It seems that the white and grey will be view with Space Mountain in front of it. So, it won't have as sharp a contrast between the two buildings.
The blue will be seen from the other side and that's just go-away-blue to make the box blend with the sky.
The vertical stripes help hide the box from looking fat.

The blue is actually a dark grey in person, it only looks blue on camera for some reason.
It’s the future. More timeless. More relevant.
They took the term Grid too seriously. Or they got the paint at cheaper prices this way.

You know what's funny?
God bless same day shipping...
Perhaps this is a new camouflage pattern to cover a more diverse set of Central Florida sky conditions instead of just going with the traditional 'go away blue' shade. See, it's already working... that's not a show building you see there, just a big square cloud!
If people will go willingly into an overcrowded park at $150 per day, they'll go if there's a big blue box behind a ride.
Yeah, but are they white, gray and blue, or are they blue and gold?
...more family-friendly.
The Navy tried that back in WWII. Helps break up the profile of a really large building -- or destroyer -- and makes it look less imposing.
Indeed. Doesn’t quite work though.
Well, that's because in both photos, the big thing is the central focus. Step back a few hundred meters and neither will look quite as big or distinguishable as they do closer up.
Yep. That’s the idea.
We're being attacked by Hottentots on zebras! Cheeky devils! Give 'em what for! Empty the shot lockers!

Disappointing, but hardly surprising that Disney would disrupt the view of MK from the main approach direction and from the railroad with a box shaped show building ... and then make a lame attempt to cover it up with stripes.
"Stop complaining, we made the new coaster building look all bland for you."
They are doing the exact same thing with the approach to Epcot and the view from the monorail.
It's similar to Jurassic Park River adventure except that attraction is in the farthest corner of the park, and if storytelling matters, the building has a reason to exist.
If storytelling mattered to Disney, the Tron Box would look like a PC cabinet in the movie ... whatever that looked like. I mean they go inside a computer to ride light cycles, does the computer have a case or cabinet?
In Despicable Me it's a gag when the stolen pyramid is disguised with "go away blue" and puffy clouds. Does Disney get the joke?
Call me a nitpicker ... but I didn't invent the concept of theme parks with integrated, thematic skylines and sightlines both inside and outside the parks ... Disney did.
