News Tomorrowland love

[HauntedPirate]

Are you talking about the time Phil Holmes cut the budget to prevent a track replacement? I’m confused.

Don't worry, you aren't the only one. There's reality, then there's what JT talks about.

Gosh, this color scheme... I thought they were going retro-inspired, but still essentially do stuff we in the 21st century would consider modern (like Tron will). This is starting to look more like a literal recreation of a Mid 20th century future. (Are those signs vacuum-formed!? Can I get a Slurpy in there?)

Is this all part of a nostalgia-fueled plan for the 50th?

Those signs are gorgeous

And fit perfectly with our 70s Tomorrowland

Yeah. These look a little too authentic retro, imo.

Neither version actually looks.... good.

I mean, I gotta admire the chutzpa. It's like there's some rogue division of WDI here that got authorization to do retro Tomorrowland, but without senior oversight. So now they are like trying to see how far they can go before someone reins them in!

It is really painfully slow progress... I laugh thinking about your post. Management walks through, “isnt That, uh, different?” “What sir?” “That column. There... errr never mind.”

Looks like they hired Hildi Santo-Thomas to do the re-design...

Have they gotten around to hot-gluing thirteen thousand toy spaceships to the wall yet?

I'm also a fan as it makes the theming of Tomorrowland interesting again, at least for me.

I find the divided opinions a little like those who love the theming of the Tokyo Disneyland monorails vs. those who prefer the WDW versions. Neither side is wrong, but they kind of represent different ideas of what constitutes good theming.

I don't mind the signs but the store needs more...70s era theming? More then white and silver. The old TL had splashes of color throughout while still being primarily white. The store is lacking that.

The inside looks terrible.

It's only a matter of time...

Well they only have 2 days and $1,000 dollars. There's no way Disney can do it with those kind of constraints.
Forget paging Tom Morrow. Someone Paige Davis!

(I'll see myself out)

Naughty. Very naughty of you!

What remains of the A.E./SGE v1.5 showbuildings? Are the effects still there or has it been completely gutted?

Apparently it's just a massive storage closet. Seats intact. Prime for a new show. Typical. Still don't understand why they closed it.

...without a plan in place to replace it.

It's another bit of evidence to show they don't believe that MK (and really all of the WDW parks) need more capacity.

Timekeeper existed in that state for years, before Disney finally planned a Monsters, Inc. door coaster that became a screen show.

Technically the door coaster didn’t become the screen show. They were separate projects and the door coaster was in development after the laugh floor opened.
