The black area? It's their clever way of hiding the smoke stains from the trains. As you said later, it's been there for a very long time.

It's clever. I just allowed my excitement of possibly finding something new to get the better of me.

What was the change to the queue?

Ditching the video games in the queue lines. The Disney Play app rendered them useless.

Actually, Space Mountain was originally proposed for Disneyland so no, it wasn't. (There we plans at one point to add the Matterhorn here too).I'd prefer WDW's SM stay unique with the two tracks and bobsled style. The point of our Space Mountain was to be the "Space Matterhorn". You know it's basically a clone of the Matterhorn, because you know all

This was posted a bit back, but screens displaying either stars or informational displays showing various nebulas/galaxies and their quantitative properties.

Screenshot from Cory Meets World livestream this morning.Looking at this new picture from @wdwmagic, it seems like we're getting another pattern on the building.
Random question: Those "metal" TTA supports at the entrance to the land are going to get changed back to the original retro white ones, right @marni1971?
I'm good with this.
It's one of the more popular armchair ideas. It'd be a easy move and quick gain for DHS. Problem remains though... what to do with the husk of a land that is Tomorrowland should it lose another attraction? TL needs new attractions! Then there's the vacant Stitch building and I can't imagine Buzz sticking around for another 10+ years. Armchairs unite! Someone throw Disney a bone. Why haven't they come up with serviceable attractions to revitalize TL? Oh... it's the $$$. Paint must be hella-expensive.

TL is near to my heart, and it is our favorite land because of SM, CoP, and TTA, but..... sad to say, it makes me wince when we go there. Seems like they can't decide on the paint, the style, the theme, or if it is even "tomorrow"-land. I'm hoping Tron will bring some sort of cohesion to the area.

Universal has the rights. So no go for Ant-Man ride replacing MK's Buzz.

Fresh Baked just did a video on the rumor for Disneyland's Tomorrowland.
Granted, it's a rumor but he's heard it twice now from two different sources:
Tear it down
Literally demolish all of it and rebuild something new saving Space Mountain and the Lagoon. It makes a lot of sense. Everything is so tightly integrated that you can't tear down one thing without possibly wreaking havoc on another. The Peoplemover was lost long ago.
Imagine if they did that at DL and then either built the Discoveryland (Jules Verne based) or even if they gave you something like a "Tomorrowland Mainstreet" like the 1994 version was supposed to be for MK (all new buildings and attractions).
It'd make a lot of sense at the Magic Kingdom, IMO, though you'd lose the Peoplemover.

Not me. I'd be cool with them rewriting Stitch and making it work. Doesn't have to be make-all, end-all amazeballs but a descent, serviceable show could/should/would have be attainable. Still don't really get why the shuttered it. Yeah it was a crap attraction but it had it's charms. It just needed a solid rewrite. I mean, if your going to do IP in Tomorrowland Stitch is THE ideal choice for an attraction. But I'm a broken record at this point. I don't think they know what to do with Tomorrowland.

I went on it once, just to see what it was, then never again. Even on a hot, sunny day as a walk-on, I'd skip it. Other rides, such as Ellen, you would still get on if nothing else but for some cold air and a nap (which says a LOT about Ellen) but Stitch didn't even warrant that.

It's an interesting concept, though:
Would you rather have a whole new Tomorrowland (thinking MK here) and lose the Peoplemover?
or
Would you rather keep the Peoplemover and things continue on the way they have been? (refurb rides, a paint job, that's about it)
If getting a whole new Tomorrowland meant them leveling Tomorrowland, save Space Mountain (I'd even be willing to toss that in at this point) AND we got a fantastic new land, I'd be for it. With the white-concrete look that just won't go away and the limitation of the buildings in question (all meant for different attractions), I think leveling it and starting over (it's been 50 years) might actually be a good thing.
...and yes I really love the Peoplemover and I like Space Mountain, both the majestic building and the wild-mouse coaster inside. Having an interesting land that isn't a Pixar dumping ground would be nice, though.

They could bring back Alien Encounter, the Diamond Horseshoe Jamboree and maybe something else (a new SpectroMagic? Magic Carpet 'Round the World?) for the 50th as a gimmick and say they're "bringing back old favorites" or something.
The Rocket Rods Track is on borrowed time. If that ties in with a larger project I don’t know but there are Track demo plans over there.

So they actually have looked into refurbing Tomorrowland at Disneyland? I'm honestly surprised.
