"Neon" lights at Soarin'
Here's a random discovery: the neon-looking lights in the queue area of Soarin' are not actually neon, which surprised me. Close inspection reveals they are solid hard plastic, semi-clear, which means there must be blue light behind them. (Image linked from google images)

I was actually in line with an Imagineer who worked on the queue and he said that they were led lights behind a special plastic that diffused the light out to look like neon. It runs cool and can be formed in a much broader range of shapes than neon.
There is a building downtown Minneapolis with these types of lights on the skyway level.
