Meanwhile some good berm work has been done. Somebody somewhere understands TL design. Lovely correspondence with the CoP exterior paintjob, which I adore and which itself reflects classic TL design.

The entrance marquee is reasonably well done. Certainly a step up from before.
Although for my liking there would be no marquee. Just a restored attractive weenie. A 100ft rocket spells 'Tomorrowland' even better than a good vintage font.
Also, the new Monsters sign is amazing. So nice to see it. TL is getting prettier!
Pity about Chapek barfing sightline-ruining mega-boxes all over the parks. Such as the Tron one, which diminishes SM as GotG diminishes SSE.
They say that if you snap a photo capturing a bird or plane within the "eye" of the Tomorrowland marquee and post it to Instagram you'll receive a thousand followers and get 1000+ reps for your efforts. Who needs a "purple wall" when you have the new Tomorrowland Challenge?

Isn't the Tron attraction going to eventually look like this?
meaning the 'box' hidden when it's completed?

They are complaining about the back side view from a Bay Lake Tower room or monorail as it drives by to which I say

As it's been stated plenty of times, the box isn't completely covered from the front.They are complaining about the back side view from a Bay Lake Tower room or monorail as it drives by to which I say
And t'll be entirely visible from the SBC - TL walkway

Only if that exact angle is duplicated. The canopy does not hide the box when looked at from in front on the ground. The canopy does not hide the box from Fantasyland. The canopy does not hide the box from the ride. The canopy does not hide the box from the Seven Seas Lagoon.Isn't the Tron attraction going to eventually look like this?

And everything will be fine. We will have a fun new coaster and hopefully allow them to take Space Mountain down to get the refurb it deserves.
Sure it would be neat if they could properly hide giant show building boxes for indoor coasters from all angles but it’s not realistic. I’d rather have the ride and box than nothing or an un-themed outdoor coaster.

Yeah it's not like they haven't been doing that for decades lol
Suddenly doing a well designed show building is unrealistic.
The ride was designed from the ground up, the building could've had any interesting shape.
See Space Mountain, Horizons, Universe of Energy, World of Motion, Tower of Terror, etc

I've been to Shanghai and the canopy gets the job done very well. Not flawless, but very well. I am confused about how the canopy does not hide the box from the ride or the front?

You can easily see the box sticking up above the canopy. The reentry into the building is nothing but a hole in the side of a warehouse.

Yep, they'll probably wait until the last moment to fix Space Mountain or after the last moments for one it's riders.

Nah. They can't do SM 2.0 until after the 50th. Last time they tried the traditionalists had a fit. After the 50th the innovators will have more leverage to get a budget secured.

There's literally a perfect example sitting next door, lol.

Building Tron next to Space Mountain was like when they built Bay Lake Tower next to Contemporary, or the Villas next to Grand Floridian.
Maybe we should call it Disney Vacation Coaster?

A shame, but I can live with that. I managed to accept that when I rode the Skyway that many rides including 20,000 Leagues, IASW and HM were revealed to be just a facade in a not so very attractive box so I'll manage my expectations for this.

that’s a fully enclosed coaster though with a track fitting that shape. That’s not what Tron us for better or worse.

I'm happy they are making Tron Coaster, but hope it doesn't come at the cost of the look of Tomorrowland. What I've seen so far I haven't been 100% for. It looks boring (the new entrance sign and main pathway) and plain in many areas.

Tron has an exposed warehouse building because the track goes outside?
Running out of excuses already?

I visited Magic Kingdom this past week, my previous visit being in August. In just two months there's been a noticeable improvement in the land's aesthetic. New paint and the new sign make a big difference - but there's still soooo much to do to get Tomorrowland looking really classy again. I hate that the Speedway is still using gas-powered vehicles. There's nothing 'tomorrow' about that attraction. A lot needs to be done before Tron opens to prevent this part of WDW looking like a flea market of midway rides. Hope they pull it off!
