I can't believe how much progress has been done in the past 3 weeks, versus the past 3 years. So bummed to be missing this next month.

The physical sets in Mummy are great, but the thrill is very lacking; I rode it again last week & it feels so slow to me. Guardians is much more thrilling & fun, but yeah it's just a bunch of screens in a dark building. It's sort of the opposite of what Universal & Disney usually do tbh.

Mummy has supposedly been purposely slowed down since the refurb. The dark ride scenes were extended so you could get more of the effects. The coaster parts are definitely more intense than Guardians though. Way more G's and the launches are seemingly way faster to me. The coaster parts are just broken up between the scenes.. I sort of wish the guardians ride had more show scenes like the beginning launch so the story wasn't only loud music and muffled shouting.

I agree but I think they wanted to match the frenetic pacing of the films. Slowing down mid-course isn’t how the stories are really told.

All of the foliage is a pleasant surprise. Maybe they’ll figure something out from Storybook Circus.

Trees don't exist in the future/tomorrow!

They should have used the metallic palm trees in Tomorrowland that have solar cells and they open and close every day and night!!!

It seems like they were trying to match the color scheme of Space Mountain, but this thing could really use a little more blue like the Shanghai original. It feels very flat during the daytime.

Yeah, blue trim would have been nice.

Having lush tree filled surroundings is working out well for the overall aesthetic imo.

It's looking really, really good today even compared to the already wonderful pictures from Monday just posted to this thread. About five more arched lights have been added to the individual planters in the forecourt, the tiered planters to the right of the entrance now look 100% complete, and they're preparing for even more paving. I would be fairly shocked if the path through to Storybook didn't look essentially finished by next Friday. There may be delay in landscaping the area beyond the train tracks until they wrap up installation of elements around the emergency stairway, but this is really coming together.

im interested in the backstage pathway to the speedway maintenence building, it almost looks like it will be a split pathway back there for some reason

Pretty sure it just has a couple of mid-path planting islands to help further break up backstage views.

Frontline CMs are starting to find out about opening team, I feel like previews may start before or even directly after Christmas.

Not that soon.

Maybe they want the exterior done soon for promo shoots as part of the Christmas Parade tapings?
