TTA Refurbishment on schedule?

Any indication the elevator is being painted red like the Starjets era???

Exterior is green as of 7/12

that green screams 'primer' to me

Too bad, as it looks like Fenway Park's green.

It's the same green that it had before the refurb

it may not be, but it doesn't look glossy, like an oil-based paint should be in exterior, high UV application.

 

[dstrawn9889]

well, i'll be, did not remember it as that color, but looking back in my pictures, there it is.

 

[dstrawn9889]

paint in that situation would turn chalky pretty quickly, being low-lustre

Those windows look into the space where the spinning light effect is before the Speedroom on Buzz.

Originally they looked into a scene in If You Had Wings that was located there. When the attraction was redone to Dreamflight and the "jet engine" lighting effect was the only thing there, they covered over those windows.

Edit:
According to this blueprint, it was the New Orleans scene that those windows looked down into:

And the windows that look into Buzz now, plus the ones where the hairdresser scene are now, looked down into the Caribbean/Puerto Rico area.

You'd think they would at least use one window as a digital screen Door for Mike Wazowski and a bunch of Prop doors for decor to inform them about the Laugh floor. It always seems quiet after Buzz lightyear is mentioning his attraction in the tunnel..

The red with the white and blue is a bit too patriotic to me. I'll reserve judgement until we see what they do with the rest.

Well..something's going on at the top of the elevator...Here's a cropped pic of mine from the other side taken early October. Look at the top portion and compare it...

Minus the lights (which could be temporary for MNSSHP) the rails* are red now

*Edit: At the top

Maybe they are trying to make the elevator lift similar to the old lifts during the Apollo years?

Could be. I'll take some more pics this weekend if there are any changes

Yes, the railings at the top of the elevator are now a red/orange color. Apparently, the rest of the elevator structure will be that color once they are done. I'm not sure I would like to see a Tomorrowland in all orange and red. It just screams 70s/80s. Didn't the Tomorrowland Terrace / Plaza Pavilion have this color scheme once?

Blue and Silver will always in my mind be classic and define tech and the future. I guess we will see how it looks.

I love retro NASA. Not sure how it meshes with Tomorrowland though. Time will tell.

It would be even better if the placed a replica Saturn V rocket attached to the elevator from the ground level. Would make a great photo op.

The elevator cage used to be red before the 90's redo...

Well, hopefully it will have that retro look again...I like it!

I agree, I know people love the streamlined blue and white etc, and it is nice but I am liking the retro red, so far.
