You're absolutely right. WDWRR has been closed for too long. They need to do the landscaping outside to be able to do that. Completely forgot about that even existed lol

Of all the times I have been to MK I have never ridden the train and only have done the peoplemover once.

You have explained why in other places but I have to comment on this,
You may be doing it your way but you are doing it wrong,
Slow down, step out of line and move out of your comfort zone, you don't know what you are missing

When I go to Cedar Point I ride the train but only to get to the back of the park. I use it for what it's intended for and thats a mode of transportation.
In Disney parks it’s also an attraction.

At Cedar Point its an attraction too. The second half of it goes through a western town with animatronic skeletons.
The rumor is that Bob Iger said this about the Tron show building: “It’s just a non-descript box just painted to blend into the background or something.”
Bob Chapek had no comment, he was apparently busy in a merchandise brainstorming meeting.

Good. I thought you only saw them as a means of transportation.

No it's more so it's not something I go out of my way to ride. Even Peoplemover I rarely ride as it's boring. For me an attraction has to either be thrilling or entertaining. The train or peoplemover do neither.
There’s nothing like riding the Peoplemover on a warm evening and just relaxing, watching and looking at the sights (ETA: and sounds) around and below.

The fact that the railroad has been closed for over 2 years and now the Peoplemover has been closed for almost 1, is just absurd to me. The Peoplemover is my favorite attraction at MK, and one of my favorites in all of WDW, and it’s been closed during my 2 visits this year. Sad.
On a brighter note, at least you got to visit. More than once too. For better or for worse.

I can’t remember if this has been discussed, but is there anything planned for the train tunnel as far as a show scene?
Based on the concept art, I’m not expecting sets or props, but I could see projections of lightcycles on the side walls as the train passes through being a possibility.

Good thing it will largely be hidden from themed areas.
Yeah. I quoted this before someone else said it, but I've never seen this either. Honestly, I'm not even sure I've seen parks vloggers with a Patreon, but that may just be the ones I've watched.
We're in a weird spot of having absolutely no idea if there even is going to be a real tunnel, per se. Could just be an overpass. It seems there has to be one, but there's just... so... little information on this. Unless insiders have been holding out on that specific part.

If only they'd saved those dinosaurs from Universe of Energy... could've added a Primeval World diorama to the railroad like Disneyland's.

Most of the dinos from Energy probably disintegrated during the removal process

And the one's that didn't are on backup duty at DL.

If re-seller "entrepreneurs" (as they've been called around these parts, LOL) can clear out merch shelves left and right, I'm all for equal-opportunity ridiculousness. I enjoy vlogging to a certain extent but seeing throngs of them about while in the parks (in person), I have to say that it angers me ALMOST as much as those "entrepreneurs." But yeah, they're both awful and two of the many blights on modern day parkgoing.
We know it's a tunnel.
We know by the permit, there's no room for a diorama, so, 100% sure there will be no dinosaurs or canyons.
We don't know if the tunnel will be plussed with TRONic lights or anything.
