News Tomorrowland love

I think the Tomorrowland light and power should be the color palette they use. Maybe plus the exterior a bit (overall shape fits well).

Not necessarily if they demolish that blight so people can actually access the E-ticket they’re building.

Tomorrowland no longer needs a Light and Power plant since the nearby Laugh Floor collects tons of energy, apparently.

But where will they sell souvenirs!!! I actually like the building and think it could tie everything together, but everyone has different opinions on architecture I can see your point on sight lings though.

Sight lines aren't my issue here. It's that the narrow walkway between the old arcade and the Speedway is too narrow to get to TRON. It'll be an awful bottleneck at park open and it baffles my mind that they aren't redesigning it while they fix ~50-year old bottlenecks elsewhere in the park. Maybe they are assuming there won't be strollers but enough folks have no problem putting their 9-year olds in a stroller.

On the Peoplemover, wasn't there a blacked out wall all the way around space mountain? Because I can see a good deal of the ride. I seem to remember only being able to look up to see stars because it was blacked out in front of me in the past.

There's only a blacked-out wall where the load ceiling is, as it's the roof of the load area. If I recall correctly, enclosed it to reduce light spill on the ride. I actually remember going on the Peoplemover and looking down to see people boarding the ride.

Good to know.
Also, I like the gradient here:

I get the reasons for enclosing the loading area, and the replacement dome projection above the switchbacks isn't half bad, but there's no substitute for the original open roof design. There was such a sense of occasion and anticipation looking up from the load area and seeing the TTA gliding past, the shooting stars streaking across, and the other rockets zipping through the darkness.

Which reminds me - removing the glow-in-the-dark stripes from the rockets was a huge mistake and the ride suffers for it.

It'd be nice if Disney would spend a few pennies to give SM the proper refurb it deserved 10 years ago, and it'd be nice if they'd bring some of these elements back while they're at it.

Honestly, if the rest of the building was white like this, I wouldn’t mind these fins. They give me Space Mountain vibes.

I just want spires and the metal crap on the TTA gone.

...The current MILF building looks nice with it's blues, purples, and whites that follow the lines of building....

Photo update as of Friday, July 19, 2019. Here's what's left after the gateway to Tomorrowland was removed. Two large gray boxes.

Already an improvement.

The vaunted 'shade' guests are so desperately looking for.

They're still lit up at night, so they gain a bit of color which is very nice.

No... load used to be visible as well as the ride.

The blacked-out wall encloses the 2009 load ceiling projections.

I miss that. Why did they get rid of it?

 

[WDWTank]

Did those fins used to move?

Hadn't really noticed this before, but now it looks like the fins are there just to hide those ventilators right behind them...
