Space Mountain/Tomorrowland Transit Authority update...

Does that look like a decidous tree? It does to me. If so, that seems a little odd.

 

[Rob562]

Something that *is* new on the lifthills is that the railings on the hills have been extended higher, and may also have had additional "horizontal" rails added.

Greenery was definitely needed in that area...

But that tree is awfully scrawny for that big planter.:shrug:

 

[ChrisFL]

wow, much ado about nothing on that planter...it's just so....plain

 

[NMBC1993]

Looking more and more like the astronauts are not coming back...

Yeah its looking that way. I'm glad I got a picture of them when I did.

Really take a look at some of the other planters around WDW next time your there. Then look at this one.

Thumbs down.

Considering I know nothing about trees or the types, would this one fill out or grow to be much bigger? It looks like a pretty young tree to me that needs to grow... Preferably within 3 weeks :ROFLOL:

 

[MousDad]

^^ I'm just saying, a tree that loses its leaves. Isn't that going to look a little weird in such a prominent location? It may not be deciduous, but it does look it.

The new, um... fountain... :lookaroun

Um, I agree with greenery being more needed in the area, but...

A fountain of leaves. Guess there was no time for a fountain of water. :lol:

 

[WDW Vacationer]

That area looks great!

 

[uklad79]

Definately a fountain. I like that they realized a water feature was needed.

:ROFLOL: Always best to say in your view rather than definately.

 

[mickey2008.1]

I like the new area, but the tree looks as ifi it is half dead. Afew leaves here, and the rest bare. In time we will see. But i think the overall aesthetics are coming together fairly well.:xmas:

Well spotted Rob :wave:

There are new railings added on top of the old ones, and what looks like more wiring for the new work lighting. The new cameras BTW were added late September.

Before & after:

 

[DisneyParksFan1]

I love the planter. Dissapointed at the fact that we got no fountain, but I still love that planter. Isn't it just interesting how we saw this whole refurb start out and now we see it all taking shape so quickly.

The good refurbs take longer

 

[krankenstein]

They could have at least incorporated a bench all the way around the planter since so many guests normally wait for FPs to become usable.

Overall, not terrible, but it could've been better.

Then again, I usually see people just sit on the planter's edge. Doubt it would make a difference. :shrug:

Yep. I saw it start out 4 years ago. And now it has taken shape all too quick.
