Sadly, the Circus still isn’t treated like a legitimate part of the MK. The giant green box behind Dumbo has already proven that.

Would the canopy be built after all the track is placed? Or will they work on both projects simultaneously?

Track first, various building structures second, show scenes last. There's pictures of Shanghais completely built out in the open and then everything else went up around it.

I don't understand how people will enter this area - only through the small sidewalk between the Speedway and Space Mountain? I guess I thought the whole purpose of closing the Speedway was to make that pathway bigger for traffic flow but they didn't even touch that area??
The walkway from Fantasyland by Barnstormer should help with the traffic flow once or if it's reopened.

Man, the Speedway has shrunk so much from when I worked there.

Well, at least bridge doesn't have to run as far to restart the cars.. lol. (Ah the pre-WEDway days. When the tunnels were already in the buildings and ... well, saw a lot of unauthorized usage..

I'm going to hold final judgement till I see it in person.
I like odd things so my first judgement is I just think it's going to look cool as hell. Getting off Space Mountain and going right onto Tron is something I'm looking forward to as well and unlike other people, I see that as a reason to be excited and not just complain about how it doesn't fit
EDIT: To make it more clear, what I'm trying to say is for me the fact that I'll be able to get off SM and go onto Tron is great and outweighs the negatives that others bring up that it's dumb to have two indoor coasters next to each other and the architecture differences

I agree.
I think it's going to look beautiful and is a much needed improvement.

Nice! This is from about 60 pages back, but I did a mockup with the concept art and Google Maps

A great Photoshop! I couldn't quite understand the direction/placement of the building until this, thank you!
EDIT: Also thank you @LukeS7, I'm getting it even more, thank you. I don't think sightlines will be too bad... there can be discussions about the clashing of SM and Tron, but in all, I think this is a needed addition.

I will say though, I think the sightline I'm worried about most is SM cutting off the view of half of the canopy... Tron is a great structure, its a shame to hide it.
It's a big thread, so, easy to miss, but GMTA!
And another view. The height of the box and photo represents the height of the peak of the canopy peaks. The rest of the canopy and the gravity building are about 10 meters lower.
