Have they been doing that on the other side of the hub where the curbs were already lowered?

I got it! This whole curb lowering thing is a way to upcharge for a bench at parade time. I expect a parks blog any day now

I don't think so.... But the parade doesn't go on the Frontierland side of the hub.

The marquee is giving me Shanghai TL vibes. Bravo. I'm happy to see the corny steam punk/Buck Rogers TL style being dismantled in favor of this sleek mid-century look.

I don’t hate it but it doesn’t really do anything for me. Those bases look like they belong in Toontown though.

At least add some facts or decorations to the walls. Kind of irritating to see it just run down the whole area with no decorations

That's fair, but I was mostly comparing it to the previous version.
The new iteration is reminiscent of classic Tomorrowland icons like Space Mountain, which I prefer. I'm hopeful they won't stop at the entrance and give the rest of the area a top to bottom redo. Apparently Disney no longer has the talent to design anything original or inspired for their Tomorrowlands, let alone keep them up-to-date, so leaning into Mid-Century Googie or the MCU is probably the safest bet.

Oh gotcha. Yeah I think it’s (slightly) better too even if just a little too minimal. They re both no good to be honest. However, the old one at least has some character, even if it looks like a pile of junk.

Yeah, and TBH, it's kind of unnecessary. It's not like anyone needs a giant marquee announcing Tomorrowland with all of that visual storytelling going on beyond. It's like putting a sign in front of the castle that says "Fantasyland".

I think this was a much better approach...
That new marquee just feels kind of cold and sterile to me.
