Update: New bridge has gone vertical.

And life's a little weird,
And when we find someone whose
Weirdness is compatible with ours,
We join up with them and fall in
Mutual weirdness and call it Love.”

It's Adventureland mindflipper! Of course it means you will have to be able to scale the now vertical bridge in order to enter :roll: ;) :lol:
Just kidding, I'm guessing there is actually some visible framework happening with the bridge finally...

It means that besides the portion of the bridge that you walk on to get to Adventureland, there is now wood work above the bridge that will hold the Adventureland sign (I hope).

Can you tell if the new bridge has the same old "humped" walkway, or is it finally a flat walkway?

Nope. Still behind walls and fabric so you can't see what it looks like.

Only on a Disney forum would there be four pages of discussion about a bridge. :)
No one's gloomy or complaining while the flatware's entertaining.

4 pages is too small for discussion about a bridge horizons!

I am guessing that vertical construction means that all the major work rebuilding the span acorss the water is pretty much complete. We might be able to get an idea of what it will look like from seeing how it looks above the walls.

Thanks for linking to the picture. Definitely like how they have removed the slope to the bridge. Vertical construction looks pretty similar to that of the old bridge.
