Yes it's made up - was hypothetical illustration not intended to be realistic.
Let's just say if I got boarding group 200 I'd hope for sure they'd be enforcing the window more than what they do on Cosmic.
Let's say I got boarding group 35 and knew they didn't enforce it. I'm not going to show up until 8p and will then bump you out of your boarding group 200 being called.

Rode today and my opinion is - its fun but schizophrenic - It starts out as a slam-bang coaster (that launch was way more intense than I expected) and then - as many have noted - it slams on the breaks and turns into a kiddie coaster with neon inside. Both halves are fun in of themselves, but they really seem like two completely different rides.

The first half is the only reason to wait more than 10 minutes to ride it. SM is much more thrilling than the 2nd half.

Only similar show building inclusion is RRC.

Anyone else excited to see the path to Barnstormer back?

It kind of doesn’t make much visual sense without the show building in this case. It’d look like a path to nowhere.
Also, it’s still surrounded by imaginary forests of trees I wish were actually there, so the fantasy yet lives!
Transparency!

It’s highly visible from the ride itself and paneled/painted to look like it’s not hidden. The coaster plainly goes into the building. Of course they included it. They’ve been including far more questionable ones like all of old Fantasyland (oh and all of the examples above).

To be fair, Star Tour's building size is greatly diminished here. Hard to showcase that something is there if you just include the trees out front.
The Land is less of the barren showbuilding and more a showcase of thematic components.
RRC is by far the most unnecessary inclusion, there's zero reason to include it on the map.
As for Tron, as @egg said above, it's hard not to include something so heavily featured in the park. If you don't include the building, what do you include?
Invent some fictional structure? Replace the building with trees and just leave the canopy? Not a perfect design choice (for the map makers). An overbearing show building on the project's overall visual composition should've been rectified far earlier in the design process.
