Apparently, Astro Orbiter is still closed despite today being its planned reopening date. https://blogmickey.com/2019/09/astr...ing-scheduled-to-open-today-at-magic-kingdom/
Does anyone else think this might have to do with it getting a proper makeover to match the new aesthetic?

The closure seems a little too impromptu for it to be a makeover. But I could be wrong.

Yes, the closure was impromptu, but it wouldn’t be unreasonable to extend it now to do what they were already planning on doing sometime in the next couple of years anyway.

Over the past few days, I've learned a lot about Disney fans' mindset following the initial reaction to an incomplete installation ("It's terrible! My childhood is destroyed! It's not what Walt wanted! Off with Messrs. Iger and Chapek's heads! What about the yeti?!") to the evolution of acceptance ("well, I guess it's better than <fill in the blank>") to appreciation when the final product is finished ("Wow, that sign is quite nice").
Always entertaining, this website.

As in an attraction with a fake refurb that’s really abandonment? Let’s hope not.

Not entirely unreasonable, but perhaps a little more expensive and a little backwards. If - for instance - a refurb and renovation were already planned for late 2020, none of the offsite fabrication work for thinks like new ride vehicles or a new iconic element would have been completed (started? plans finalized?) yet. So this would mean Ops losing capacity while WDI orders and waits on subcontractors to deliver new custom parts and elements.
Again, if the ride is entirely *broken* and/or unsafe to operate anyways, then this would be no loss (ala Primeval Whirl). But we have no indication that the ride is compromised. Which means waiting for fabrication with the ride in mothballs seems like an undue hardship.
Well, when you invent the technology to do it, you can sell it to Disney.

Because we should really care less about what happens to Tomorrowland as theme park fans. Disney pop-up stores inside of select Target locations, on the other hand, are the kind of thing that’s truly worthy of our excitement and anticipation.

It was part of the same announcement introducing StoryMaker into the parks and resorts.

Not even just a thing here. Go on Twitter for even more hot takes. If you think it's crazy here, just wait till you explore outside this site.

The sign in daylight or night is awkwardly proportioned and looks like a school project.

but see, the installation of that sign is complete...there is even an illustration of it on the park maps....so, I am not out of line assuming it is finished...

The installation of the sign may be complete, but the implementation of the aesthetic across the land isn’t, so you can’t judge how it looks against the main concourse as it currently stands.
