News Tron coaster coming to the Magic Kingdom

Apart from the bits they forgot.

I’ve said it elsewhere, if plans come to fruition the land will look more 1975 than 1994.

That's good news in my opinion!

Why does everyone seem to assume Tron's going to have a sponsor? What was the last new attraction at WDW with a sponsor (Though, to be fair, there haven't been many brand new attractions at WDW)? Tron is Disney, in Tomorrowland. I don't think there's gonna be any sponsors here.

That makes me think/hope they might go with a look and feel similar to the aesthetic of Xandar from GotG or the Tomorrowland film. White metal and/or glass eco-friendly (looking) buildings with clean, sleek, smooth lines and curves accented by blues, grays, and silvers surrounded by energy-efficient landscaping.

Tomorrowland 1994 is on borrowed time.

Does it even still exist though?
Delta Dreamflight -> Buzz
Alien Encounter -> Stitch -> closed
Timekeeper -> MILF
PUSH -> gone
Arcade -> gone

The only things keeping a theme of an alien spaceport are Sonny Eclipse, Space Mountain, Astro Orbiters, and the Peoplemover

More than fair. Everything they did touch seemed like a win to me, but you’re right that the stones left unturned were problematic and remain so (the ones that haven’t been ripped out, at least)

Is that all still even on track? It seems like it has been all but forgotten. I hope not.

I can't wait to ride on Tron Coaster in the Magic Kingdom and I wanted to see the shops inside the exit of the ride including Fastpass Plus! in the entrance in the ride!

That sounds like a shame. “The Future THat Always Was and Never Will Be” was perhaps the most brilliant approach they’ve ever taken to a Tomorrowland

aside original intent, perhaps...
but i can't shake the vision of a raising white flag, either.

Hey, I was born in 75. The last thing I want to see is avocado colored buildings and burnt orange carpet in the shops.

Why not?

The site's British. Discovered some profane Americanisms it doesn't censor.

The Lunching Pad! I remember that, in it's original location!!

 

[Bocabear]

Laugh if you want, but the original color styling for Tomorrowland attractions was brilliant...it has gone out of fashion and come right back in. That geometric abstract wall treatment is fabulous.

 

[HauntedPirate]

While never finished, I miss its relatively-cohesive theme for Tomorrowland. I liked Tomorrowland '94 for what it was.

 

[Goob]

Ya see, colors can be associated with certain time periods.

There’s a certain poster here that doesn’t seem to get that.

if I didn't know layouts, I'd say Epcot was embracing that color scheme full on then.

I was trying to figure out what year the pics were from. I love guessing, so i am going to! I think the one with all the people eating inside is most likely somewhere between '88-'91, or maybe even '92.
