Something like the rocket that was just installed at Disneyland might work.

?

I think it would be nice if they demoed the curved roof and replaced it with an extension of the lower tiered roof the original building has.

Exactly.

?

I guess it was repainted or something. Not really current on Disneyland.

 

[marni1971]

The Light and Power building should be reduced removed.

 

[T.Will]

That's the best-case scenario, but I don't see Disney taking out a gift shop.

Which is silly, because as I've said before, it's not like they're selling something there you can't find in every other store at every resort and park and Disney Springs. Such a waste.

It should remain mostly unchanged.

Is a paint job in the cards at least?

I’m not sure how thorough it would be if it happens.

 

[Donaldfan1934]

The Light and Power building should be reduced. It's too tall, there's empty space with the arcade gone, and it could cause a bottleneck for Tron.
(Plus the art deco clashes with Space too much).

The original Tron concept art showed off a nice exterior remodel for the building.

Granted, this was also the same piece of concept art that had the now removed escalator entrance in it, but I really hope the changes shown are still part of the plan considering that it’s one of the closest structures to TRON.

That’s concerning. While I don’t think the Astro Orbiter necessarily has to go full Star Jets to work within the aesthetic they’re moving towards, the ride in its current state is still too distinctly TL’94 and shouldn’t go completely unaltered.

During my time out last week especially during the Feb 3rd After Hours event I have noticed a really raw sewage scent around the area..Anyone else notice it lately?

One of the people mover ramps seems to be under refurb, guests entering & exiting have to share the left ramp.

Despite what a certain website may be saying, if the ramp itself were in rehab, they would not have built scaffolding on top of it. More than likely they are repairing something inside the ceiling under the Astro Orbiter.

Why would you build scaffolding on top of the very thing you want to work on?

Isn't this the home for one of the custom MagicBand shops?

 

[mgf]

Apologies if this has been discussed, but is it possible the multi-color, programmable led lights installed on WEDWAY years back might finally be used in combination with the coming Tron canopy light shows?

If they did I’d say remove the outer ring with the planets and the additional rings on the central spire, repaint and perhaps modify the spire and rockets a bit.

 

[trainplane3]

I see what @MadTeacup meant by them possibly reusing the leg supports. You can see where they took the blades off the legs and replaced it with a flat piece.

@marni1971 please tell us they're going to be replaced to match the roof supports and not be a half-"butt" solution.

Good thinking. If the planets aren’t going to spin ever again, why keep them?

I'm in line for SM and apparently @marni1971 has his own wifi!!
