The Viewliner. It lasted a little over a year.

"The Viewliner!"

 

[MrConbon]

So are they doing any more painting? They revealed the part by the purple wall but like is anywhere else getting the new paint job?

The Viewliner. It lasted a little over a year.

Here's a long interview with Bob Gurr, covering the construction of both the Viewliner and the Monorails that followed. I can't remember exactly where the Viewliner is in the video, but anyone who reads this forum should be interested in it at least.

Well they just launched a whole new Stitch cartoon series (his third) last year in Asia, which was originally produced in English. It started airing in English just this year. They haven't shown it on the US Disney Channel yet but that doesn't mean they won't.

Good to see Stitch is popular, at least in Asia.

I wonder if we will get the series (in my country) Because a lot of things never come.

Some minor updates on the paint progress of TL:

 

[MerlinTheGoat]

I dislike Carousel of Progress' new paint job. I really liked the one we had previously, however briefly it existed.

The rest of the repainting in the land looks like it could be an improvement however.

I don't think it's done. Those are probably the base colors for whatever pattern will go over them.

Did I read that they are repainting CoP in the same style as it was before the hurricane issues? Or was that just a lofty pipe dream?

I guess it could be a primer, I assumed it was actually finished. Hasn't it been in this state for a few weeks now? The colors at least are like the previous paint job, so maybe there's hope.

I hope so. I actually really liked that scheme. I know they needed to repaint due to a lubricant leak that messed it up, but I had hoped they'd just repaint it as it was.

Was at TL yesterday on our current trip. The new paint job looks nice, but they have a long way to go to make TL look better. It is my least favorite section of the MK from an aesthetics point of view.

I think they were painting it white a couple weeks back and then started doing the colors on it more recently.

Edit: Looking at the colors in the picture (orange, red, blue), it does look very similar to the base colors of the previous paint job in the video. I don't think anyone would complain about it being the same color scheme again.

Here's from today. Sorry for bad quality.

 

[larryz]

Looks like they're definitely Tron-ifying TL. Will they be hanging glowing panels on the TTA?

The Studios have a new hunt for Stitch at the end or exit of most attractions. It has been a new 'extra' for guests to see if they can find all of the hidden Stitches, some hiding in Plain Sight other not.

I tend to agree with you, there could be something to the Disney Channel and Stitch up and coming state side.

Are you kidding? I see Stitch merchandise everywhere.

There is NEW merchandise everywhere of Stitch, from shoes, tshirts, backpacks, plushes and that is at WDW, Disney Stores and department stores like Box Lunch, JCP and Kohls. Today I receieved with my rewards a flyer with 10 Disney items plastered on the rewards card, one was a NEW Stitch Backpack and another was a NEW mini Stitch plush. The current Stitch attraction isn't beloved by many but I don't see Stitch disappearing from merchandising anymore than I would believe Figment would Disappear.

Last week I received my luggage tag I ordered.

Disney Rewards flier delivered today

Box Lunch store dozens of Stitch items. Store is less than a year old here.

I’m happy with Tronification as long as they are consistent and keep up with it. The Tron aesthetic still feels futuristic and fun. I’d also be happy with a retro theme if they were to do it well.

So I assume the CoP paint job is still ongoing.
