The speedway really needs to go if no other reason than to make a better transition from FL to TL. Also the fact that you can hear and smell the speedway from well inside FL doesn't help either. I'd love to see the BATB ride from Tokyo or something of the like to take over that spot.
And the interior of the box is insulated with asbestos (the white stuff)! Prior to the advent of metal fuse boxes they used wooden fuse boxes and asbestos was used as insulation to "fireproof" the boxes.
Personally I like speedway but wish they would update it.
I would like a speedway of some sort. A more compact and futuristic multi level speedway would be great. The problem is that the current version takes up way to much space. They could get rid of that and make a small addition to FL as well as a cool new more futuristic track with elevation changes and electric cars.
I agree... the Hong Kong speedway at least has a more furutistic vibe to gel with the surroundings... at the very least they should do something like this...upgrade to electric cars, add set pieces and decor to the track to make it more of a journey, not just a car on a road....
forget the maze, give me the dark ride!! unless the maze is "in addition to" the dark ride... Disneyland recently revamped version is really great! A model for how all the classic dark rides can be updated.
As much as I love Beauty and the Beast, I'd prefer an Alice in Wonderland mini-land. Teacups, maze, dark ride. Perfect area.
Indeed.
I like the second picture better.Indeed.
Thematically it's very much needed in my opinion since it was specifically designed that way.
I understand why the trees can't be as big as they used to be, but why on earth they can't be similar to those in Disneyland is beyond me.
Here's a mockup I did a while back:

It would help tremendously.
the second picture, missing the trees makes the castle feel closer, but not in a good way...it also makes it appear smaller... While great for fireworks at the end of the night, it looks too open...
Well, everyone should be encouraged by the fact that as soon as the public tires of the Castle projections the trees will be back. Until then, don't hold your breath no matter how much one thinks it "looks better". I don't care about the projections, but, I still think it looks better without them then with them. Trees I can see when I look out my window at home, Castles are rather limited in my neighborhood.
Well done. Makes all the difference in the "World".Indeed.

"You enter your 240-seat theater section in the first of its six positions, while guests in five other sections enjoy other parts of the presentation." http://www.yesterland.com/progress.html
New Carousel of Progress signage is up and it has a new logo design with iconography of a what looks like a stylized overhead view of the carousel complete with wedged rooms and arrows showing the carousel in motion. Nice design!
Not sure if I like the mylar-like background; makes sign difficult to read. IMO either a darker mylar surface or a darker color on the typeface is needed.
There is one thing of interest. The CoP icon has SIX wedges. Does this hint at an expansion with a new theater room and show scene?
True of the originals but not the WDW version. Orlando has only four show "sections"
The sign went up last month. And very nice it is.

One load, one unload, 4 show sections. A fifth would be nice, but then they'd need to load and unload in one 4 minute 18 second (if memory serves) period. Seems like it'd be tough.
