Here are some pics taken from the resort Beam Monorail Orange on 3/23. You can see more detailed work on the Railroad berm near the MK front backstage security entrance.

I love how they put back the retro signage for the Monster's Inc Laugh Floor. Recently, I thoroughly looked through footage of pre-1994 MK Tomorrowland (especially 70's and early 80's), and am in love with that clean, sleek look. I think the 94 redo has reached its expiration date. In my opinion, the original look was more timeless. Probably the thing that sticks out the most from the 1994 redo is the Astro Orbiter. To me, it looks like a giant, cartoonish mobile a toddler would have in his bedroom. Even when I was a kid, I thought it looked kind of obnoxious. Changing it to something more like the original Star Jets would give Tomorrowland a more tastefully sleek skyline.

Sorry if it’s been said already but do we know what exactly they are building here?

Pond expansion with a retaining wall.

Looks like some sort of walkway there too in between the walls. Unless that will be backfilled with dirt for a terraced look.
Well, they probably need to be able to walk along side the track for emergency purposes, such as when these un-air-conditioned cars burst into flames.

Are you saying they’re not going to have AC in the passenger cars?? Has this been confirmed? I’m sweating already just thinking about this!

As a cost-saving measure, the a/c units that have been on the Speedway and Walt Disney World Railroad since 1971 are being removed. Sad. I’ll miss comfortable August drives on the Speedway past trees and other impressive story elements.

I honestly wouldn't be mad if they packed up Armageddon and shipped it to Florida to replace Stitch.
Such an underrated attraction.

I was just there a few weeks ago (first trip), and I wonder if some of the effects we're working or I couldn't see them. I found it to be pretty underwhelming and repetitive. Though I've heard good things. My first thought walking in was - this is what should be in the SGE space!
(And Paris' SM is good - though the Hyperspace Mountain overlap of amazing steampunk with Star Wars is very odd. I'd really like to see the original or Mission 2 restored!)

The problem was they didn’t go all the way. They wanted to bring over the Victorian/steampunk version of Tomorrowland they made for Paris but then got gold feet when they realized it didn’t make as much sense in America and in the original park so there were competing visions on how to redo the land plus the budget was constantly getting cut. Had they went fully with Discoveryland overlay I think the bronze Space Mountain would have worked (especially if they redid the ride).
It’s sad because Tony Baxter essentially lost his job and imagineering went to the dogs because of that fiasco.
