Tomorrowland Overhaul Speculation

It only make sense that they start work on Tomorrowland. They needed GE for additional capacity while the Tomorrowland is worked on. That was something I talked about when GE broke ground years ago. A Fantasyland expansion could also have happened but definitely not at the same time.

I'm still waiting for them to fix the Yeti after Avatar opened which many thought would happen.

No worries - and surely, nothing can top Spaceship Earth. But I find Shanghai's Tomorrowland a very refreshing return to legitimate modernism, something WDI hasn't really done since '82 (or I guess '83 with Tokyo's Tomorrowland). Everything else in the past 35 years has been post-modern, winking at some previous style or some sort of retro-fantasy. Which is fine, but it's nice to see that WDI can still be forward looking if they want to be.

I suppose I agree in this view, I just don't find modernism pleasant. It's true, though, that even the 1967 overhaul of Tomorrowland was very much steeped in 1960's architecture and aesthetics. I don't think anything in Tomorrowland really resonates with me quite like the additions made in the late 70's and the 80's. Maybe it's the growing up with Star Wars but that's really what feels like the future to me.

Last year, Rohde tweeted he has been working on fixing the Yeti since 2013. How many millions has his personal crusade spent? It's been ten years since it was in A mode.

Good question, one I frankly don't really know the answer to. But Imagineering is also heavily interfered with. Which is why I said they needed free reign. But to say that there aren't people who have a ton of love and affection for Disneyland and can make such an expansion there right now ignores what great things we've seen and will be seeing with expansion in the international parks like Mystic Point and Grizzly Gulch in Hong Kong, the new color scheme of Sleeping Beauty Castle right there in Disneyland, and the large scale expansions in Tokyo. Of course there's still Pixar Pier, which is bad but was later said to be a donkey pull to make Lasseter stop bugging them while they worked on Marvel and Star Wars and make Imagineers prove they can do something cheap (you get what you pay for), and Galaxy's Edge which is flawed and unfinished but also had its budget for planned things that were ready to go and would have fixed a lot of its issues slashed through by the bean counters, but to base modern Imagineering on those two things when other recent projects have shown that there's still quite a bit of creativity in Imagineering is an opinion based on a poor premise.

What is a "donkey pull"? Never heard that one.

According to FreshBakedDisney the controversial rocks at the entrance to Tomorrowland are currently walled off. This tweet was the only evidence I could find



Does this mean they are finally being removed?

This might be an odd request to some but I'd actually like to see these rocks relocated to MK's Tomorrowland. Can we have them?
It's in such an in-between stage right now. We'll just take yours and improve our TL's barren landscape! I'm in the camp that says add more! Anything to give this land some oomph! Disneyland... give us your rocks!

Just a thought but won’t the Astro Orbitor look even more out of place without those rocks there? If the rocks go, I hope they Astro Orbitor isn’t too far behind. Heck? If they don’t go, I Hope the Astro Orbitor isn’t too far behind (ahead?)

I would think it’s the last thing to move after removing the People Mover tracks and any other buildings. The immediate benefit is more space in the hub.

I mean ya that would make sense from a capacity/ operations standpoint. I just want it out of the hub

If the barriers are surrounding the rocks as well as the curb, I don’t see it as too unreasonable to think they’d do it at the same time.

I don't know if anyone remembers but I believe there was a MC article earlier this spring stating the rocks were to be removed toward the end of the year (if I remember correctly).

So I think it might be right, this is going to be a two-for-one deal, finish the curb around the HUB and removal of the TL rocks.
