That's the product of cost-cutting due to DLP. No reason why they couldn't make the land like this. If they only could add TRON... oh wait.

Huge missed opportunity by not integrating TRON with an awesome refreshed land. Shanghai's is breathtaking. Space Mountain probably won't look half bad next to it; it's the rest of the land that'll be jarring.
I'm actually a huge fan of TL's entrance over in MK; I think it's unique and gives it character, but the rest of the land is ugly, with what feels like a flat parking lot honestly with a berm on one side.

Can't buy food and junk in the shops if you're sitting on benches in the courtyard...

Of course they could.

But we're specifically talking about repainting existing structures

Walls are down on the speedway - BlogMickey says the CMs are hoping to open it back up this weekend.

Is converting the speedway to Tron theme eventually still on the agenda as a possible item...or is that completely off the table now?

With how some of the metal stuff in TL should be coming down but isn't...

So, the exterior of Auntie Gravity's and Star Traders gets livened up with a bit of orange and blue paint, but the Speedway queue gets painted a dull white color with the little bit of theming it had removed.

I like it. Looks clean.

The main point of this Tomorrowland redo is to remove the '94 elements

I agree. Looking at before and after photos you can especially see the difference, which is very positive imo.

Looks better than before, but besides the trees between CoP & Space, The Speedway's exterior needs an overhaul more than anything.

Has there ever been a walkaround "Tom Morrow" character? Wouldn't that be something... maybe as a mayor or Tomorrowland city official? What ever happened to that lame robot character? Tommorrowland needs more walkaround guest interactive characters. I miss PUSH!

I miss PUSH, too! PUSH is a great example of something small that many of us loved. His "cousin" the recycling can (I don't know what his official "name" was) at Rafiki's was fun as well.

Does anyone know why we lost PUSH? How much could it have cost to operate? I hope someone did not vandalize the machinery.

Summary: contract expired and wasn't renewed.

I miss Push too. Too bad that "robot" on a "hoverboard" didn't work out. While it wasn't as good as Push, it added a small amount of streetmosphere to TL

You can usually find @PUSH in one of the chit chat threads.

Because I'm a master at hide and seek.
