A great quality video that mostly shows what has already been shared but is worth watching because there’s so much detail

Looks like a couple of cranes have gone up at the Donkey Kong area unless they were already used for phase one and just being stored there...



Also this is random but an executive-type person was spotted at Universal Studios Japan today with a Super Nintendo World-specific bag - this shows of course the magnitude of the upcoming area similar to that of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter:

First video has best view of Thwomp moving plus the cloud platforms are moving this time and the third video seems to show the area testing night lighting during the day

In this Twitter video you can see a POW block with a Brick block on either side moving back and forth for the first time (plus a Thwomp's eyes glowing): https://twitter.com/ayato0222usj/status/1279391172436213761

And then in this YouTube video you can see an up close view of the area but this time at night:

A couple of Twitter videos showing a Thwomp in action: https://twitter.com/usj_ruilove/status/1278913773223337984 and https://twitter.com/chizuoo/status/1278886515544748032
