TTA Refurbishment on schedule?

[NeedMoreMickey]

My niece always loved the "Paging Mr. Morrow, Mr. Tom Morrow" because we were in Tomorrow land.

(if you throw tomatoes, do it gingerly) When are these refurbs supposed to be completed?

 

[Victor Kelly]

I dont get it, I mean I know its a reference to the previous narration but what does it have to do with anything.

Play on words: Tommorowland------Tom Morrow

well yes I knew all of that but why was it posted on the disney world blog today according to the poster

I actually like the red. Hopefully the entire project turns out nicely. It's nice to not have a "really, they're doing THAT" reaction.

Nope... It would have looped back to the TTC next to a diverted World Drive.

Martin, can you clarify this for me? You're saying that this monorail line, which would have started at the TTC and passed through World Showcase when it would have been built next door, would have just have looped around and back to the TTC? What was its purpose, then?

Yep.

Although the actual site plan had moved further south when it was actually properly designed. It was almost as far south as EPCOT Center was built.

This is interesting to see. The one photo you can see they painted the top wall of the lunching pad red:

I wonder if all of the green will be red.. that would look pretty cool

So far I like it

 

[PrincessNelly_NJ]

I actually like it too. I was skeptical at first but it looks good.

I think some more color on Tomorrowland will be a good thing. I also think it could use some more lights, to really build on a type of spaceport idea. Some areas of the parks take on such a different personality at night. I think more colors and additional lights would really make Tomorrowland standout at night.

 

[Victor Kelly]

More lights? I agree.

 

[doctornick]

Aren't there colored lights on the TTA that aren't used?

Update: You can see more and more of the new paint each day. Today, if you stand near the Metrophone booth, you can see more of the hideous color scheme. The bad news is that it will get much worse. Also, the Peoplemover refurbishment has been extended. It will not be complete on time.

I like the new paint

 

[Magicart87]

I wonder if the color-scheme being used here and throughout Tommorowland (retro-futurism colors of 1950) is directly linked to the 2015 Tommorowland movie.

I like that "Hot Tin Roof" red-orange color, it plays well against the metallics and sky blues. In regards to color-theory it's a near perfect contrasting color. It's a very bold color choice. It sure beats the blandness of Yesterdayland circa 1999.

Now lets paint all around the Space Mountain.. it looked bad in May. Lots of black mold and dirty surfaces. And while they are at it, could we get cool color changing LED's on SM?

Ugh, Space Mountain has needed a serious pressure wash and paint job for YEARS now. It looks really bad up close.

As for the lights...They used to do color changing lights on it during MNSSHP but not sure if they still do. Here's a gif way back from MNSSHP 2005 I made from still shots of the colors:

But that shows it obviously can and has been done in the past.

Lights were temporary. There's ugly metal support columns at the base of each indent for Entertainment to rig lights for events.

I wish they went with the permanent version that Disneyland has.

That would cost peanuts.

But they still won't do it despite it being asked for year after year.

That looks *awesome*.

I really like the red and orange for this part of the park... it's a nice balance.

More trees, please.

If they can light the castle the way they do, then SM can be done as well.
