Ok So what I am going to try and do with Tomorrowland is try and just glorify what is already there! Futureworld at epcot is about looking to the future as it could be! and Tomorrowland 2.0 will be similar in the futuristic portion of it but its mainly on the theme of "the future that never was". Much like in DHS where its the Hollywood that never was, but always will be! This transformation of the tomorrowland is something I feel could be done and I think should be done to bring the spark back into the Magic Kingdom!

Tomorrowland 2.0

- Tomorrowland 2.0 is the futuristic city that never was. A retro look back to the golden age of Space Exploration, Fascination, and Mystery. The part of your imagination that takes you to outer space, encounter aliens, fly on UFO's and even Visit the house of the Future. This new improved land will have all of this and more for you and your family to enjoy. This is an out of this world experience that will have something for everyone to dream about.

(The look of the new Tomorrowland is very much the same. The whole futuristic city like atmosphere will stay the same but some cosmetic changes on the Monster laugh floor, Stitchs great escape, and buzz lightyear. More lights will be added and to create the in space feel at night, The ground will all be covered in those lights that are around spaceship earth, giving it a very galactic atmosphere and a brighter more crisp themed scheme.)

ATTRACTIONS!

I will first talk about the attractions that are staying the same with just some touch ups and then which ones are new!

Space Mountain- Still to be the Main Attraction in terms of thrills, This new space Mountain will be a whole new ride and track system (double seated like disneylands) and have a completely different track. The rides thrill level will be greater but we will have less rocky and bumpy turns and twists like were in an asteroid feild and more like we are gliding through space! The new space Mountains interior will also feature many new effects of planets orbiting and meteorites flying through the pitch black!

Carousel Of Progress-As old as this ride is! it is still a Disney Classic and can't be taken down. I want to take one of the scenes in there and change it up a bit. I think there is not enough gap at the beggining and then they jumpr right into the future. The 40's scene should come and then a scene of maybe the 70's or 80's and then have a new futuristic scene that is more up to date with what could be the future for us nowadays. Have those hologram screens being used and projections(this stuff is really in the works for us right now.) And a cosmetic and AA clean up would be great!
Here is a look at some technology I hope to be here buy the time the 2.0 version would start but on a much grander scale!



Astro Orbiter- This ride will stay the same and just get a fresh new coat of paint and all the planets once again spinning and looking great from the distance. As a ride with great wait times, I think adding a second elevator will do some good to keep ride waiting to a minimal or atleast make it move faster! Something new in the works here is a new ride similar but just a small ways away from the Astro Orbiter!

U.F.O Galaxy Gliders- This new ride similar to the Astro Orbiter will be where the Galaxy Palace Theater currently is and will be a spinner but with a twist. The ride itself is a UFO and It can go up and down just like the Astro Orbiter, BUT the ride also is spinning at the same time. The UFO's are on a leg that rotates(not to quickly so you don't get sick) but its still a fun idea. Now there is contrasting Space Vehicle that can give you a nice view of the City and fun sensation of flying a UFO. Here is some quick concept art I did(not very well lol. Didn't have much time this week to do art! sorry for the sloppy drawings)Underneath the ride will be a new quick eating area called UFO landing!

IMG_0475_zpscb5ea54a.jpg


The Mysterious Planet- This ride will take the place of Stitchs Great Escape and be a new version of the once "Alien Encounter". This ride will be more on the scary thrill and not all lovey dovey like stich. I think Disney needs an attraction like this to balance the scare level of Haunted Mansion and some other rides in other parks. But any way here is th description

The city of Tomorrowland is home to a corporation known as; The TOMORROWLAND APP( aks Alien Protection Program) and in this version of the ride you are training to be a member of the team and help alien species all over the galaxy that need help are endangered. In this ride your team starts off by entering the briefing room where you learn what will happen and what to expect and some of the dangers of certain aliens. As you board the take off zone(where skippy is now or X-s tech area where the aliens are shown in the tubes) You enter the room and meet Bernie S. Kippy( I wanted the ride to be completely new but with some alien encounter references) This area now has seating for as many as can fit and behind him now is a screen where you see a visual aspect of us leaving the space station and launching into space, Once we reach the out limits we are allowed to restrain the seatbelts.(its a short simulator second briefing rooms) Bernie explains to us that we are going to the Planet of Caloore to bring the baby alien back to his home that we rescued on a previous mission.

During the flight we are told we are now ready for boarding the Portal Chamber. In this section we are learning how we send the Alien back home without human contact. In the new Portal chamber room the look is all different with much more human realistic look to it. and the viewing screen are back.( the seats them selves are more comfortable and the restraints are more like a rollercoaster look to them instead of those that come down and hurt your shoulders. The rows also rotate around the room like to get new angles of the portal chamber but eventually do lock into place) When we arrive on the planet we are warned by the captain that it look peculiar that way the planet is. The planet is much more dark and crater filled and swampy looking. After we landed the Co-pilot already lowered the portal tube to the surface of Caloore. The captain notices some movement around the base of the tube(being viewed as outside, But still inside like security camera footage). The camera then brakes as you hear something roar a scary screech and then the captain says raise the portal quickly and the flight back hom start immediately. As we are on the way home we hear banging from inside the teleportation tube. The captain thinks we have something inside the ship.

This is where the attractions gets scary and much like Alien Encounter. The captain then alerts the guards to stand by and tell the crew aboard to remain still and quiet. The lights start to flicker and the power starts to dim. The captain is listening in on the guards below the deck through a monitor system. the whole Crew(guests) can also hear the sounds of the guards fighting the monster. The monitor goes fuzzy and static. The captain warns us he is going to turn of the power to keep the alien from seeing us. The alien is heard through the tube portal. as he climbs to the top he then bursts out and screeches at the audience. The alien escapes in the ship and tears down the controls as fog starts to roll and cover the room. Little bursts of electric sparks ignite at random power line ends that have been torn. The only thing left to do is to get rid of the alien but HOW? The captain turns on the portal and it lights up the room and alien drawing the alien to the portal. As the alien approaches the portal the captain has already hit the 10 second dispatch button. The time is ticking and we all eagerly await the alien to land in the tube. This is the only chance they have before all power is gone and we cant shoot him out again! will the alien land in the portal before the clock hits 3....2.....1!? Just in the time the alien is sent flying out into the deep portions of never to be seen again. The shop then has a landing back at the station and guests exit into a new shop where you can take home 1 of many different alien species they have collected at the research lab(stuffed animals that are unique to that giftshop)

( I don't have much more time so I am trying to speed up the posting because I could go into so much detail but Unfortunately am losing time fast! The alien itself is a new species and will be an AA that come out in multiple places not just the tube and sounds around you. Here is a drawing I made of him quick. Very lizard/ INsect like is what I was going for)

Here are two more photos. both of these Aliens are just concept and I am sure it would change before the final alien is chosen.
IMG_0472_zps5efc31db.jpg


EARTH ROVERS!- In this new E-ticket, this ride takes you through the EPB(environmental Preservation Bay) to collect energy needed to power the city. In the Future we learned new ways to preserve Nature at its finest using the Energy we get from it in an efficient way so not to destroy the earth. This ride is basically like a giant Green House(very land/imagination inspired.) This green house is unlike anything seen before though. The EPB has everything from storms inside it to trees and moutains, to animals and waterways. Its basically the last of natural earth brought into a small green house.

From the outside you can see a portion of the EPB and that's where the queue is as you meander through a Northern woods mountain side with pine trees and creeks. Then you enter into the testing facility where you are briefed on what to find and then you board the Earth ROvers. WHile inside the EPB a huge storm is approaching and lighting and tornados wreak havoc . Its a thrilling journey to gather energy for tomorrowland in this contained but ferocious environment the future has created. (similar to ride system in test track but more like an emv with higher speeds) NOT SCARY just fast like thunder mountain speeds. Still a family ride.

The ride first takes you through the north woods where the power of the north woods is being analyzed and collected. The storm starts to form as you are released into the next chamber:the desert

In the Desert biome the heat is very harsh as your vehicle is in a sand storm and approaching quick sand pit. Your vehicle escapes barely from the quicksand as it enters the tundra

The cold climates are horrible here in the blizzard area. The snow is coming down hard as a pack of wolves are after your vehicle. through caves and mountains you dodge the wolves in the knick of time.

the next stop takes you through the fields of praries and you are in the middle of the storm here lightning tornados and gusts of wind surround the rover. You hurry through the fields to barely escape the extreme winds.

The final stop on the tour of the biomes is the rainforest where its a storm of, your guessed it! RAIN. The rains begins to flood the portion of the jungle you have explored and hungry panthers nearly let you escape its claws!

Finally you return to the lab and import the environmental power! (I wanted for this ride to be more mature but have the theme of walle of preservation but in a more lifelike setting!)

(I don't want this ride to be to Furute World and I know some people will say it doesn't belong here but I like the idea and for my vision of Tomorrowland it fits well as a real world yet fictitious city of the future. It takes up the space of Laugh Floor and Buzz Lightyear. I know its taking up both of those attractions but its holds a lot of guest with its size, number of vehicles, pace and length so many guest go through and out quickly. I wanted to the get ride of the characters in tomorrowland because I feel they don't fit well enough. DHS already has a tsm(similar to BSRS) and monster inc coaster possibly. Here is a quick drawn from the outside look at the EPB
244_zpsd9be0596.jpg

These photos show how the biomes section will look and the chamber passage ways connecting to the next environment!

Promise Of Tomorrow- This ride is very Old school inspired. This ride will take you through the city of Tomorrowland that we don't get to step foot in. This dark ride is very Meet the Robinsons and Spaceship earth welcome to your future inspired) the queue takes you through a new version of Walt Disneys "House of the Future" and then you load into your new Space Driver in your futuristic garage for a fast paced winding and turning and dipping journey through Tomorrowland to look at what it all offers. It will take you through the futures home and family, to vacations spots, to the city, to the future of space and then much much more. It will be very fun and great for families(here is an image of the ride vehicle I drew) this ride I forgot to mention is taking over the speedway! The ride itself will be very Meet the Robinsons feel. You will encounter weird characters like in the family and along the way visit place that have the same 50's futuristic vibe to it! here is the basic outline of the attraction

-First you walk through a model home of the future and the story is you are the chosen family to live the dream life and live in this city of tomorrow and in the new House of the Future. The ride starts off with you and your family or (party) at the time gathering a card like system (for ex. E.T. or TT) and you enter your name into the card and your car is a personal guide to the city and lifestyle of the future.

-The ride then takes you on twisting and turning fly through the city. It takes yout through the futuristic park and recreation areas as well as your local grocery store, school systems, and your own work place. The ride is then ends up back at the house where you are greeted with the keys to the house as your are the chosen family of the new house of the future. On the way out is a gift shop set in the houses second living room and has interactive elements into it keeping the theme alive throughout the whole place.

Well that's my take on the current TOMORROWLAND! The TTA I didn't go into because It will mainly stay the same with some new audio, new paint, and some new views based on the new attractions I listed. I hope you guys like it and don't hate me for changing all the characters out! I cold write more just not a enough time! Thanks for reading! (also all eating areas will remain the same and what not!)

ok heres what ive got in mind.. not sure if an invite was necessary but here goes.. bring back a slightly water downed alien encounter, scrap the speedway and build a massive building that would feature a living seas style moon base and the majority of the building would be filled with a fake moon-scape. EMV lunar rovers would take guests an a speedy and rough race through craters and caverns on the moon 's surface... there is a lot of room where the tomorrowland stage was behind space ranger spin and CoP. maybe an extension of Tomorrowland based of Port Discovery and DisneySea ....... let me no what u think

Welcome to TOMORROWLAND!
Attractions;
-Galactic Adventure!: Take a cruise across the universe, sponsored by XS-Eco, lifting off from the Tomorrowland Interplanetary Convention Center. XS-Eco is flying you to their "headquarters in the sky" space station to discuss the developing ties between humans and aliens. All XS wants to do is "seize a peaceful future!" (they have a bad record though). However, right when the XS HQ comes into view, you are struck by a meteor storm, and your automated space-cruise is sent off course. You go on a wild space race, running into an alien gang, the GalacticFederationPolice, an asteroid belt, until you finally return to Tomorrowland, receiving a recorded apology on behalf of XS-Eco. This ride would use the newly patented hanging ride system featured in news and rumors.
-A Dimension Away: Travel with Professor Think S. Alot's 360* probe cameras into the black hole in the Milky Way's center, only to land on an alien Earthly planet, presented by the Viewliner College Outreach School at the Tomorrowland Metropolis Science Center. Your probe is investigated by a group of aliens but it is then sent through the odd landscape, flowing down a river, launching over a waterfall, propelling up a mountain, and landing once again in a "typical" urban alien neighborhood. Just as these alien authorities arrive, your probes engine is able to start, and you take off into space traveling back through the black hole, when the camera in the probe goes dark. The Professor decides the probe is fine and will arrive any minute, so he begins to send you out. Suddenly there is a loud crash and a probe's end sticking through the roof (a la PhilharMagic).
-Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin: Join Star Command cadets in an epic battle versus evil emperor Zurg! Marching into battle from the Star Command Headquarters. Most of this attraction would remain the same, but the alien ideal and queue would be somewhat more "real-alien-like" rather than toys.
-Astro Orbiter: Revolve around the most fantastic celestial beings in the universe, loading at Rockettower Plaza. Not much change here, but all effects such as lights would be efficiently fixed/upkept. Also, the elevator would a futuristic "facade" like a rocket cannon almost (a la SM: Mission 2).
-Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover: Travel above downtown Tomorrowland on this peaceful cruise in the sky! Loading at Rockettower Plaza. A new narration here would make it once again seem like the way for aliens and humans alike to get around the bustling streets of Tomorrowland.
-The Galaxy Palace Gardens: An area that once contained the Galaxy Palace Theater has become a futuristic area containing topiaries all wealthy aliens would die to have. There would also be a kind of Victorian labyrinth.
-Tomorrowland SuperHighway: This new take on the "Flying Saucers" (didn't copy, as this was already my plan and was even already rumored at one point) would give you a new way to race around with your family and/or friends. Located at Exit 94-Rockettower Plaza. Would take up the Carousel of Progress building (CoP moved to Epcot).
-Space Mountain: Go on a journey to wit's end and back, on a twisty runny adventure. Launching to the skies at the Rockettower Plaza SpacePort. This ride would receive updated effects in the queue and in the space portion. It would receive some new track, excluding the lift tunnel/load & unload. At night SM would come alive with vibrant colors illustrating the galactic life among the city of Tomorrowland.
-The Astronomy Awards: This comical show with live actors, AAs and video screens will display to people what the Academy Awards would look like in a future where aliens and humans live, and make movies, peacefully together. Located on Interstellar Drive.
-Area 52: This KUKA arm ride will take you into a very secretive alien lab. But soon you learn they want you to stay forever for examinations, so you must escape. This exciting journey is located right to the on the block with the Supernova Theatre/Astronomy Awards.
Other (Restaurants, Shops, etc.);
-The Tomorrowland Terrace
-Cosmic Ray's Starlight Café
-Plectu's Fantastic Intergalactic Revue: This reimagined project will be a dinner show in a building built upon the Tomorrowland Skyway site.
-The Astronomer's Club: This would be an "E-ticket" eatery located in the center of the circular SuperHighway building, and the previous AAA members lounge. This would be another reimagined addition.
-Tomorrowland Arcade
-Mickey's Star Traders
-Merchant of Venus
-Auntie Gravity's Galactic Goodies
-The Lunching Pad
-Dark Matter Mart: Located on Interstellar Drive
-Cool Ship
-Ursa's Major Minor Mart
-Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Equipment: New name for existing gift shop.

Also, the main concourse would be officially known as Cosmic Way. Interstellar Drive ( I-Drive ;) ) is the walkway between Area 52 and Cosmic Ray's. Furthermore, a new wall would separate Fanatsyland from Tomorrowland, running from the Area 52 building to Cosmic Ray's Starlight Café, which will be getting an updated, metallic facade to match more of the land. CRSC would even have a mini Moonliner on the facade. The wall would appear like a filled in PeopleMover track, but with rocket spires come from the top. From Fantasyland, it would appear like another castle wall. Some space from the demolished speedway would be left for a new ride in Storybook Circus.

*ignore Ast. Club on large overall map, should be Plectu's.

@BryceM I'm formally requesting an extension until Friday. I went all out on this one because I managed to find a great story to focus on and it seems I've dug my self too deep and it will take time to get out. I hope you understand,

You can't rush art.

That's fine... (I'm feeling generous). But it is sort of unfair to those who already had posted in time...

I am going to be honest. It is kind of unfair cuz I had to manage my time a lot this week just to post that. Will I be able to update mine then? Because I could add more if we get another week and maybe be able to post some decent art! Just sayin....

Thanks Bryce I really appreciate it. About those who already posted, what was stopping you guys from asking for an extension?

Well I felt it was already a week to do it so it was kind of a long period to ask to extend. I think if you need another day to do it fine but its still weird your asking so last minute! That's all I'm saying. I don't think its my place to ask for an extension in a competition. In a real setting you wouldn't get one! IMO

I actually thought it was due Tuesday so lucky I did ask. That's fine if you look at it that way, in imagineering you probably wouldn't you're right. But we're not imagineers and I did get an extension, worked out alright for me I guess :)

Instead of thinking of it as unfair think of it as time to expand on your idea! ;)

(Don't assume this was sarcasm because it wasn't)

Well here is my entry. I couldnt get in concept art because after not using my scanner for YEARS, I find it does not work :( Well my drawing skills are...bad and even that is being generous. Ok well here is my tomorrowland restoration plan, enjoy :)
“Here you leave today and enter the world of yesterday, tomorrow, and fantasy.”
This quote, which is read by millions each year as they enter the magic kingdom park, is only partly true. Tomorrowland, which was once a staple of the park has fallen mightily. This complete overhaul of the land will restore it to its former greatness, as a staple of the Magic Kingdom for years to come.
m1gJEqOZ13py9ACGjKFD7mQ.jpg

Carousel of Progress- created by Walt himself, the Carousel of Progress was once a representation of the advancements that the world has seen. This refurb will restore it to the excellent ride it used to be. With the rides current scenes getting an update with fixed animatronics to make them look great again, the big changes will come at the end. The final two scenes jumps from 1940 to a futuristic time period, so a scene will be added in between to bridge the huge gap. The scene will take place in the 1980/1990 time period. Tom Morrow will be taking about all the new gadgets arriving, like computers and home video game consoles. The daughter will be in the background on the computer, and the son will be playing video games on a TV. Disney will even strike a deal with Nintendo to be allowed to display a NES on the ground, and the boy making a Mario reference such as "Wow, I really love this new Mario game! Look at these graphics!" The final scene will also receive a big upgrade with a 3D TV, and a projector that is projecting a baseball player swinging a bat to show a 3D type effect, and a projector projecting out a screen that the daughter touches to place an order for dinner. The projector could change the screen its showing to make it look like the daughter is actually navigating through a menu that she can make appear in mid air at any time. Also a robot animatronic sweeping up the floor to show that robots are now a big thing in this version of the future.

Tomorrowland Transit Authority- the TTA, as its abbreviated will not feature many big changes except the older audio, before the recent refurb that changed it.

Astro Orbiter- The spinner has had its fair share of problems, such as the planets attached to it not spinning properly and the annoying elevators that make waits far longer than they should be. 2 extra elevators will ensure people will get on faster and people will get back down to make more room faster. The planets surrounding will also get a fix to make them spin again.

Buzz Lightyears Astro Blasters- Re-named Buzz Lightyears Space Ranger Spin but with some improvemtns. The rides “guns” will be made detachable, like its twin in California. Also, the place will get spruced up with brand new coat of paint, and some new, harder targets to find for the pros to find. Also the end of the ride will be re-worked with tv screens that show the amount of points you scored, and your daily and all time ranking, as well as your title (Cosmic command, ect.)





Space Mountain- this classic rollercoaster has been deteriorating as of late and is not getting the love it needs. This overhaul will make it feel like the classic wild dark coaster it is, but will improve on it. On-board audio will be added, silent lift hills, and a launch similar to Rock n Roller Coaster, but at aroud 40 MPH, and the rest of the ride will be the standard 36 MPH that Space Mountain is. Wall-E's mission to space-Replacing Stitch's great escape, Wall-E will invite people to accompany him to a new distant planet just recently discovered that is thought to have aliens on it. The pre show will be of Captain McCrea briefing you in explaining the mission of going to the distant planet to see if there actually are aliens. The center Animatronic of stitch will be replaced with Wall-E with a small pad of buttons in front of him that he presses to control the ship. After launch, Wall-E messes up and accidently crashes. The seats go wild (think of the effects used on stitch) and water comes squirting from the center of the ship (like stitch spitting in the current ride). The lights then all go out, and Wall-E then has to place an emergency call to Captain, who then will use the emergency power to steer the ship to safety. When arriving at the planet, the aliens are friendly, and as a tribute to the past ride, in the background Stitch will fly by in his red space cruiser. People of Tomorrow-Taking the land that the Tomorrowland Theater once took up, this indoor stage show will have a live actor, and his robot. They then will take questions from the crowd about how life is in the future, simillar to Turtle Talk with Crush but with live actors. The Robot will use the same technology as PUSH to answer questions and move around. They will answer in comedic ways, making fun for everyone. TRON adventures-Replacing the Tomorrowland Speedway, this indoor coaster will be themed like TRON. The outside will be a dome with neon lights surronding and a huge facade. It will be a motorbike coaster, with the seats looking like this
Tron-Legacy-lightcycle.jpg
It will be a high speed dark coaster on a light cycle grid from the movie. There will be 6 different colored light cycles, and similar to Radiator Spring Racers, one person will randomly win.
pic_tronlegacylightcyclewallpaper_7cc50261d7ffe923aa22ead07754f6a8.jpg

Monsters Inc Laugh Floor-basically the same thing, but with more tomorrowland convention center signs outside and in queue.
Other things:
-Tomorrowland Arcade rethemed to Flynns Arcade
-Old Skyway building converted to futuristic Table service meal
