Here’s another look from Walt Disney Imagineering:

To their credit, It is actually refreshing that they are not just resting on their laurels and just cleaning up the original attraction and leaving it at that. I could complain about the over-reliance on projections but to be honest the physical sets in this attraction have always looked less three dimensional and more cardboard cutout with black light-like so I am going to consider this an improvement for the time being.

I will miss that old render of Buzz. Something about his face, the smirk, and the way his eyebrows are drawn always resonated with me. This refurb is going deeper than I ever imagined. I fear that the music will all be changed and lost to time. Only a few tracks have high-quality rips saved online. Either way, super excited this ride appears to be getting the TLC it needs.

yeah, I may have been too cynical before regarding how quick the turnaround should have taken, but if they're actually doing proper work to it that will be nice. The queue has always been such a let down besides the animatronic. I realize it's a small space but I feel like there's a lot they could do to improve it.

I agree. Very unengaging queue. Cute murals and a cool animatronic, but I hope they have added some more dynamic elements and maybe leaned more into toy-scale props that TSM does so well in its queue.

There’s only so much that can be done with this space unless they decide to get rid of the Laugh Floor. Glad to see they’ve decided to give the ride a much needed “plussing”. I imagine we’re not going to get any big projects on this side of the park for the foreseeable future so gotta take what we can get.

I wouldn't trust them to do it right for the foreseeable future.

Following what's already been announced for Buzz and CoP, it actually doesn't really need big projects. It needs one Big Thunder-esque rebuild (Space Mountain), modest show replacements for Monsters and Stitch, and some new window scenes in PeopleMover. Speedway is the only attraction that could really use a complete do-over (especially with Piston Peak coming), but it also wouldn't be the worst thing ever if it just converted to electric and got a queue and landscaping refresh.

Agreed this is a likely a good synopsis of "best case scenario" for WDW TL for the foreseeable future.
  • At least do what was planned way back in 2009 for Space Mountain
  • I feel Speedway's "got to go;" it's going to look even more run-down/dated/basic/unPC/etc. after Piston Peak opens. Like w/TSI, they don't have to worry about Utilidoors, or even much demo relatively speaking. It should be the next attraction to get the "chopping block" imo...but only for something really WOW.
  • Except for arguably Space Mountain, DL's TL is in more dire need of an overhaul, and fortunately the recent WSJ article shed more light on that.
  • I'll never be a fan of Buzz/Mike/Stitch/etc in TL.
