if they get rid of space mountain, there will be riots, and it would be 10 times worse than when mr toad was going to get shut down. when those riots happen, i'll probably be in one of them !

The Shanghai Tron had carts for all your big stuff, then on each cycle is a "glove box" that holds glasses, phones etc.

I can confirm this..

Shanghai does have a lot of lockers outside and people use them in Shanghai. Also, they’re not free.

Wait. I missed something. Are they changing the theming of the land?

Different futuristic theme: Less steam punk, more retro curves and spires.

They‘ve been incrementally changing some signage and painting things weird colors. People generally like the new signage for Tomorrowland and the Carousel of Progress, but the metallic purple rocks, warm color PeopleMover area, mismatching Star Traders area, and this pictured below, are also things that exist.

wasn't steampunk to begin with

 

[JEANYLASER]

I'm bit confused what is steampunk

 

[Giss Neric]

I think Tron will still open in time for the 50th next year considering how swift their progress was even before the closures. The rollercoaster portion is done. All they need is to do is the theming inside the show building, the queue, and the outside landscape.

I'm bit confused what is steampunk

Steampunk is a retrofuturistic subgenre of science fiction or science fantasy that incorporates technology and aesthetic designs inspired by 19th-century industrial steam-powered machinery.

 

[JEANYLASER]

Awesome news! I can't wait!

wasn't steampunk to begin with

I don't remember gears being prominently featured in the retro 50s and 60s Sci Fi films.

The future don't need no stinkin' gears... unless it's a futurized version of current industrial tech which is full of gears. Doesn't literally have to be powered by steam, just inspired by its machinery.
