Tomorrowland Overhaul Speculation

[George Lucas on a Bench]

Oh no. I like them.

Well its easy and cheap to put plain pavers and planers with black metal fencing. So it can easily be changed in the future for the redo.

True I just don’t think some trees or planters at the very edge of the hub will have anything to do with the future TL entrance. I’m looking at this more as a hub project.

I suppose, since its a two-for-one project I assume its under the Stardust budget.

@smile wait, when did they axe the show scenes?

the box is as big as it is to house track, which is themed
... the bulk of show is the queue and pre/post launch, in the old energy building

I'm just going to say it. These walkway widening projects just result in more people and things on the walkways with the same crowd flow issues as before. The Adventureland entrance is a great example of this. As bad as it was before, it has even more people and strollers now, with the same awkward bottlenecking. Instead of rocks, there will now be more people cluttering the entrance of Tomorrowland.

No it doesn’t. The Adventureland project is the one of the best things they did. I’m specifically talking about after you get around the bathrooms/ store through Bengal. There is much better crowd flow there now and pretty much nothing was lost.

I had a chance to visit the park last week quickly on a business trip and was just surprised at the number of face tattoos and girls butts hanging out of shorts, teenagers groping and so on....,
It just came off as a strange and not exactly family friendly. I’m sure I just hit it on a bad day.

To be fair I am only 20 (TROR isn't the only one) so I was not around "back in the day" to see what it was like out in public and in Disneyland specifically in the past but I think this is just more of a change in society. It is more widely accepted for the most part to dress in more "revealing" clothes and be more public with affection between couples. I do agree that Disney should maybe put a little more effort into having a dress code that ensures girls for example aren't wearing very revealing tops or short shorts that would be inappropriate for a family environment like Disneyland, but I also am not saying they should be wearing ankle length skirts and button ups, etc. I just believe the cultural norms today are too different than they were in the 50's / early 60's when Disneyland was still fairly new and people dressed up for a day in the parks as much as I personally would enjoy having more of a dress code like that.

I'm talking about the main entrance. I can't really comment on the other bit because I never even noticed a change.

Besides, I thought you were anti-Stardust anyway because they replaced bricks with superior benches at HM.

This. Around the same age as you guys too!

I mostly am. But Adventureland happens to be one that was done well as they actually sacrificed a store instead of planters. We got more seating for Bengal and got the strollers out of the walkway.

Superior benches? How? That is the worst offender of Stardust. They eliminated (not reduced) the planter completely and didn’t even create any room when you consider they added the benches against the wall.

Never really liked the rocks, always a bottleneck in that area so hopefully this helps a bit.

All of a sudden I'm feeling pretty old here at 22...

I hope Disney focuses less on the space aspect of Tomorrowland. It’s the most over saturated aspect of the tomorrow theme in “Tomorrowland”.

That's because it's the best part. But now with Galaxy's Edge, most space content should go there. Stuff like X-Wings engaging in dogfights above the planet of Batuu simulated by a roller coaster.

IT'S FINALLY HAPPENING!!

Disneyland is removing the ‘french fry’ rocks in front of Tomorrowland

The artificial rocks have been at the land’s entrance since it was remodeled in 1998.

I always hated those rocks. They don't look right.

I say they should overhaul Tomorrowland with a focus on earth in the bleakest way possible. Experience a dark ride showing cities with drastically elevated sea levels. Experience a new Backdraft-like show that puts you in the middle of ever-increasing wildfires.

Nothing says Disneyland like an apocalypse.

Especially with the empty park this past summer

Hey, still better than Dinoland.
