News Tomorrowland love

[marni1971]

Sorry to bother you again, but I was wondering if you think the current music loop will change? I feel like it would be a bit out of place with the 70s retro look they seem to be heading towards.

That I don’t know. I’m only aware of the physical design direction.

Oh yeah, I forgot that existed. It would be a great fit because it obviously works in Tokyo, which is very similar to Magic Kingdom's original Tomorrowland, and it also would be a nod to an entire generation of fans that enjoy the current loop. Arguably the current loop is one of the best currently on property, so it would be a shame for it to change completely.

I love the Tomorrowland music loop, in fact I’m using it to study for exams. LOL

Maybe they could use Tokyo's. It's the same songs, but with more of a retro synth tone.

Personally, I would love if they either went with tokyo's 90's loop or the classic bubble shuffle loop.

As @marni1971 stated in the past, expect TL to look like this again.

I have many fond memories spent in that Tomorrowland, but please no.
I'd just as well make Fantasyland look like this again:

And to those thinking, "Um, yeah!" let me just say your lens of nostalgia is so thick that it's apparently opaque.

I'll wait and see what we actually end up with, but sterile, sleek and clean isn't a theme (though it could certainly be an aspect of one.) Without the spires it's really just a nice plaza.
I've said it multiple times now, but Tomorrowland's biggest problem is it's never treated like an actual land. Instead it's always more of a design aesthetic. The 90's redo was a step in the right direction, but never seemed fully thought out (or even completed) and sat as more a simple redress.
Where are we?
When are we?
What's the history of this place?
Who lives or works here?
Storytelling, theme, character, and craftsmanship. Give me the Disney difference. Missteps have certainly been made, but steps backward are worse- it's not learning from your mistakes, it's giving up.

I really should grow up and stop playing make believe at the parks.

I could never stop doing that lol

90's tomorrowland is the best storytelling a land ever had until maybe galaxy's edge.
But I'd rather have it back to the clean look. As much as I love the 90's look, it hasn't aged well, these days with apple stores and all that, that clean white 70s look is much more accurate to what the future might look like.
Plus if it does migrate over to disneyland that means no more entrance blockage! Maybe. Let's hope so.

Old Fantasyland does still look like that. The only facade that was changed from that look was Pooh.

I think OP was talking about toad.

Didn’t you know the new future is white and blue again?

You’ll still have your Astro Orbiter.

It won’t be a direct take on 1971 - even minus the monoliths - but will more than a passing nod to it. If the budget holds with some plussing too.

Now why can’t they do that to Future World?

I know it’s already been posted but here’s a shot of the Laugh Floor sign from today.

Speaking of AO, is it going to get a repaint or a slight retheme? While it won't stick out much in the sea of white and blue I feel it might clash a bit.

Yes, Fantasyland has come a long way since the 70s.

 

[Animaniac93-98]

Whether it's Tomorrowland '94, "New Fantasyland" or sticking Aladdin in Adventureland, Disney has never committed to remaking an entire land at MK. It's always a goal that stops short and the corners cut are usually obvious.

It would be nice if, for once, they did the whole land.

Any chance we will see the waterfall spires return? They were one of the best details of the Eero Saarinen version.

More likely to see Horizons return I’m afraid.

You heard it here first, Horizons 2 confirmed.

Are they putting it in the 5th gate?

Considering all the problems they had with it making sidewalks slippery, mold growing, and general re[air issues its very unlikely
