Right, my understanding is a little different, but I found that out later. My point is that the average fans may not make that connection since a Disney nerd like myself had to be told why they were there.
Truly if MK could get a fantastic updated Tomorrowland. Maybe continue the current theme even just with a cohesive and updated theme, and a better backside plus a new ride. The land really can be pretty to look at like New Fantasyland and Liberty Square, or in other parks Discoveryland, and Mysterious Island, they just need to finally do it properly.
Lol I was just thinking that. I would assume because funds were more recently allocated to do it, so maybe there are larger plans to come in the next few years that weren't there before.
The Tomorrowland update should have happened already, but Disney didn't take care of WDW and now there are so many things that need to be fixed. Tomorrowland seems low on the list of priorities, unfortunately. Hopefully something will be done by the 50th but currently, Tomorrowland does not seem to be on the schedule.
Yup it's long overdue, like I've said many times wdw has been the most deprived resort for twenty years, but now it seems they're definitely realizing it needs work to continue to stay above Universal, and then Universal will fire back with Nintendo. Like it can't get any better now for the public, but it will take a decade for everything to be fully realized.
And, IIRC, the rocks that were the basis of Hollywood visions were the ones up in the Mojave desert, just north of LA. I know I recognized the rock formations in a couple of the movies I saw. Why Mars would be the inspiration for the future is beyond me...
Hub Transitions have always been rocky at best. The improvement the designers did in WDW was add the moat around the whole hub giving wider walking paths and more importantly to the entrance of the Tommorowland give a physical water break allowing room for transition. Since moving the water towers Tomorrowland lost its curtain from the view of the hub. I'm not sure how the new blue rocks as much as I love the color choice will help smooth out that transition.
I was hoping this movie would be a success. That could have helped TL WDW transform to include style elements from this:
But alas, I think I am the only one that loved this movie.
I do too and even put it on when there isn't anything on.
To me, overall more blue than purple, but the purple is definitely there, along with silver.
