1986 - House of the Future (Week Five)

[Mickeynerd17]

The theme for this land, no matter what we go with, should be Man vs Society

A good idea, but I worry that Man vs Society would be too close to modern political issues today, which in my humble opinion, don't belong in a theme park.

Not saying it's a bad idea, just I would rather this be more reflective on Man's progress.

Good idea nevertheless!

I'm personally not a fan of setting it on an alien planet, mainly just because I feel like at that point, we have to explain some things, and we all know what happens when we have any sort of backstory...

I also think we should try to keep it a bit more realistic than too sci-fi. I'd love a spiritual successor to Living With the Land and Horizons, focusing on what humans can do when we work against human nature to expand and instead work with the planet

Yea, good point there. It would be easier since Horizons is based on earth.

Even with it's futuristic technology and space stations, it was a depiction of an "achievable" future of 2086.

I think ours should reflect the future of 2120 or 2130.

I heard Sci-Fi Western Tomorrowland and this bad concept art instantly came to mind. I honestly don’t know why I ever made this...

The man vs (enter here) is just the literary device of conflict, it doesn't necessarily have to be traditional conflict. Using Man's progress is technically Man vs. Technology or Man vs Society. It's man going against some pre-established rule or device, then it's man vs.

So man developing a green world and getting rid of less green energies, is a Man vs Society topic. It's us going against our current societal conventions within our society and growing

Unfortunately you are right... we shouldn’t have too much of a backstory for this land, given the judges’ opinions.

Personally, I think a futuristic city on the ocean would be enough. An alien planet with unique ecosystem would be unique, but might threaten redoing AA.

I see your point. Your original idea just seemed a bit political at first, but I understand your point now. Carry on!

I like the idea of both a "seaport Tomorrowland" and a "futuristic cowboy Tomorrowland".

Not going to lie, this is actually a good idea for a buzz light-year ride or a shooting gallery. Definitely something to spice up the land. Love it!

It’s probably not fitting of green Tomorrowland, but if we go with cowboy Tomorrowland we should definitely use this!

I’m glad you are as excited about it as I was when I made it. I’d be down for it but depending on what direction we’re going, it would stick out like a sore thumb.

 

[Mickeynerd17]

Awright, for the architecture, I am vetoing ANYTHING that looks like a Starbucks in terms of brown, boxy architecture.

I want this land to have some 80's future design in its full glory. None of this coffeeshop, depressing stuff.

I think we should save Star Wars in the off chance we are given a Galaxy's Edge prompt. That being said, if we do get one of those, The Mandalorian should be our first go to

Not necessarily....

If I recall correctly, the Mandalorian visited the planet with the blue shrimp and the invaders. We could have it there themed to protecting the peaceful village. It wouldn't look cowboy that way.

I feel like Mandalorian wouldn't fit in an Epcot style Utopian Green Tomorrowland. So, if we don't go for space cowboy or soemthing like that, I think Mandalorian should be saved for a future round. Using the IP with the seaport theme feels like it would be a disadvantage both to the Mando and to the land.

Having one ride in the Utopia with X-S Tech (or a similar fictional company) showing the dark side progress and abusing the high tech stuff we're discussing could be a really interesting way to add a slight bit of thrill and enrich the thematic meaning of our land by exploring the core theme from a different angle. But with green/utopia/epcot/progress city Tomorrowland going too far into the dark side might clash. But 1 ride could be good.

Radical idea... but kids these days don't get excited by Cowboys. At least not the same way they did in the 50s. But ya know what place they do like?

Change Frontierland to Galaxyland.

(This would have no impact on Green Tomorrowland, I'm just thinking about future prompts)

 

[NigelChanning]

Here’s an idea to replace the Mandalorian. An Iron Man attraction where Tony Stark travels to the bottom of the Ocean to stop Ulysses Klaue (accompanied by some weaponized drones and other supervillains) from stealing highly valuable Vibranium.

Well... They did fit GotG in the universe of energy pavilion, so....

Honestly, in light of things coming out in 2020, I’d prefer GotG to Ellen any day.

Agreed, but honestly, they didn't have to fully GUT the thing. There were plenty of ways to reutilize the current system, but nope! Let's just kill 35 years of history in a couple months, no problem.

(I'm still a bit salty about that )
