Maybe I'm being obtuse but TDL is in the Northern Hemisphere no?
I’ve just shown myself up. Back to school I go.
What an idiot. Never let it be said I don’t admit when I’m wrong. Oops.

I mean, if you start at TDL and just keep going south eventually you’d come back around
Gotta say, it's too bad the company could not use any of the Marvel intellectual property to plug the hole of a medium intensity, dark ride E-ticket in Tomorrowland, least of all one that also would mesh well with the idea of Tomorrowland being a kind of space port!
For me, this will go down as one of the most baffling decisions made in domestic parks under Iger. You put the sci-fi technology IP in the fantasy space land and you put the fantasy space IP in the technology park. Cracked thinking in the C-suite.
Because original ideas are forbidden these days? Oh wait, they are, because the Bob’s don’t have a creative or original bone in their bodies.

100% agree there were so many fantasy sci fi IPs that you could have used in tomorrowland (Assuming you don’t do anything origina) As well as guardians you have wall e, meet the robinsons, big hero six etc any of which could work, not to mention fox IPs like futurama and the martian (which would work at Epcot)
I don’t get the reasoning behind building Tron next to space mountain either

Futurama is such a perfect fit for Tomorrowland, but I doubt Disney will ever want to actually use the property in the parks.

Because it would have looked silly on Tom Sawyer's Island.

I’m gonna say free space and the power grid; kinda like how TOT and RNR are literally next to each other.

They do the exterior on a regular basis, both cleaning and repainting. They installed a new lighting package on it a few yeas ago.

Where are things now overall? Will the land be unified in theme and refreshed? I was there Saturday night, and very few of the lighting effects, etc were working. Monsters, stitch, etc? Is there a vision to unite the land with TRON?

Nobody knows. We can guess! But nobody knows. Stitch is dead, Monsters probably will survive but I could see Parks wanting to use the space for something else. No plans to TRONify TL.

Zach has concept art that shows that John Hench wanted Tron in Tomorrowland at Disneyland.
Me too!! Even though it's a clone, let MK have it and create something different for California. DL already has more unique/and overall attractions than the MK anyway.

Why create something new when you can recycle the same rides around the world? 5 or 6 for the development price of 1!!! Too bad their construction costs are so high...

I would hope that with a leading attraction coming to the land, they would set aside some money to improve/fix/enhance the area around it.
Its like building a 1M home without a sidewalk to the front door, so you have to walk through mud.
