Right but I'm impressed they even know how to orient a building. Now we ONLY see the show building sometimes instead of it being the main feature in the middle of Tomorrowland.

And what is a data center paint job?

Step 1: Paint it a blueish-gray.
Step 2: Tell everyone who complains about it looking like a warehouse the Disney imagineers painstakingly recreated the look of a 21st century Internet computer center after much research. Maybe toss a picture out there of people standing beside one in WDI hardhats or something.
Why not just paint an Monster's Inc. Logo on one side (It's a factory!) a Buy-n-Large logo on the other (It's a Wall-E warehouse) and for good measure (and because it would somewhat work) an "ENCOM" logo on the side facing Tomorrowland and the queue for Tron?

Hey! Since outlandish is the order of the day just paint it to match the castle, yeah, that ridiculous pink w nice blue accents. On a serious note the steel bluish / gray concept with some futuristic (very large) logos may just work.

Except Tron was made years before that ride was even though off (it was originally exclusive to Shanghai Disney Resort).

Probably because those who ride the Velocicoaster are there for the adrenaline rush as opposed to anything else. The scene from Tron the ride is attempting to mimic requires a dark backdrop which would be hard to pull off in the daylight.
On the flip side Velocicoaster has completely ruined the Magic in Harry Potter land, with screaming riders careening past the Three Broomsticks every 45 seconds, so probably not the best example of ideal roller plaster integration into a highly themed park

Oh please! It’s a theme park! Who cares about screaming guests on roller coasters? Hagrd’s with the jet launch motorbikes is worse.
You’re missing the point. I think intentionally?

Good point. Tron is supposed to be in a surreal darkened place something really hard to do in the sunshine state.

At some point you have to accept you’re in a theme park. You’re not actually in Pandora. You’re not in Hogsmeade. You’re not in a galaxy far far away. When you ask what time the fireworks are and the give you something about how “well I heard about a battle in the sky around 0 900 hours” there’s a problem. When a theme park takes its theme too seriously it’s annoying. I want Coca Cola. No I don’t care Harry Potter doesn’t drink it on screen. What do you mean they can’t just call it “Wizard Cola?” Seriously? Sorry for the rant lol
I’m not sure what that has to do with whether or not Velocicoaster is more of an intrusion on Harry Potter Land than the Tron Box is on Tomorrowland.
You can not care, that’s fine, but that wasn’t what the question was.

So we changed Dragon Challenge screams for Velocicoaster ones.
One thing is for sure, theme parks are full of people screaming on rides so I don't think you'll ever escape it unfortunately.
I for one find this "intrusion" very dramatic and nitpicky. You've always been able to see other rides from the back of eatery. I consider the giant Guardians box & the old Fry's warehouse coaster an actual intrusion to the environments around them.

At least for now, the inability to get close to the Energy pavilion, Wonders of Life, and the center of the park means the Cosmic Rewind box isn't actually all that intrusive in the environment immediately around it. It's just utterly heinous when viewed from the World Showcase and is obviously horrendous from the parking lot. Curious to see how bad it will actually be once Cosmic Rewind, PLAY!, and World Celebration open, though.

How about: neither is intrusive, both are great coasters, and, at some point, one must accept there’s constraints preventing someone’s precious perfect immersion?
