News Tron coaster coming to the Magic Kingdom

Another great shot with some perspective - I wish I had the skills to draw the profile of the canopy from the air to show potential sightlines.

Has Space Mountain been repainted, looks incredibly white?

I took Martin's sketch and 'enhanced' the look a bit... so, maybe something like this?

The canopy does not wrap the building. It sits in front of the west side.

I think that's what his picture shows? Certainly on that picture the canopy he's drawn just covers the outside curve portion of the track rather than the building?

Just good to see construction has restarted!

Doesn't seem to be any evidence that is has.

Since when have facts mattered to him?

It hasn’t. That site is claiming that scaffolding and other things that have been there since march are “new” with no evidence to support it. Nothing has changed at the site since closure

Its just over exposed in that photo.

Just the photo. It received a shoddy paint job a couple years ago, but currently looks like crap again.

Maybe indoor show scenes first before all the outdoor stuff.

They’d want the building envelope complete before doing most of that work.

There’s not an awful lot to install inside.

Don't they need to put in the safety nets to catch all the cell phones, hats and other trinkets that will go flying out of riders' pockets?

In the box? I don’t think there are multiple blocks for that area and if there are there are not many crossovers.

This is the Shanghai Canopy overlay from a similar angle.

Maybe -- but doesn't the track cross over the queue a couple of times? I know Kings Island has nets over peoples' heads when the track crosses over them.

It doesn’t go over the queue at all. The only time it goes over people’s heads is the outside portion, and Shanghai’s does have nets there.
