Are they really going to keep the railroad closed until Tron opens? Seems like they could have it opened before Thanksgiving if they really wanted to.

I doubt they can open the RR until construction workers are finished outdoors.
So while it should be able to open before Tron opens, it would be dependant on when that area is no longer an active construction site.

Right, hardscape and landscape done then the choo choo can choo choo.
They are still pouring concrete so they need access for the equipment

Exactly. Once the outside looks finished, I assume they can open the RR.
Whether they do or not, is another question.
Unsure if anyone knows of an internal projection?

On the plus side, landscaping continues to progress. Looks like they placed two additional large trees today between the railroad and the backstage electrical station.

Hopefully they can import 200 redwoods to block the show building…

Sometimes I look at these photos and say to myself: "Looks like things are moving along nicely" but then I remember that they built Disneyland in just about a year, and I go back to being miffed.

Not to mention they built the entirety of Magic Kingdom including the Utilidors and the surrounding areas and resorts in less time than it’s taken them to build Tron.

Man that engine rebuild is taking a lot longer than originally planned...
As you round Story Book Circus, you can see the gravity building through the trees...
And then, the full reveal...
Here, let me get closer....
And worst of all... closer still down that path!!!!....
So disrespectful to sight lines...

Remember when they built an entire area along the rivers of America at Disneyland, to block the view of Galaxy’s edge and then also made the sight lines of big thunder Mountain fit into galaxies edge. Yeah they don’t care anymore. The Tron and Cosmic rewind sight lines are terrible. There’s no excuse for this.

What I can't understand is they painted the box grey in an acceptance that area was going to be seen [and have a Tomorrowland look] and then painted areas blue which weren't meant to be seen from guest areas but it seems like it is going to be very difficult to obscure the blue areas. They should have just painted it all grey?

I think the Tower looks like crap compared to the Contempo. It doesn't belong there.

All that work and still a bad fit for the park
