[NeonNinja]

Yes it is now a completly tinted and is dark in the tunnel anyone know whats going on?

I hope it's just maintenance... The absence of Progress City would break my heart.

Progress City? Gone?

Blasphemy, insufferable, if removed rather than refurbished.

Hopefully the model is just out for refurb and will be back soon...

I was hoping at least Progress City was safe from a GoTG overlay....

 

[Hakunamatata]

Project City has been gone it seems like forever.

Being cleaned up and restored.

It was there yesterday! If it is gone, today is the first day.

They cover the view anytime work is being done. There aren't many people allowed to work on the model and they have other projects to do, so work on it may start and stop.

While we're on the subject...
Can they please bring back the "Now approaching...Space Mountain" audio?
I know RCA or Fed Ex don't sponsor it anymore , but remake the audio without the sponsor name.

Well let's see if the stadium gets repaired. One side of seats has been on its side for over 2 years now.

I'm not going to make a lot of friends for this, but does anyone else feel like the model never really belonged up there? I mean, Tomorrowland never had the most cohesive themeing, but even going with what they gave you it never made sense for a big 1960s-era model of a planned city sitting above an actual city/plaza of some sort of sci-fi future.

I don't know where else they would put the thing in a theme park, and it's not as if the Peoplemover was full of other high-end show scenes (I guess there's that one lady getting a perm) but like the Grand Canyon and Primeval World scenes along the Disneyland Railroad, it makes less than zero sense in context.

Personally, I'm glad it was preserved. I don't think it always has to make sense with the dioramas, they provide a real sense of wonder that adds that extra punch of charm to the parks. I couldn't say the same for the perm lady though, lol.

This. It's a specialised job done by a core team and is very much a labour of love.

The model has only had one complete total refurb since 1975 in 2013.

the fact that most folks passing through have no idea what it is... Why it's not in EPCOT, on permanent display, in an exhibition befitting its place in history, is another question.

The narration explains what it is.

Phew....always happy to ride by and view it....does it belong there? Hmmm....it just has been there since I can remember and thus it "belongs" there......unlike Stitch.
