News Tomorrowland love

[ImperfectPixie]

Seems a bit of a callback to the film.

Looks nice, I think.

I know I'm a rarity with this opinion, but I love the movie (I found it very inspiring), and thought the visuals were spectacular.

Needs some caulk. Is it stainless or aluminum? Metal is going to get dented. Fits in with Tron Legacy.

I agree - those seams aren't pretty. At the place I worked, we would have used aluminum for the lack of rust.

I think the two Eiffel Tower style bases look old fashioned and out of place with the clean, Eero Saarinen inspired design of the sign. Although I don't love it, I think it's a definite improvement on what was there before. Now I hope all the other cartooney junk slapped onto the buildings will come off too.

You are late to the party on that last point. The changes have been underway for quite some time.

Yep...they've got top men working on it.

TOP. MEN.

I think my dislike currently is because the sign just doesn't fit with what's behind it. Looking at the sign again, it... has potential. I want to see the rest of Tomorrowland get a facelift, and see it for myself, before giving any further opinions.

The sign is underwhelming and it looks like it get lost with everything that is in the land in the backround. I am assuming it lights up and maybe stand out more at dark. Otherwise, it looks like a plain but gleaming white archway.

Now if only that film had been better*...

But if that's the general style of the aesthetic they're going for I think it's a great choice for the next 15-20 years of this land.


*I was so excited for it - maybe my hopes were just too high.

Thats Awesome!!! Really wish they did this.

I'm all for simplifying, but this is a little too minimalist for my tastes
.

 

[KBLovedDisney]

Yes!

Now, that works.

Now please get rid of the giant gear on the ground underneath the sign.

Now please get rid of the giant gear on the ground underneath the sign.

I'd expect a full land repavement project to start a few months before Tron opens, once all the other land updates are finished

Blog Mickey has the latest.

Fantastic news. Hopefully they'll get something big going for Space Mountain next.

Change it to make it the same’ mmm sneaky ..

 

[britain]

They need to remove that yellow sticker from under the 'M'.

 

[Donaldfan1934]

Yes!

Indeed. The sign works well with the original designs for the land overhaul.

Where the random wall painting efforts are coming from though I don’t know.

Will the land continue to just be touched up in the piecemeal fashion it has so far, or will we at some point see that give way to genuine construction for an actual overhaul?

That photo @trainplane3 posted with the old spires behind the new sign is genuinely stunning, and it really draws into clearer focus how poorly the new sign fits with the current land. I'm sure the spires aren't returning, but I'm only interested in a new Tomorrowland if they really commit to a strong unified vision throughout. Otherwise I'd rather stick with The Tomorrow That Never Was and Always Will Be.

I'm wondering if the Theme Building at LAX was the design influence:

Perhaps they're going with the sleek aesthetics of the early Space Age.
