Disneyland's Tomorrowland vs Magic Kingdom's Tomorrowland

[DisneyAndUniversalFan]

The last of the castle lands! Which is the better land, you think?

Disneyland's Tomorrowland

Magic Kingdom's Tomorrowland

I voted for disneyland's simply because it has the better attractions:
No stitch
Better space mountain
you can move the gun in astro blasters
star tours
the subs are still a thing

yes! me too! DL has better attractions than MK's. Plus, the cars (Autopia are also way better in DL than MK's version).

DL’s Tomorrowland is the ugliest land between the two parks. WDW wins for the Peoplemover alone.

My pick is Magic Kingdom since it does have the original Space Mountain, Astro Orbiter is positioned high up on a tower instead of just sitting in the entrance of the land and the overall kinetics felt in the area with the much loved Tomorrowland Transit Authority People Mover. In a few years it will only be better once the Tron Lightcycles soar overhead and they figure out what to do with the pest Stitch.

Hands down, the Magic Kingdom!

Disneyland has the better Space Mountain, Autopia, and Star Tours. On the other hand MK has the Carousel of Progress and a People Mover that actually works. Um, tied.

This one was tough because I like the attractions at DL better (SM, Autopia, Buzz are better than their WDW counterparts and I can ride Star Tours without having to take bus to get there) but as an overall land MK's gets the vote. I like the aesthetics there much more than I do at DL and having the Asto Orbiter up high where it belongs and the People Mover running gives the land kinetics that are greatly missing at the DL version (though I do like the submarine lagoon and the monorail at DL).

If you were to combine elements of both, you might be on to something, but neither one comes together. WDW at least has COP and the Peoplemover. DL has a superior more charming car ride and the train ride through the Grand Canyon and Jurassic Park. Space Mountain the line is way better in Florida for the music and the 3D space windows that look like the ending shot of Star Trek II.

This is the only land that I think is pretty clear cut. DL's tomorrowland seems like a neighborhood that everyone gave up on. People mover tracks are an obvious scar, rocket jets tower sits stationary, the Mary Blair murals were covered up, the Carousel Theater building has been a kludge since Innoventions, etc. Autopia admittedly beats the speedway for sure. Buzz and Space are both ties in my book. MK with Carousel of Progress and the People mover put it easily over the edge. And don't forget Sunny Eclipse!

the Mary Blair murals were covered up

Actually the murals were torn down, there's a video somewhere of a construction crew doing the job. I will link it here if I find it.
EDIT: Found this a lot faster than I thought I would

Warning: Very sad

Oh that's right, I forgot. Very sad indeed.

Why does the WDW Buzz entrance look like the opening of a Dairy Mart or some convenience store?

Because they slapped it together with tacky signs using the Delta Dreamflight entrance, which had a kind of minimalist retro airport sort of look but decidedly strip mall, which you also find in DL's Tomorrowland.

Put another way... if they decided to level Disneyland's Tomorrowland outside Space Mountain and start over I don't think most of us would mind.

If they levelled Magic Kingdom's Tomorrowland outside of Space Mountain we'd be ed about COP, Star Jets and the People Mover. Plus we'd lament the waste of budget on the flanking show buildings that are reasonably large and perfectly reusable.

Since when do you use the reply button?

I have a really hard time believing Disney is keeping a Carousel of Progress up to be something worth keeping.

BOOO HISSSSSSSSS.

COP's removal would actually upset me. Goth Brian would come out.

Lol the more the merrier I say.

We all have a tiny little goth seed inside. And Disney is more than capable of cultivating them all to sprout and grow for years to come.
