News Tomorrowland love

[ChrisFL]

The whole aesthetic of Tomorrowland is so dated and cheesy in the worst possible way. It didn't go full steampunk like Paris and lost all the futuristic sleekness it once had but added the rocks that don't fit either, so now its in this weird limbo that just doesn't mesh. The steampunk aspects are so cartoonish there isn't a way to just repaint or cover up to make them any better. If the rocks were more prominent throughout the rest of the land I could see them presenting the area as a different planet but without that they are just out of place. Rip the non-structural aspects out and start over. Shoot for something that will not be dated in 5 years.

A sleek simplistic new sign is a good start. The waterfalls would be even better but there's no way they are spending that kind of money.

It wasn't supposed to be steampunk, it was retro future like the 50's and 60's

So they are spending money to downgrade and simplfiy the entrance sign to a land? What logical sense does this make?

Chapek doesn’t want to spend $$$ to build, why spend it to deconstruct?

Some people defended the wand, the bah and the lal. But now almost nobody misses them.

People with bad taste.

the fins were spectacular...When operating...which was not often especiallt towards the end, but they have come a long way in fountain technology since 1971...if the waterfalls were done like the waterwalls at the Aria in Las Vegas it would be mesmerizing and amazing...it would also give them a great plane to project on during the nightly projection shows...

Yea, those 4 people were SO annoying.

I didn’t mind them during their respective celebrations. They just should have departed immediately at the end of each celebration like the Castle Cake. I’m not inherently opposed to an ostentatious, temporary decorative element as part of a celebration.

Agreed.

I wish Mickeys Birthdayland ended with the "use by date" on the celebration rather than morphed into Mickeys Starland, Mickeys Toontown Fair and uggh Storybook Circus.

It looks better and fits into the new look of TL? Sometimes simple works. We will see how cohesive the land becomes at the end of the day.

Yep. Let's not forget Disney does projects at their own pace. As much as I want it to be done overnight, if it looks great in 2 years then I won't complain. Also...

 

[eddie104]

Like why are people already calling something cheap if we barely know what it is ???

 

[ChrisFL]

as someone who is artistic, I hate people judging what I work on when it's only partially completed. So in this case I am still going to wait and see what the finished product looks like.

I do think it's interesting that there seems to be a split from people who like the original design, the '94 design with regular rocks and the blue/purple rocks.

I actually like the blue/purple rocks

I like the idea of the new aesthetic. It’s just being sloppily executed in some cases. But I, too, am eager to see the finished project. The current pace should leave this finished in 2025.

If the rocks go then this is a radical rethink of the plan from 3 years ago.

Although the new sign as seen on the park map is already different to that of 3 years ago.

So they could've found some extra money in the paint budget to do some slightly larger modifications?

Tomorrowland bridge entrance sign to get an all new look later this summer

Work will begin soon on removing the sign at the entrance to the Magic Kingdom land.

Will the new sign spray mist/water on guests as they walk underneath it?

 

[JustInTime]

Something like what's shown on the maps?

Wow. I actually really like that sign.

 

[HoldenC]

Glad to see that ugly sign go away! That alone is a great improvement.

 

[JEANYLASER]

I'm glad that ugly sign go away too! That alone is a great improvement also!

I like the sign
