The Tron building doesn't need to be hidden, because it doesn't represent anything imaginary in the way that the Fantasyworld rides do.
If the Tron building is anything, it's a computer box.
No one has given me a satisfactory answer as to what they believe that box should be themed as.

I actually wrote a really long post a day ago in this thread explaining how the Fantasyland show buildings are part of their rides' design conceit. But even still, Disney went to the trouble of obscuring the large, uninteresting walls those buildings sometimes created because they knew the area would be improved by it.

As I've said about 6,000 times, and as others have echoed, the TRON showbuilding should either be themed OR hidden. If the people on Disney's payroll truly can't come up with any way to justify the Big-Box-Store show building that fits within the theme of the ride, then they should either hide it from guest's view, design a different ride that doesn't require a big, "unthemeable" box, or consider other employment. This isn't an impossible assignment. And for a $300+ Million Dollar ride it shouldn't even be a challenging one.

There are so many potential options here to keep a building like this from towering over the Magic Kingdom, and they chose none of them.

I've kept track of what 'insiders' have said on several sites and have wound up here as the only place that has genuine insiders.

Other sites think front line CMs are adequate sources. Or, they have a few sources whose info is hit and miss. And when it's pointed out they're wrong, they block you.

That's why you'll see some randos showing up here with 'scoops' trying to get the cachet of being on this site with the adulation of being an insider. Many have tried and flamed out.
  • Real insiders will distinguish between blue-sky wish lists from those projects that actually got their budget approved and a green light.
  • Real insiders' contacts are not a one-time late-night DM, but people they regularly talk to and can let us know if a project is killed and why (rather than keep on promising projects that are long dead).
  • Real insiders are people who work at Disney at a managerial level or with vendors who regularly work with Disney (and Universal).
  • Real insiders don't create their own threads to laud their insideriness.
  • Real insider don't tell a niche audience what they want to hear to goose the numbers on their social media.
  • Real insiders don't have to keep pumping out rumors to meet the deadlines of their web sites for their own income, and thus, throw out every spurious rumor they hear.
The sites that are blocked here sometimes do get a scoop, but are wrong enough and often enough, and are intensely defensive when they are wrong, that they're not worth bothering with.

And if you don't like the moderation of this forum or its lack of what you consider good inside information, you'd probably be happier elsewhere.

no offense to anyone as I've been here for years to. The insiders here are wrong quite a bit as well. They just don't come out and blatantly say it like the other sites do.

It doesn’t help that Disney vacillates wildly on projects, frequently misses deadlines, and leaks absurd rumors to try to catch leakers. Thankfully, the regulars here understand all this and further understand that anything shared is just meant to be interesting (since we are all interested in this) but that no one should plan vacations based upon that information.

Plan a vacation based upon dates announced on the Disney Parks Blog. Anything else is just a rumor.

I think there’s far too much obsession with keeping track of how often a person is correct. This is all meant to be fun. Nothing more. If someone gets blocked, I imagine it is because they are nasty and unscrupulous. I don’t really care if an otherwise kind person gets a bad scoop. Happens to everyone. Just be nice.

No offense, but I've been keeping track of them for years and they're wrong very few times. You need to keep up when they report that Disney changed their plans. That doesn't make their initial 'scoop' wrong.

Wow. That does look cool. I can't wait to try it out.

Yes...the box needs to be dealt with, but it's not terrible. Just add an ENCOM logo and make it look somewhat like a PC tower.
