The Ren LAX is going to get a bit noisier than now with that path for the people mover. Also, Randy's Donuts is gonna get a lot of foot traffic in the future.

The biggest problem with all of the modernization elements is to make access to your terminal longer and longer. Who's going to want to take this mover to and from T4/5/6/7/8/9? I'll make the walk across the central area but larger groups and those with lots of luggage are gonna have challenges.

Edit: re-viewing the video shows that its really after T1 and T7 that the walk across the middle gets longer the way that they've routed the mover - too bad they didn't have it stop at the Theme Building.
