News Tomorrowland love

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

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.

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.

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”.

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?

Not to mention WALL-E

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

Wall-E was about a future where we have destroyed the planet and now live on an intergalactic cruise liner getting fat. I'm not sure that is the sort of optimistic future that Tommorrowland should have as a vision!

yeah I’m hoping things simplify not complicate it further

I complete agree! I feel like those are too obvious for Disney to use in the land. They rather shoehorn an IP that loosely fits into Tomorrowland.

Maybe you didn’t watch until the end?

Wall-e is about learning to take care of the planet so humanity and the planet can survive and thrive together.

Pretty easy to adapt that into a ride that takes place after the movie and focuses on a green future that uses all kinds of different eco-friendly technologies.

Could even use that as the new thesis of the land

As a "lets take better care of the planet" thing for Epcot it would be a great fit (Wall-E teaches recycling!). But for Tomorrowland, it doesn't fit with the optimistic future of Tomorrowland really. But then neither does Monsters Inc.

If they did I’d say remove the outer ring with the planets and the additional rings on the central spire, repaint and perhaps modify the spire and rockets a bit.

I say they should just put the... wait for it... retro rocket back on the spire.
