The "smaller blue portion" is in Shanghai. It is the last section of track before turning into unload.
The path along the railroad would still be visible inside the park.
The north side visible from Storybook Circus is not the side visible from the Polynesian. The practice is that green is for obscuring with foliage and a blue for sky. White and grey in a pattern are not intended to fade away.

Yes! I’ve always wanted to ride test track 2.0 in an uncomfortable position! Perfect!
(That’s exaggerated sarcasm of course, people who have been on it say it’s a fun ride. But nobody says it’s particularly amazing I don’t think?)

I’ve always thought they could have really upgraded the ride by making it dual tracked with separate yellow and blue tracks. Not only could they have had some cool racing sections (think like the Matterhorn) but it would have helped the capacity.
Of course it would have needed a larger building too so that the downside

It seems so compact.... like it could be really cool if built at Epcot where it could speed around future world and cross over / under the monorail line? - why does Disney only think inside a box now? (Literally ugly boxes?).

Before it was officially announced I had an idea for Tron in Future World that had the station in the NW Innoventions building, a launch through the SW building, loops around the two small lagoons (with a hop over the path), back into another launch past Mouse Gears, into a new show building that would replace NE Innoventions, a hop over the plazza and back to the station.
Alas I was never hired as an Imagineer.

Because that's where coasters should go at Disney. An exposed track in the middle of EPCOT would be absolutely horrible -- they need to be hidden; it really takes away from the experience to see the track itself, and it's that much worse when people are actually riding it and screaming etc.
Exposed track coasters are a terrible idea for any themed environment. The Hulk and Rip Rockit coasters are easily the worst part of Universal for that reason.

What I’m envisioning wouldn’t look like an exposed track coaster. It would look like a futuristic transport device. So it would fit Epcot just as well as the “exposed track” for the monorail.

The good thing is that the gas fumes should be enough to blur the image from the background.

The tree line has also nearly covered this from the parking lot and approach. It was quickly replaced by the Pandora show building that is way too visible from the parking lot. It seems that problem can be easily solved with more plantings.

Does anybody know if this thing is gonna end up being visible from Storybook Circus? With all the great theming work they did it would be silly to just throw a giant Jetsons building in the background.
Yes, but almost never partially obstructed in some way.

That's a relief, anyways. Disney used to be so good at designing things like that. You'd think they could've themed the tron thing as like an old building with a new addition on the TL side. Oh well!

I’d like to ride the train after five years of being off line when everything is all said and done.

Well, if they ever move that crane, the Tronolith will stick out like a sore thumb.

That placement gives them more options in the future.
