News Tron coaster coming to the Magic Kingdom

[CastAStone]

You don’t bother with a patterned finish if it is not going to be seen. You use green, not grey and blue, if you’re going to hide behind trees.

Trees are not the only option to make it look okay or hide it. That’s basically what the building looks like in Shanghai and then they built one of these in front of it

For the hundredth time, the canopy only extends in front of one side. It will not block the north or south faces of the building.

They will build that here too. But it only hides certain angles.

I didn’t realize you guys had seen the plans for it.

1) It’s a clone. 2). Water management plans have been published and are in this thread

We have.

Even without seeing the plans we can actively see what is happening with the construction.

It is a shame... Disney used to have some really great architecture. While some of it seems a bit dated now, the original pavilions at Epcot (world of Motion, energy, wonders of life, land, etc.) are really fascinating architecturally.

Building a box and then trying to hide it is the new standard.

Edit... haunted mansion is a box that was hidden.

Have you been to Shanghai? You can clearly see the Tron building from Toy Story Land. Its also an eye sore from outside the park. This is a great photo of the Tron Cover - sadly it doesn't cover the show building from every angle

Waiting for the wind test once built. Should be interesting if a 3 or 4 comes through.

Yep... not a computer simulation, it's truly "pass/fail."

This is an example of where the parade steps out - which is now part of Toy Storyland. For anyone that hasn't been, this is taken from the back side of Peter Pan (another show building you can see the back side of). It would seem sight lines and show arent important these days

Like the box for forbidden journey from turkey lake road

Is it possible to hide from inside the park? Yes. Thus, worrying and fretting about the view from Storybook Circus is completely pointless. It's an exercise in getting oneself wound up for little gain. Until we know, we won't know.

So? Back of house views don’t drive the finish on the front of house side.

The side you see from Storybook Circus is the front side driving down World Drive.

Everest does not have an unfinished exterior that is visible anywhere a guest might be inside or outside the park.

I thought you just meant unfinished rears. When Everest was being built, this forum was running about like chickens with their heads cut off because they didn't build the mountain all the way around.

And not very well hidden. You can see it from the Mansion grounds by the tombs.

By the by, while checking to see if there was some kind of checkpoint past the Magic Kingdom turnoff to limit travel back there, I was struck by how much less intrusive the building actually is when approaching down World Drive. We've been looking at aerials and extreme closeups, but the actual view of half the traffic incoming is a lot less than it's looked so far.

I wasn’t following this board when Everest opened but I was disapointed at the visual from outside the park. Compared to attractions that are designed for viewing from all angles like tower of terror, it’s a disappointment. Fortunately they used that money for the super impressive yeti AA.... oh wait. (And this is coming from a fan of Joe!)

Oops. Missed this one. The orientation is completely different. In Shanghai it is within the berm, oriented so that the canopy is perpendicular to the berm (causing the visible side to face half of the park), and has a seven-lane split highway and a hotel right behind it. In Orlando, it is outside the berm, is oriented so the exposed size faces a fraction of a mini-land (which can easily be shielded with plantings), and has a two-lane road and acres of old-growth forest behind it.

Again, so what? The pattern is there for the front of house view. It does not continue to the east side of the building.

You... said... that they wouldn't hide the wall from Storybook Circus because of the finish. I said the finish can be seen from the road and you talked about only doing up the sides of a house that face the curb. But... from the road that side is the front. It can be seen from the curb. If your house is on a corner you don't only care about the side facing the road your street address says.

If the view from World Drive is why there is a pattern it would have continued east. It does not.

Isn't that taken from the monorail track leading to the area they maintain the monorails, the part where guests never ride on? Looks like it's the part of World Drive that encircles the MK and not the part the general public are encouraged to use?

No, that is the south side that faces the monorail loops, not the east side. You can see where the trains reenter the building which is on the west side.
