The new concrete design for the Tomorrowland walkway at the Magic Kingdom is heading across the bridge and towards the hub.


All of the cog-shaped patterns on the ground have been removed and replaced with a simple long gray strip of dark concrete along the center, bordered by a lighter shade on either side.

Underneath the sign, the concrete is shaped in a diamond pattern.

Construction has been underway for several months, and it looks like the project will soon be complete.

Yes, even better!

We want the Speedway to be demolished and replaced (although the ideal time to do it would have been before blocking everything in with TRON).

New mural at the Tomorrowland Speedway looks great!

I saw the pics over in the Tokyo thread and I agree there does look nice. Maybe when WDW finally announces our SM major refurbishment it will coincide with some other changes to the land as well. I think it’s about to start soon with BTTMR and Buzz wrapping up very soon. I’m curious on what other refurbishments that are planned but haven’t been announced yet. 🧐

They certainly hammered hard the fact that they were changing the castle back to its original color scheme in the press.

Which is the case with most projects.

They did remove DL's even uglier rocks at their Tomorrowland entrance a few years ago so that is a valid point.

I didn't say it wasn't happening, its just they haven't said much about it.

In my perfect world, they could rebuild the frames of the towers and have a water feature against a transparent surface so passengers on the peoplemover could still the castle.

It's definitely an improvement on the blue.

James AlucobondMar 13, 2026

I think it's at least better than the metallic blue. Now, it's a bit more like a transitional element from the hub even if it has no real relation to the land itself.

UNCgolfMar 13, 2026

It would be a lot better if they just tore them out rather than repainting. They don't make any sense now that 94 Tomorrowland is gone; why are there random rocks there?

My question is, how will the Walt scene work? I assume it’s gonna be in the loading scene, so will it be much shorter than the rest of the scenes to account for loading and unloading?
