Tomorrowland makeover in Tokyo

[WeirdOne]

Alright, I've got this all figured out. I'll Start with the rides. This is what the new and improved Tomorrowland in Tokyo.

Rides:

Buzz Lightyear's Astro Blasters

Micro Adventure! (aka Honey, I Shrunk the Audience)

Space Mountain (I'll explain more)

Astro Orbiter (I'll explain more)

Star Tours

Cosmic Highway (Can I use your idea Figment Dream?)

Okay, here's the deal. Space Mountain: I'm keeping the idea for going up the tunnel really fast, but leaving the rest of the roller coaster the way is was except for new special effects along the way to fit my story line. By the way, new ride viecles and updated sound track will be added to the ride.

Astro Orbiter: I still want the ride to be in the central hub of Tomorrowland, but I'll put it on a raised platform like the one in WDW. If that idea doesn't work, I'll put it to the entrance to Tomorrowland.

I still like the Time Master ride, but there's no place to put it. The old Tomorrowland theater would be a good place, but we'll see. It would also be a good Place for an Alien Encouter ride)

Shops and restauraunts: All the shops and restaurauts would be getting their personal make-over (new decorations, color scheme, etc.) if they don't already have one already.

These are the shops I will include. Some of the shops are the same as they were before and others will have different names.

Shops:

Cosmic Encouter

Planet M

Image Works

Stellar Sweets

Solar Ray's Space Stop (re-named from Solar Ray's Light Supplies)

Restuaunts:

The Intergalactic Food Port (re-named from Plaza Resturaunt)

Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Caf'e (Renamed from Soft Landing)

The Deep Space Pizza Port (re-named from Pan Galactic Pizza)

The Lunch Pad (re-named from Space Place Food Port)

The Galaxy Palace Terrace (re-named from Tomorrowland Terrace)

Lite Bite Satilite

On the outside, all of the buildings will get new colors, decoartions, features, etc. Including Space Mountain. That's all for now, tell me your ideas!!!!!!!

Okay, where to start with this one. THIS IDEA IS MUCH BETTER! MUCH BETTER!

- Rides

1. Space Mountain, you will need to slow considerably after the lift because it is ALL downhill so maybe consider sticking in more brakes to gradually lower the speed (and so noone gets their hands/head chopped off).

2. I don't think a raised platform will work for Astro Orbiter. It's jsut too conjested there. It's like placing a ride in the most crowd congested area and making it harder for people to get in and out of the land.

3. What old-Tomorrowland Theater? Showbase 2000? Meet the World? What are you talking about. Be more specific.

- Restaurants/Shops

1. No need to comment, it sounds pretty good, except for the fact that that's a bunch of money wasted in changing names. It's expensive you know.

I'm glad you like my new ideas. However, on Space Mountain, there will be some breaks on the track before you get to the top of the accelaration tunnel. Once you get to the top, there will be several breaks on the track there to slow you down alot. Then, it's all down hill from there.

The Tomorrowland theater is right next to space mounain. It has a kind of dome shape to it and very big. It might be big enough to hold my Time Master Ride Idea or Alien Encounter. I'm back into thought about Astro Orbiter again. Do you have any suggestions besides leaving it where it is? Oh well, glad you like my new ideas. I'll keep posting more new ideas later on.

P.S. How can giving shops and restauraunts new names be expensive???

 

[FigmentDream]

That's fine if you use my Comsmic Highway concept, I would appreaciate it you would put some credit of mine to it if you do use it though, thanks

 

[imagineer boy]

Thank you Figment Dream! I apriciate it. The name cosmic highway is a very good name. It's alot better than the Tomorrowland Indy Speedway and Autopia! I will also give you credit when I mention the ride name.

Good deal on Space Mountain. Just make sure you're careful how much you brake the ride, you don't want it to be a kiddie ride.

You do not touch that theater! I love the shows that play there and have played there. That place is sacred to me. DO NOT TOUCH IT! Don't even change the shows, the current one is great the way it is.

As for Astro Orbiter, leave it, there's no place you can move it without seriously disrupting traffic patterns.

You have to change signs all over the park and resort that have these names and sometimes that can add upto a lot of money with all the labor and new design, etc you have to do. - The WeirdOne

OH! So, no EPCOT25. And I've been keeping on my signature since we started. SOME WDI YOU MAKE?! - The WeirdOne

 

[Castle Cake Apologist]

Blah! This must be finished! Both! I've got like 3 months to do 75 Years of Ears! Deadlines! *ACK!* That's 3 months to produce a Nightime Spectacle/Parade for the Magic Kingdom!

Okay, about the Tomorrowland Theater, how did you not know about when I first mentioned it, and now criticizing me on not to do anything to it? The Minnie Mouse show or whatever it's called that's showing there right now, has nothing to do with the Tomorrowland concept. They could make a theater in Fantaseyland, or Toon Town to show that show. They could add a smaller Theater somwhere else in Tomorrowland where they could have fun shows that I havn't even thought of yet.
Now for the shop sign thing. When the Tomorrowlands in WDW and Disneyland got remodeled, all of the shops and resturaunts got new names. I don't see how it could hurt to change some of the names of the shops and resturaunts in Tokyo Disneyland's Tomorrowland.

I thought you were talking about the Meet the World Tomorrowland Theater, not the one with the shows. THe show that's there right now has to do with a vision, Walt Disney's vision and visionaries are part of Tomorrow. THat show is great where it is, please don't touch it.

Change the names, I wasn't saying it as a bad idea, but that the costs could soar. It's expensive to just change names. - The WeirdOne

Okay, I'm all lost and confused here. Can you please tell me about the different theaters there are in Tomorrowland? Because the thing on the official Disney website only mentions the large domed theater next to Space Mountain.

Well, I told you to do research as the Official site does not have all the answers.

There are two theaters. One is for shows - The dome theater. The other is a Carousel of Progress theater that used to house Meet the World. - The WeirdOne

 

[imagineer boy]

Okay, so you don't want me to touch the Meet the World theater, is that correct?

 

[WeirdOne]

No, don't touch the dome theater. Move the Meet the World show to EPCOT. They closed it June 30th, 2002. - The WeirdOne

 

[imagineer boy]

Alright, that's cool. Where was the Meet the World thing in Tomorrowland?

 

[Mr D]

Anybody have any idea how well Treasure Planet has done overseas in Japan?

Make a ride and show with it done in TL, its a fact the culture is different and it may do a much better job there since here in America nobody seems to like quality anymore...

 

[imagineer boy]

No offence, but are you obsessed with Treasure Planet????????? The Disney Company was embarrased by how poor Treasure Planet did in America, and I'm sure they'd like to forget about it.

THe Meet the World theater was across from the Dome theater, I believe. I haven't seen a park map in ages. - The WeirdOne

 

[Mr D]

I am equally supportive of TP as I am against what DCA became.

TP has potential, it still does here in the US, its obvious the culture overseas is more appreciated of quality and the OLC has the money to spend from the obvious success of TDS, so why not a Treasure Planet theme? It could use some japanimation in it for a show like, 3-D ride with GPS vehicles traveling through a storyline of finding the lost planet battling pirates, cruising through a pod of space-whales which actually should be a big hit in Japan and in the ending escaping from a supernova, all the elements needed for a good storyline.


I'm typing it all up and mailing it to the OLC and also Disney in Anaheim.
