Dude they already said they were talking about the unused tracks at Disneyland... FOR FUTURE REFERENCE people please use specifics when you are talking about attractions closures/removals. This is how rumors get started...

Great photos. Those painted rocks are looking pretty rough.

Aren't all rocks supposed to look pretty rough !?

I wonder if they will remove them like they did in Disneyland. It looks so much cleaner. And with that new clean land entrance sign, they just don't fit.

I like the rocks. They give the land some needed texture and visual contrast. There's only two problems... there isn't enough of them and the rocks don't look "alien". Painting them metallic purple just makes them look like metallic purple-painted Earth rocks. If their goal was to give them an otherworldly appearance, they failed. Where's the toxic acid waterfalls, the alien spores, the whimsical flora and space shrooms? A happy balance between "Pandora" and "The Jetsons" would be the ideal visuals for Tomorrowland, IMO. Or at least make for a good complimentary backdrop to the rest of the land. Another way to tie it all together...

I like the rocks.

I don't like rocks. They're coarse and rough and irritating and they get everywhere.

You shouldn't take them for granite! They're one of the boulder additions to Tomorrowland.

Yes thanks we established that, I was making a joke in reference to the idea that wdw PM was closing.

I had two kid moments that stuck with me. Cronkites going into 180 top and hitting the music at the instrumental crescendo with the cymbals crash as we first saw the earth, and also going into the Horizons outer space scene just as it’s music also hit the right moment.

I get chills just thinking about it. The speed tunnel in WOM and the original finale in Imagination do it for me too.

At the time, classic WDI knew how to evoke emotions better than the film/animation studio.

So...we have any updates on a possible refurb to COP...I feel like it’s been a long time since this was mentioned. With the 50th around the corner is it still on track to happen?

EDIT: and Happy Anniversary to COP & Space!

They really built them good back then using the highest quality steel ...

Agreed. Back in the day, a good, sturdy Wild Mouse Ride wasn't much of a challenge. They were pretty much bullet proof!
