News Tomorrowland love

[trainplane3]

I fully expect as many surfaces to be painted white as possible. Then, when the ride opens, they will do extreme projection mapping all over Tomorrowland to make everything look like the world of TRON at night, complete with a rousing custom Daft Punk musical store. Hey, I can dream, can’t I?

I'd almost be ok with that.

I was thinking this could only be a test area too. It's off to the side, mostly hidden, and not all of the legs are white. If they had scrims around all of them, why didn't they all get painted? They do look really bad in person with the 70s roof supports so if this is a test, let's hope they stop while they're ahead.

We can hope.

If I had to make lemonade from these lemons, maybe do something like this. Still isn't that great. It acknowledges the bright color accents they've been adding to the buildings, but at the same time those accents have been deliberately cutting across the contours of the surfaces. My solution below accentuates the contours. Sigh... I dunno.

Yep! However, he was still singing acapella in the first scene. I don't know what's taking them so long to fix the instrumental audio.

It's *still* like this? This is how it was on our last visit on January 3rd. Has it been like that since?

Maybe I'm crazy, but I feel like they have been trying to find the right IP. It feels like they have made several movies that would fit well in this area.
Meet the Robinsons had an absolute Tomorrowland/futuristic look that could have slid in there. (My family loves this movie, but I know it wasn't a huge success).
Tomorrowland movie also looked like a mockup for Tomorrowland in the park. I mean, there were moments in the movie I said "that is absolutely made to go where blank is in the park". (again, my family adored this movie, but it wasn't a huge hit).
Were either of these ever seriously considered to be IP for that area, or am I just seeing things?

Yep! I was directly under the speaker for the music today this time. It was playing but extremely quiet and crackly. The speaker is probably blown.

Definitely prefer the new paint job.

PS- Adding different color uplit spots at night in the mid century modern style would be cool.

I like the ombré gradation but not loving the traffic cone/candy corn colors. lol It's better though. Any color is "better".

Burgundy or purple would be nice...but where there's so much color already on the cool side, I think they need some warm colors.

Red-orange? Jetage color. Or avacado maybe?

 

[Kman101]

That looks terrible. That screams budget cut.

It does feel like the Tomorrowland re-do has taken a bit of a hit. Certain things originally to be removed are just being repainted. Shame.

Anything above the red line would be a nice compliment to the blue. The first wedges outside of that area on either side of the circle (the light greens and plums) are likely doable, too. I'm not wild about orange or yellow in general, but that's just my personal taste.

I'm well aware of color theory. And what constitutes a warm color. The only reason why I threw out Avacado as a color choice was because it's in the same family as the wackado decades COP colors that are featured in other areas of the land. And because it fits the vibe of Sci-Fi (aliens) But yes, Orange being the complimentary color of blue would be acceptable. But I perhaps disagree about the choice of color as the land should be cooler in tone.

Interesting proposition...
You know where I'd would've liked that?, the Tomorrowland entrance sign/arc. That sign is still missing a little something for me.

Yeah...having grown up with a 1970s kitchen, I'm kind of all set with the colors that were popular in that era, lol. They appear very dated to me. I agree that overall the land needs to have predominantly cool tones...on that, I'm right there with you. But too much can be just as bad as not enough, and that's where I think a contrasting color that pops nicely would come in. We had it before with the rocks, but they're now blues/purples, too. The legs in question are just awkward in general...and I think the staggered shapes exaggerate that. It's unfortunate that there isn't a nice break point (like the roof has) so they could do the legs and bottom blue - but the roof supports go all the way to the bottom edge and it would just look weird if they did that.

Is that in the land that has other sympathetically themed, suitable and cohesive attractions where MILF and Buzz are and SGE was?

And a fixed SM?

No, it’s in “The Grid”, the replacement for that land. But “The Grid” only exists at night. In the daytime it’s still “Whatever IP we can do mental gymnastics with to make it fit Land”.

Not to mention WALL-E

Amazing movie, commercial success, characters beloved by nearly the whole world, actually set in the future.
