Tomorrowland Overhaul Speculation

There is so much indecision, changing direction and second guessing throughout the design process that what is built often is rushed at the very end.

That's what happens when the build edict comes from on high (corporate) and doesn't stem from a spark of inspiration. There's no overall creative vision, no passion. Everyone working on it is just trying to keep their jobs and make the bosses happy.

I was right on a lot of my predictions on GE And it’s effect (or lack thereof) on DL. I knew Falcon was going to be a dud a few months before it opened. With that said, when Falcon was first announced I really thought it was going to be this amazing next gen simulator (before details started coming in). I thought being that this was going to be the FALCON in Disney’s new billion dollar land that it had to be next level. Not sure exactly what I was expecting other than it was going to blow Star Tours out of the water because of the advanced tech over the past 30+ years, all the possibilities they could do with the Falcon and what I imagined the movement to be like.

they really screwed up by not adding more thrill to ride system. there should have been no reason for it not to have full 360 degree movement

Agreed. The whole thing needs to be reworked. Especially the ride system. I wouldn’t be too surprised to hear of a major re working in the 5-10 years.
I seriously doubt they will ever do a reworking of the ride. As far as they are concerned, the ride works really well and has minimum downtime. They may come up with new random missions but they are never going to open world or allow the simulator to spin.

Yeah the simple fix of randomizing missions ( using familiar locations) and simply ramping up the intensity on the simulator is enough. the silly location the current mission goes to including the odd ball stop mid way hurts the attraction the most IMO.

INTERESTING THEORY TIME:

I believe with the current rethemeing we are seeing within Disneyland's tomorrowland and even Disney worlds (Although I dont believe they will redo Disney worlds astro orbitor because it could just have a small repaint it could fit with in the classic theme they are doing) I believe we may see Disneylands astro orbiter removed to make more room at the entrance and put back ontop of the peoplemover,
(However not the current astro orbiter as it would be too heavy which was the main reason it was put infront of the people mover tracks in the first place.)
I believe they could remove the old rocket jets ride which is now the old non functional observatron and place the recently removed Star jets from Tokyo Disneyland on top in its place. Perhaps with an updated central rocket design but the same ride none the less as the 1998 retheme of tomorrowland is clearly being done away with, It only makes sence to revert back to a theme that did and does work today as with what we are seeing happen today at both Tomorrowlands. As both are now going to a clean white scheme as to what we saw in the 60’s and 70’s, So having a gold astro orbitor at an already condenced entrance wouldnt make sence. However taking taking down the old observatron and placing star jets in its place is a touching tribute and would also work better with the theme aswell as the overall experience of the ride as you then have that feeling of being high in the air as opposed to only a few feet up off the ground like the current ride experience.
