Tomorrowland new entrance

[Mac Tonight]

Somehow its... worse?

I'm guessing the white planters are going to be that high in order to hide the mechanical building on the north side, recently exposed by the removal of the rocks.

I'm starting to think not much more walking space is going to be gained once this is all over.

I assumed they would just build it up on the "new" planters that debuted when the walls came down, already on display today. If so that is a much wider walk-way then when the FrenchFry Rocks where in place.

Well...it's signaling a change in direction due to the contrast with Dumbos Space Spinner:

Thanks, I hate it. I don't think I really cared about the old rocks, but at least a little more imagination went into it than just flowers.

Are the buildings going back to their '98 coloring? I hope not.

I think they just used really, really old concept art and "painted" new stuff over top.

Well it’s a start. Now just get rid of the Astro Orbitor and make the entrance and the rest of TL look more like TL 67

The entrance used to always be flowers. This is a return to form, and I welcome it.

The empty track is in the background that is it, nothing more. I think what you are seeing is one of the Astro Orbitor rockets at the same level as the track. But that is no indication of Rocket Rods coming back. Sorry, not happening....

 

[Mac Tonight]

Ah yes, now I see it. The loneliest woman.

An empty track, whats your point? How does that indicate to you that Rocket Rods is coming back?

The building, homie. They used the 1998 Tomorrowland as the backdrop.

It says Rocket Rods: Ride the road to tomorrow on there.

Yes, it appears that they didn't grab a recent Tomorrowland picture to photoshop in the new planters. Perhaps they felt the beige-ness of the old buildings helped the new white planters (the real subject of the image) pop more.

Eleanor Rigby, looks at the planter where fry rocks had been, lives in a dream...

Don't tease her, she's probably wondering if the flowerbed was sponsored by Monsanto.

It was always Walt's desire that Tomorrowland reflect 1967 forever.

The flowers aren't bad, they're just boring.

I don't really know what's worse: the minimal amount of effort they put into creating concept art for this (the planters aren't even in the same configuration as the current ones). Or the fact that they had to publish concept art for this at all.

They probably weren't planning on publishing anything until people online kept saying "That's it? Just grass?!"

But I thought the execs don't give a rip about what the online fans say...

So they used the old backdrop, and? That doesn't indicate anything other than they are lazy with their concept art. Rocket Rod (or Peoplemover for that matter) cannot come back without a major tear down and rebuild of the track. Which would require it to be brought up to 2019 ADA standards. Which would require they rebuild a lot of the buildings since the clearance isn't up to standards. Sorry it ain't happening, at least not in the current project. If and that's a big IF they do a complete tear down of TL, then I could see something happening. But I'd rather them do Tron or some other attraction then to bring back a failed attraction.

Clearly, you've given this a lot more thought than I have. But you are one of this forum's special little snowflakes.

Looking at that picture, how are we supposed to know what land we are in? Nothing says Tomorrowland. We could be in Galaxy's Edge for all Tourists know.
