Pictures of Tomorrowland

[wsmith1978]

Hello!! Does anyone know where I might be able to find some pictures of DW Tommorrowland from back when it opened or before the major refurb in '94? I really love vintage space-age design, and I figured Tomorrowland was probably chock full of it. That's why I was sad to see Space Mountain get a refurb in '09, I loved the vintage feel it had.

Yep. From me!!

Send me a PM with an email addy.

Check out this photo-comparison of the original and 1994 Tomorrowlands.

And then there's this Flickr album.

^ Doubt I have anything that'll beat that offer, though. :dazzle:

Check out this photo-comparison of the original and 1994 Tomorrowlands.

Whenever I see side by side comparisons like this (and Future World), I always find it interesting how the "Vision of the Future" in the 1960s-80s was for lack of a better word) clean. And now it is apparently cluttered. I prefer the future of 1971.

EDIT: I just read the text on that site ... I didn't realize I was just echoing what he had already written. At least I'm not alone.

Although I never went to the old Tomorrowland, I certainly can see why people prefer pre 1994...modern-day Tomorrowland is insanely cluttered and crowded, and the quality of attractions has dropped.

The best photo is the one that shows the sign for "Mission to Mars" instead of SGE!!!

The old version was awesome. Too bad those water towers sprayed everyone and they couldn't come up with an alternative to ripping them out and putting in rocks (???!).

The difference is so incredible when you see old vs. new side by side. Tomorrowland feels so cramped, and when you see how much junk they added in 1995 it's no wonder.

Even still, Magic Kingdom's Tomorrowland is still miles ahead of Disneyland's. The changes they made there would probably make me cry if I ever went back...
