DHS Aerial View

THe long blue building is attached to Coaster and is the launch and brake run area of the ride. They are not imagining things, the building is being painted blue, we just don't yet know if it will be the entire building or just part of it.

They're currently painting one side of the actual coaster building blue, so I would assume the whole building will be getting the blue treatment.

Awesome news. Did they take off the studio number plaque too?

All the number plaques are currently still up.

I'd be surprised if they're doing anything at all for a phase 3 this early in time. That said, bold blue is used frequently in Monstropolis. Was Jim Hill onto something?

FTFY

Crazily enough could Rocknrollercoaster be visible from Toy Story Land, and they're painting it blue so it could blend in with the sky? Similar to what Disney has done with Soarin' over at Epcot.

There's going to be a lot visible from the top of the TSL coaster.

Question is, will they fix it.

The building will not be visible from toy Story Land it's pretty far

The tall part might be visible from parts of the coaster, but the lower part shouldn't be.

My point stands

 

[Jones14]

Is the lower part visible from any guest areas in the park? It seems (at first glance) to be a move away from soundstage tan for the sake of blending in/looking more pleasant, similar to how Star Tours' showbuilding did a few years ago.

Here is a simulation from Google Earth showing a potential eye level from the coaster. The blue arrow is the tall part of the Rock-n-Roller Coaster building.

The fence does not block that area right? And it could look like the sky from the point of view

 

[rocketraccoon]

I'm not sure how you'd even block the view from outside the land completely without making it look bad from somewhere in the park. Even then I can't imagine it being a bit deal. People seem fine with things like the Tower of Terror and Test Track as it is.

What? We can't see large things from far away? Like Tower of Terror from Epcot?

Disney's own mock-up of the Slinky-Dog coaster shows it seeing the top of the Chinese theater facade and the top of the neighboring garages. The 'fence' going up is only as large as the garages. In that line of sight you can certainly see the much taller RnRC building and ToT and the Swolphin.

From Disney...

Google Earth Pro point of view with the rest of the taller buildings behind the garage...

You're the one that was peddling DSNY/Jim Hill fantasies. You just don't know what you're talking about. Stop stating things like you're an expert.

I might as well not even speak

Could this just be a new color choice for all the sound stage-esq buildings to continue the transition from the studio setting?
