I abolutely love the new color scheme and type treatment.
I just don't get the green border at the bottom

What's the problem with the green bottom? Do you just not like the color green?

 

[CanadianGordon]

I love this. Love the idea of adding lights to the exterior!

I'm not 100% into that green either, but it may just be that particular hue, or maybe the it's too close in value to the blue. I still think it looks great, though! The paint job is altogether delightful.

I don't think it goes well with the rest of the color scheme.
Especially since Tomorrowland has been getting a reds / oranges theme added to its previous blues.

I agree it think it looks great. It is bright, clean, sharp and long overdue.

Photo update as of Friday, July 8. As posted earlier, the scaffolding has been removed and all exterior painting appears to be completed with the exception of one "Carousel of Progress" sign in one section. Each section of the lower level will have its own "Carousel of Progress" sign so that one sign is always visible as the theatre rotates.

Looks really nice! Hopefully the gear sign is up next for replacement.

Looks good!

And.... work on the sign begins....

 

[Horizons78]

This is bloody brilliant:

1. Beautiful New Paint
2. World's Fair Signage
3. Full "Walt Disney" Name Employed

While I feel like I've been swallowed up in a Twilight Zone episode, I ask you: What's not to like?!

 

[cjkeating]

I love it!

I think the question I have like many others is how did this get approved to happen? Out of all the things that could see work this must have been so low yet it has been done.

 

[KikoKea]

Looks great and I love the colors and graphics! Cannot wait to see it.

Don't forget the interior of CoP.

Inside was a disaster today. Theater stopped turning and we sat through each segment twice. First half of the show had no audio. Complete silence. It was creepy and hilarious to watch people's reactions. I love this attraction. And I agree the exterior is fantastic, but please oh please fix the interior. It was a joke today

This is caused by guests exiting the attraction in the middle of the show.

 

[Goofyernmost]

The problem is that we don't know what caused the problem. It might very will have been someone trying to leave the show causing the whole timing and function to get out of sync. However, if you have made that circle as many times as that theater has in the past 52 years, you might stop once in a while too.
