News Tomorrowland love

[rio]

I mean Fantastic Four and Alien both did good just not amazing. But I do feel good enough and are amazing films that deserve a place in TL. I also never understood why Wall-E isn't in TL despite it being a major success

It better deserved a spot in Living with the Land or Animal Kingdom because of it's additional environmental messaging. Tomorrowland is already forward-thinking and optimistic, so what could you add from WALL-E? An advertisement for life onboard the Axiom?

I do really hope we are able to get an Alien attraction at some point in the future.

Same, but with my luck it will finally happen and be a carousel.

I'm curious if @marni1971 has heard anything new about future TL area updates?

The Universal contract is really the gift that keeps on giving for at least mildly maintaining the thematic integrity of the WDW parks. Too bad it doesn't work for DCA.

I keep saying this.

If you like EPCOT especially, keep praying Universal keeps Marvel long as possible.

Over 9 years since I started this thread huh?

Nothing I know of.

Darn, was hoping you'd maybe heard of the entrance rockwork going away or something like that that we would all love to see

This all should have received love before venturing into the destruction and rebuilding of the back quadrant of the park for the next 5 plus years.....

It seems that Tomorrowland has instead received the very very slow approach, with the new paint scheme and sign in 2019/2019, the PeopleMover major refurb and narration update in 2021, Tron in 2023, and now the Carousel of Progress update and Cool Ship update. It's been a lot less instrusive, they just need to commit to something in Stitch now

That's pretty much exactly how they've gone about transforming Frontierland.

Country Bear Jamboree -> Country Bear Musical Jamboree / Summer 2024
Splash Mountain -> Tiana's Bayou Adventure / Autumn 2024
Shooting Gallery -> McKim's Mile House / Spring 2025
Prairie Outpost -> Reopened / Summer 2025
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad -> Full refurbishment / 2026
Rivers of America -> Piston Peak National Park / 2028?

I would not be surprised to see them shove a Pecos Bill update into 2027, at which point the entire land will have been redone.

Lol last time they repainted the rockwork they only painted the first few then just gave up, it looks awfully mismatched now

Agree, I just wish they would go back to the gull wing waterfalls that used to be there. I unfortunately never got to experience them, but in photos they looks awesome!

Wall-E is dystopian

And the Terrorestrial was...?

And the Terrorestrial was...?

Utopian

On a windy day its more like slip n slide then a waterfall. I think thats why they were taken down (as far as I know Japan's are just turned off)

WALL-E doesn't belong in Animal Kingdom. The only animal we see at any point in the film is the cockroach.

They really need to finish removing the 94 elements from the main walkway

The 3 reflective panels and the yellow tower that were left behind on the left side stand out so much now

In a perfect world we'd also get a new Astro Orbiter inspired by Star Jets
