One more bump. I found the white legs that @MadTeacup mentioned. This doesn't work guys:

@wdwmagic, in case you want to do a TL update.


And crediting the person that mentioned it of course:

So, since this basically confirms that they’re going forward with this project on the cheapest route possible, what’ll happen to these leg supports?

Will they just paint them white too? If so, why did they just remove the matching structures in between them? In fact, why did they even greenlight this redo if all they were going to do was change the upper track supports and some signage while literally just slapping a white coat of paint everything else. It makes no sense and is just going to look like a half baked mess in the end.

@marni1971 Are they still going to make any changes/upgrades to the people mover scenes? Or did that get cut for white paint? hahaha.

I’ve no idea where this project is now going TBH

White paint. This is honestly what I anticipated for the bulk of the TL refresh. I was shocked to see a returned to form on creating classic signage but the majority of this overhaul is TERRIBLE! No placemaking, no set point in time, no singular focus or aesthetic. A continued hodgepodge. Money well spent. :Sigh:

Those legs really do look atrocious. Even painting the middle section of each blue would be better to give it a white/blue mix, but they should be completely redone. It's just going to look like a bizarre mishmash of disparate elements.

Was out there 10 days ago. The silver looks like cheap enamel spray paint. cringe worthy.

Silver can be such an issue if you don't go all-in and use a chrome or a brushed silver finish. A lot of silver paints look cheap and turn brown over time, Silver foil (works similar to gold leaf) would work if it's something that isn't going to be touched (but I would assume there's too much within reach of guests to use that, not to mention that the process is time consuming). There are one or two paints that are nice (One-Shot makes a decent silver), but they get pricey when you're talking covering large areas.

Would rather they go back to original supports. But if not the white looks better than dark grey. More sci-fi-ish. The Incredibles is a good comparison as someone mentioned.

I'm witholding all judgment until it's finished...I just wish I knew when that would be (I guess by the time TRON opens?)

Edit: Also, did they officially announce the '94 Tomorrowland refurb prior to all of the changes, or was it after they did most of it?

Same. Even though I'm not feeling well about this, I still have to wait till Tron opens to give my final opinion. Just like what I did with Riviera yesterday.

I saw some other site had a TL update. Well here's mine:

And some other shaved off details that were on all of the legs:

Say it with me ... time for the rocks to go.

They looked better in a contrasting color. I'm not a fan of the new paint job.

I was on the CoP today...

Enhance!

Stupid detail, that's all.
CoP was pulling really good crowds too. It was nice to see.
Also, above the scrim on the PM ramp:

Was John’s hand back on?

 

[trainplane3]

Was John’s hand back on?

Yep! However, he was still singing acapella in the first scene. I don't know what's taking them so long to fix the instrumental audio.

I wonder if they aren’t just sticking to one issue at a time. Get all the upper supports back to original and clean out the clutter. Then go back and continue to make changes. If a slightly simplified leg painted white is a shorter term fix while they work on more noticeable areas, I can live with that.
I also wonder if there is a plan to redo/update the facades more in the future and they might hold off on these until that point.
Just some thoughts....

On one hand, I really appreciate your optimism. On the other hand...

I fully expect as many surfaces to be painted white as possible. Then, when the ride opens, they will do extreme projection mapping all over Tomorrowland to make everything look like the world of TRON at night, complete with a rousing custom Daft Punk musical store. Hey, I can dream, can’t I?

Is that in the land that has other sympathetically themed, suitable and cohesive attractions where MILF and Buzz are and SGE was?

And a fixed SM?

Did a lil photoshop thing. Not a fan of the supports just being repainted so I wondered. What if those fin bits were gone?
And wala.

I think its a far better improvement on the current repaint
