News Tomorrowland love

[BoarderPhreak]

Sad that despite the building of TRON, Tomorrowland's attraction count will be the same as it was 5 years ago because they decided to close SGE without a replacement.

True... But I can tell you which one I'd rather have.

Alien Encounter? Me too!

Wrong! Mission to Mars.

Flight to the Moon!

At this point, we'd be lucky if they'd at least fix the LED light rings on the current Astro Orbiter spire...

And the spinning planets

I saw a group of people looking into Stitch queue with confusion. Looked like they wanted to go in. Kept looking at their map and then back to the queue sign. They should change it already. Either say it’s a meet and greet or take down the signs altogether. Otherwise it just looks like a ride that’s closed early in the day for some reason.

Trust me when I say I'm on your side here, but doesn't the sign literally say "Character Greeting" on it?

It does, but the full sign reads Stitch's Alien Encounter Character Greeting, and the "Stitch's" part is much bigger, flashier, and easier to read than the rest of the sign. It'd be easy to see it from a distance and assume it was an actual attraction.

Plus, like I said above, it's just really ugly. I also don't think any of the other meet and greets have such giant prominent signs, but I could be wrong -- it could be that the Stitch one just stands out more because of the location.

I believe they have changed it. Maybe I’m just ready for something new in here. LOL

Hard to imagine a rumor I wanted to be less true than TRON and GOTG going into MK and EPCOT respectively 3 years ago. A massive whiff to have not made a Digital Frontier of TRON Pavilion in EPCOT and a non-coaster, E-ticket level dark ride for Guardians in EPCOT.

C'est la vie.

Wrong thread, I know. Nevertheless, I think it was such a missed opportunity not to put Tron in Epcot. Computers run everything now. If handled delicately, they could have not only kept the Energy focus, but tied together that whole side of the park, and even SSE, with a unifying theme.

(I realize they would not have handled it delicately.)

GOTG in MK and Tron in Epcot would have saved Tomorrowland 94 and Future World at the same time...

And if that part of the park became the Digital Frontier, they could have made an amazing flynn's arcade instead of the bland Play pavilion.

Bumping this up to bring about a concern. If things continue to worsen for WDW, what would it mean for the Tomorrowland update and attractions? I don't want to see things like CoP and PM closed and abandoned.

I thought it was understood that the update was "finished" pre-Covid? Obviously Tron still needs to happen but I think we're done. Shame too because if there's any one mountain actually in NEED of an update it's the one in TL.

Post-Covid? We'll be lucky if they even paint anything now.

I don't think it is done. I saw a picture from @AliciaStella a couple of days ago that had the roof supports by Stitch still under wraps.
