano Bay. These are an extension of the current plaza but a special roadway will park you on the lower garage levels and be closer to the shuttle.

Finally, we notice that the work going on around the elevator for the water coaster seems to be the biggest tiki we’ve seen yet!

After asking for a 20-year payment-in-lieu-of-taxes plan, the developer of the proposed Legoland New York theme park offered a host community fee to be paid to the Town of Goshen over 30 years. Merlin estimates the host fee will generate about $1.3 million a year for the town, totalling $52 million in 30 years.But opponents are not sold on the idea.The Goshen Town Board discussed the host fee at its last meeting and has not yet set a date for voting on the agreement.
