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.
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.

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.

:D Yeah, at least most reactions on this site — not all, but most — are from people who frequently visit the parks and know their history. Twitter is a scary place.

I agree completely. There have been missteps in the past, but overall, Disney design has been pretty good, even spectacular. Why are they now churning out so much design and architecture that's bad? Did all the good ones go to Universal?
I think both GE and Pandora have great design so I do not think it is all bad.

So in Blog Mickey's Astro Oribter video, it seems the "basic" metal fins are all gone from the TTA. The only ones left are the big ones that light up at night.

I'm talking about these fins:

Yes, only the big fins are left. Blog Mickey pointed this out a few days ago:

Well, looks like my theory was wrong. It’s great to see it back open, but they seriously need to update the aesthethics before it ends up sticking out like a sore thumb.

Photo update as of Saturday, September 21, 2019. Not sure this has been posted. All new orange chairs and white tables have appeared at Tomorrowland Terrace restaurant.

Oh this looks like a potentially big clue as to where they’re taking things aesthetically. Probably taking it away from gray/blue/purple and towards white and orange. Let’s see if some orange/red goes up along with the white.

I'd love for you to be right, but Tron uses blue as an accent color, and the 'purple instagram wall' was introduced as part of the recent repainting in tomorrowland. From everything I've seen they don't have a strict color palette.

I like it. To me, the new color scheme seems more 1960s-inspired than 1970s, a modern nod to DL’s Tomorrowland in the 60s- lots of white with pops of bright color. It’s retro-future, to be sure.
