Well that is really documentary on the historical preservation of early 1980's contemporary bathroom styling that have endured into the next century. Wasn't that the basis for some Epcot Center attractions as well?

I would like to mention that the land looks the best it has this decade.
From the lighting, to new minor changes like signs, color schemes, and just generally a better upkeep of the land has taken it a long way. Can't wait for the full fledge redo!!!
Was there Saturday, and it really has become a joy again just to spend the evening at Tomorrowland.

It should hopefully only get better from here.

Agreed, but there's one black eye, IMHO: That cheap-looking stage really needs to be removed or replaced.

Has anybody heard what this project might entail? I'd think SGE replacement by the 50th but I wonder what else would be included.

Anyone know what's going on with the "up" escalator at the People Mover? The escalator hasn't worked since late last year.

As much as I would love a Buzz replacement there are at least 4 attractions in Tomorrowland that need replacing sooner. Buzz for now just needs a queue redo, and updates to the ride.

They keep it turned off intentionally. When it's on, it keeps dumping people on the crowded platform even if they have no place to go!
That correct.
It's amazing though that the greeter could control the inflow for 40 years with no problem.

Did they use to control the flow of traffic at the bottom of the up escalator, before people got on?

Has this gone the other way and decreased capacity? I've seen some reports of sizeable lines for the ride recently.

Unbelievable. Right there, the meanness and incompetence of modern WDW.
For forty years WDW's esteemed guests moved up by effortless escalator. Now, WDW lets guests - small kids, pensioners - walk up a steep ramp in the 200F Florida heat because they can't figure out how to manage crowd control. Or at least, figure out how to in a way that doesn't cost them $2.45 a day.
Edit: and to think you have to climb that escalator to loud noise from the horrid stage behind you, and nonsense alien toonland in front of you.
What have they done to my paradise... :'(

Agreed. They managed just fine for decades. Now the escalator's suddenly a problem? I've noticed the Peoplemover gets more of a line than it ever did. Hey, management, maybe the park needs, you know, more things to do (at all the parks) ... maybe then you can manage the crowds

Marni and Magic feather- question for you guys- does the apparent drop in attendance numbers motivate the decision makers to get moving with plans at all?
Progress seems soooo sloooowwww!!! Not just in Tomorrowland but Epcot etc...

It really does. Not sure why Epcot can't get the spine project going. Energy replacement going. Why shove it off?
Because they want some gimmick marketing ploy where they can tout "50 Things For The 50th?". I guess at least they have a schedule but still ...
Probably because nobody wants to ride the Rockets or Carousel of Progress -- the other two FP+-less rides in Tomorrowland...

Was reading a great article today about the attendance at WDW and other Disney Parks dropping... Talked about how the ticket prices keep increases and the attendance keeps dropping across parks. Asking the bold question, who would be the 1st park to start to cutting ticket prices... And would that draw more people into a park to make up for the price cutting? Food for thought.

As long as profits continue to rise, I can't see anything being done about attendance. Crowds are still massive. People are spending more than ever. If you're Disney, you don't see a problem.

CoP had decent crowds yesterday.

I was on Peoplemover a month or so ago and the escalator thing was on, then it turned off when I was half through the line! Bummer... It and CoP do seem to be pulling larger crowds now in my opinion.
