Looks fantastic.Still no new main Sign. Still old gears. However there are new signs on the COP by each of the doors.

A Guest most likely left the theater, causing an intrusion. The cast most likely cleared the intrusion but missed the rotation time so they jogged it manually since it was within an acceptable range to rotate it. (If that makes sense).Show looked great for me on Sat 9/17. Only issue I found was when the theater rotates to new scene it had a delay of at least 30 seconds. between scene two and three. So much so that the second scene started again and was telling how good that time frame was. Then weeeeee we move to scene three already in progress.
Otherwise, the theater we were in smelled new and carpet looked new. seats were clean though still the same ones as before. All animatronics seemed to be working well.
Plus are these the new monitors mentioned earlier? I haven't compared to earlier pics in my own archive yet. They look new to me.

I do recall seeing the February 2017 thing on their page but I just scrolled through and can't find it nowi just scrolled through their last month or so post and couldn't find it. Could you help me out?
It was in the comments on one of their posts. I'll look later if someone doesn't find it before me.I do recall seeing the February 2017 thing on their page but I just scrolled through and can't find it now
The screens are new. @Carousel Of Progress Love, who posts frequently on Facebook and Twitter of the updates to the attraction, mentioned they had been sitting in the tunnels for over a year, they just finally got around to installing them.Yep, those are new. (Edit: Or they at least installed an appropriate cover around the existing screens. Hard to tell exactly if the TV screens themselves are new.)

Also said the new main sign is "about 95% complete".
Disney tried to go for a retro look on Rockettower last year when they painted the whole thing a '70s-ish Orange color, but it just doesn't fit. Needs another repaint to go in line with Space/CoPGreat news! If it's anything like the new signs on the building, it should have a nice retro-future look to it.
Though that would reinforce the split personality that Tomorrowland has going on. The "front" end with SGE, MILF, and Rockettower Plaza (yes, I still call it that) is very much the 90's sci-fi/spaceport look. And the back end, with CoP, Space Mountain and Cosmic Rays retains a more modern-ish/minimalism/retro look.
In other words, it's a mess. Between Tomorrowland and Epcot's Future World, it's clear that Disney doesn't have a clue on how to cohesively and attractively theme a land of the future.

Also, as @tongaloosh noted, they fixed the arrows on the door graphic. They had been painted (incorrectly) clockwise; now they point counter-clockwise to mimic the building's actual movement.
