A thought I had about the Railroad and Tron canopy. According to the concept art the train will go under the canopy. If the train is going to be running under the canopy, how quick till the inside of the canopy is gross from all the smoke that comes from the engine? Has Disney planned for this or is it an overlooked design flaw?
I wouldn't take the concept art has concrete, it's just a rendering of what it could look like. If it does go through the canopy, you better believe they will think it through.

Well it's been operating/testing for 3 years in the smog of Shanghai...

Didn't they upgrade the trains to run on natural gas?

They currently run on #2 biodiesel fuel, so essentially an oil-burning steam locomotive. You would still get a little residue from the smoke, but it wouldn't be as much as coal or some form of standard oil burner.

But like the photo above, painting the sections dark that the locos run under helps the look of the area.

Neat, but the Speedway still looks essentially unfixed.
I still think Disney is missing an easy layup retheming the Speedway to a Sugar Rush/Wreck it Ralph. The sections nearest fantasyland would be all bright and colorful candyland stuff while the areas near Tron would be all "glitched" and space-y. Imagine the fun they could have at night doing outdoor mapped projection there.

Out of budget. Due to your complaining we have decided to shutdown the speedway and replace it with...something else...

It's obviously the go to when they don't know what they should do with an area.

This is awful and horrendous. Never in my life have I ever seen something so terrible grace our screens. To have posted this unforgivable offense to this site, nay, the internet as a whole proves how far we as a civilization has fallen from God's grace...

You forgot the "Not To Scale" at the bottom of the picture!!!!!

How can we predict how yellow and obtrusive the DVC tower will be if we are not informed that it is not accurately depicted in this concept art!!!! I ask how can we live in a civilized world if you go about breaking all the rules!!!!!!! Also the new tower should be a centimeter to the left but I can forgive you for that! ;)

It seemed like every other train had two seats on the back that were normal upright seats for those too big to fit in the standard bike position.
It’s worth noting I’m a skinny person and of average height. It’s just the similar ride I rode absolutely crushed my thighs and I couldn’t enjoy the ride. I just wanted it to be over.
