TOMORROWLADDER: Vertical Conveyance System... of the FUTURE!

I mean, they're already taking a step backwards with the gondolas, a ladder is pretty exciting in comparison.

 

[MisterPenguin]

Any reason this isn’t getting removed as well? It screams 94.

I fear we’ll end up with even more of a hodge podge land, like DL’s

Whatever is replacing SGE is still going to need access to teleportation technology.

 

[marni1971]

Are they not going for the smooth white/blue/purple buildings look anymore? Sounds like it’s becoming a mix of 94 and classic Tomorrowland.

The new land was always proposed to have things.... sticking up.

SpaceX rocket trips to Mars confirmed.

Transpiring things?

Nothing much but....

Here's hoping it will return in some fashion, perhaps even smoke-free!

There's no reason for it not to return.

It'll be needed more than ever when Tron opens

The smoking area was moved a while ago.

 

[Pi on my Cake]

The smoking area was moved a while ago.

Tell that to the people constantly smoking there still lol

The sad truth is that any area slightly out of the way with minimal crowds/supervision is considered an unofficial smoking area by smokers. That's the unfortunate side effect of cutting down the smoking areas to such a small amount. Not sure what the solution is though.

Shutting down the pathway for a few months to a few years and building an E-Ticket attraction on top of it.

Maybe making the whole park non-smoking? Much of the US has gone that route, I'm surprised Disney hasn't followed suit.

While I would be thrilled to see this happen and it would be easy enough to enforce with everyone getting a security screening now, I don't see it happening for at least another 10 years or so. The sad truth is people still love their cancer sticks and banning smoking entirely would seriously effect park attendance.

People would still smoke regardless.

Better to have designated areas that are both accessible for those that smoke and avoidable for non-smokers.

 

[Animaniac93-98]

I don't see it ever happening.

Heck, IMO recreational pot will probably be legal in Florida, if not nationwide, within the next 10 years and that will be a whole other thing to deal with. Better to have at least some corners of the park smoking areas. At least you can't smoke anywhere indoors or in the queues.

This gets beyond the purview of this thread, but unlike smoking, cannabis is much more likely to be regulated akin to public consumption of beer. I really cannot see the US taking a more liberal stance than Canada. Theoretically it's really up to Disney to adopt it and based on the speed at which they do, I don't see this being a big thing in our lifetime. So it's really a moot point.

Love their cancer sticks? They are addicted, I am a former smoker and can tell you that many do not want to smoke but are compelled to smoke. I would love if no one smoked and the tobacco companies went out of the biz but to say they "love" them is a bit disingenuous.

Which is now available in The Magic Kingdom.

But yes, Disney is free to regulate the parks beyond what the state does or does not legalize.

Can you buy death sticks in the SWL cantina?

No, but you can build your own in the store
