Disneyworlds Tomorrowland really needs a redo. Its now some weird hybrid of the 90s tomorrowland and the 70s one. That area of the land really needs a big refresh with not only the look of it but the rides that are in it as well.

Just like stitch here they cant seem to come up with what to do with their Tomorrowland. There is just no vision anymore sadly.

You know, I was actually looking over the history of Tomorrowland, and I never knew that George Lucas ,at one point, was asked for his version of a Tomorrowland that actually looked futuristic.
Now design wise, it does fit the name, "Tomorrowland", just as well as this concept which was made in the 50s, envisioning what it should look like.
All in all, i think the concepts that they have for these, really make me yearn for something like this now. Just based off these 2 concepts, (even the 50s one, which looks way ahead of its time) I hope influences what a new tomorrowland would look like. Although I'd love for Space mountain to stay there, I wish they could expand the area.

In the George Lucas Tomorrowland there was going to be, if I remember correctly, a country bear style musical review with aliens. Any future version of Tomorrowland must include that.

I am assuming it will be in a constant state of redo. I wouldn't be surprised if they don't even finish the cosmetic update.

The stitch area is an insult...prime space and zero guest experience. Dollar for dollar, it’s the most expensive area that is returning no sales or use. Turn it into a damn shop, ride, or restaurant.
I feel the same way about the Tomorrowland terrace.

It really is amazing that the world’s most visited theme park has abandoned and underutilized dining, retail and attraction space.

It shows the arrogance of Disney. They know they don't have to do anything to that area.

as long as the people mover is still there im happy (id even be ok...not happy but ok.. with new bodies) ... btw id rather have the pillars from the 70s than the ones in the drawing.... I really wonder if they regret destroying them.

I wrote an article detailing the history of Tomorrowland at the Magic Kingdom.

That is one thing I always worry about. It was having so many problems before the parks closed constantly shutting down, cars bumping into each other, cones in seats..., I worry the bean counters will just say ax it.

IMHO, it’s too popular to axe. Disney wouldn’t be able to handle the public/social media backlash! Thankfully they keep releasing PeopleMover merchandise. Vote with your wallet. The bean counters understand that better than operations. I do hope it gets the maintenance it needs, though...

hopefully the backlash from Disneyland removing theirs helps as well

Disneylanders still regularly talk about it, too. I can say that as someone that was an AP holder to the DLR for many years, the empty PeopleMover tracks have been a glaring sore spot and blight to an otherwise truly fantastic park. Tomorrowlands have always had their problems but IMHO, a PeopleMover truly ties the land together. Without it, it feels sad. Kinetic energy is so important, and the ride itself is meant to make you look forward what you will experience within the land itself (which perfectly reflects the inspiration of Tomorrowland itself - an exciting and positive outlook towards the future.)
That said, Tomorrowland needs far more than just the PeopleMover to be exciting. Having an unused show building like Stitch is a real shame. Whatever eventually replaces it, I truly hope it goes back to Tomorrowland’s original inspiration of a positive outlook on the future.

Whatever they put in the Stitch spot, it would be nice to have an original ride concept instead of another IP based attraction. I can't remember the last time a Non-IP attraction was added.
