to be clear... I wasn’t saying buzz and stitch don’t make sense in tomorrowland... just they clash with the classic Tomorrowland theme. Tron seems to go yet another direction in theme.

Tomorrowland rides have rarely taken place in the future, even the ones that were considered good fits for the land

Ya. I'm feeling tingly in places. This is very nice. Just do the rest of the land.

Let's hope the rest of the land lives up to that sign!

I 100% agree with everything you said here, especially your dark ride idea.

right, it's always non-Earth that is futuristic in the case of using alien movies as a motivation for futurism.

I love the sign. I think it's a lot like Mission Breakout in that, however you feel about it, it only seems to be as jarring as it is because it's just the first piece of a much larger aesthetic plan.

Waterfalls will never come back there. Too many problems with mist, slippery sidewalks, mold, etc.

You’re right. The waterfalls definitely created problems in Florida.
If only WDI had a solution for that and had maybe already implemented it in Tokyo...

A futuristic "backside of water" line could be added to the TTA if these were added.

50s/60s space age aesthetic is now iconic and timeless imo. And in no small way thanks to Walt and company.
This is a good choice for Tomorrowland.
And perhaps classic steampunk might get utilized elsewhere eventually.

Is the problem with the sign the continuity of lighting? It's a nice clear white sign with a bunch of neon purples, greens, blues, oranges, etc.... behind it. Taking away the bad cartoon-ish signage clashing with the futuristic feeling of the land during the day, could the problem be solved with just making all the lighting bright and white?
Not looking to argue with anyone, just a temporary design idea.

I like it. That’s a decent temporary solution until TL gets new architecture.
Also, let’s pause for a moment to consider the sweeping changes Disney made for the ‘94 reboot, along with the creative risks of Alien Encounter, versus the piecemeal renovations we’re seeing from a much larger, much more profitable Disney Co. in 2019.

Most of the colored lighting isn't LED, so changing colors would mean getting new lights for everything.
Probably more work and money than they're willing to spend, for something just temporary.
Especially considering they're already underway for the permanent changes

Another shameless self-promotion:
Last night, I added Tomorrowland to my thread that covers WDW in 1990. I included lots of pics and links to some YouTube videos.

While I'd like a bit more to the sign, perhaps a blue back-glow to the "Tomorrowland" part, I like it for it's sleek, simple design. It is different from the other, which I liked just fine, but it's design does point to a less messy overall design for TL. I'm hoping they will stick with this clean and simple design and continue removing the fins and other added decorations that tend to clutter up the curved lines of the TTA route. If they go with a blue/white palette, with colorful planets, etc as highlights, I think it will look amazing.50s/60s sci-fi aesthetic is now iconic and timeless imo.

Steampunk is cool for a totally immersive environment, imo. If there's just steampunk decor added in here and there in any land, it will look odd. I would love a Jules Verne steampunk land, something like Disney Seas has. They can save those fins for a Journey to the Center of the Earth ride in Epcot for Discovery Neighborhood!

love love love it. The restraint in the design is something to behold. Hard to pull that off with many cooks.
It's like the opposite of the new buses.
