Maybe it's designed to suck any remaining money out of you pockets.

Just a guess, the way they are pointed up, they could be there to pull hot air out of the tunnel providing some air circulation in case the train got stuck in the tunnel.

Bathrooms are the last frontier of themed entertainment. I really hope this one aesthetically fits right into the Tron universe, maybe with stall doors that light up blue if vacant and orange if occupied, an awesome soundtrack, etc.
Their recent efforts have been improving, which gives me hope.

Wow they really speed it up!
It takes usually a week to have a foundation poured, be able to dry and then receive the wall wooden frame on top of it..
Then it takes another week to have the wall wooden frame done, the concrete to be poured, and the wall itself to dry..
If they continue at this speed, they should be able to finish the entire plaza by the end of the month.
I don’t think they will be able to finish the wall along the railroad and the wall in-between which needs the railroad wall to be finished to end on it (if it makes sense…)
Based on this, we can expect August to be focus on:
- Railroad tracks
- Plaza slab
If they work quick enough, we can even think that they will start cosmetic works and vegetations…
After that, they only have to (perhaps) add tiles to the plaza and the elevated path (as per Shanghai), the railing and the entrance canopy.
Again.. no movement at the Tommorowland Lights & Power but I imagine they just need to finish the corner on the entrance side. They will open up the back and just refresh/paint the whole and… TADA!
Though it’s very tight to imagine opening in October… November could be, but they never opened anything in November before….
December the 5th (Walt birthday..) is usually their spot..
It would be a shame as I am going just before thanksgiving… so if any cast members are in this forum to give me access to a preview against dinner… give me a shout! Haha

I think if that were the case, the duct would be centered in the top of the tunnel to catch the exhaust as it's being sent up from the chimney. I don't see Disney pulling soot and fumes below the area they're being exhausted from in such a tight space
Edit: after looking at the picture again, I suppose that's what it could be for. When I replied to your comment, after briefly looking at the photo, I didn't realize how high up the duct branches were going

LOL -- nothing screams early 20th century circus more than Marvel and Star Wars merchandise!

At this point it's no more worse than the bland selection of shopping in the rest of the park.
Main Street at this point has almost nothing to do with the early 20th century beyond the original building exteriors.

Oh yeah, I've complained for a long time about how they've completely ruined merchandise and shopping overall throughout the parks. The items are mostly homogenous (you could just go to World of Disney and find almost anything you might want because it's mainly the same stuff everywhere) and they've stripped away much of the theming too.

I don't usually have insider info, but I heard from someone in the know that the ride is nowhere near ready and all the speculative opening dates are wrong.

I just came back from MK and had lunch with a trusted friend and CM...not doubting ^^^ but from what they said is the ride, like Rat, is pretty much a go except bell's and whistles of the queue and the outside landscaping. The opening timeline will look similar to RaT. It'll sit done and ready to go until Disney is ready to open it. That date, thy had no clue.
