Tron was just starting to be built the last time I was at WDW, so this makes sense.

...never seen the original from that angle before!Sure, add the Walt AA.
But, again, I still say they need to take the final scene back to the 1960’s, in all its Walt-era mid-century modern glory…!

That being said, isn’t there enough room to recreate Horizons upstairs…?!
(btw...great posture in 1964!)

What is upstairs at the MK version? Anything? Or just facade? I’ve been in the lounge backstage but never heard of an upstairsSure, add the Walt AA.

What is they replaced the 40s with that 60s oneand then the last scene is the modern day/slight future
So do 1900s, 1920s, 1960s, 2020s - just to space things out a bit more vs giant jump.
Otherwise, probably best to keep it retro-future and not do anything modern day
Yeah, that, or go in 40 year increments: 1900s, 1940s, 1980s, 2020s?

As long as Sarah keeps her Progress Tech sweat shirt I am good!
I like they started to sell Figment's holiday sweater, I wish they sold the Progress Tech sweat shirt!

Now Walt will actually be in an attraction for those who thought he was in The HM singing.

Me neither...any evidence out there for its existence beyond being a glorified attic? Even if there is, it was certainly never anything like the upstairs when CoP was in Disneyland or the World's Fair.

I personally would set the final scene specifically on December 31st 1999 and put in as many nods to 1999 as possible including elements from the Millennium Celebration. That way the show will literally last one century and have as much millennial nostalgia as possible.

To be fair the entrance to Buzz was not really changed that drastically from when it was Dreamflight.

yes...but...it was more subtle b/c it wasn't as cartoony plus the color scheme blended better (at least pre-1994 reno). Buzz's entrance, however, did become less obtrusive for me after they added Mike Zouski to Monsters' entrance and Stitch to his entrance...by the time there were 3 cartoony entrances to Tomorrowland attractions I was like "whatever" (nm that "stage") and felt like they threw people like me a bone by changing some parts back to 1971 design

I’ve never purchased LL in my life but wouldn’t even look at the price if they updated the end to include a speed ramp to the upper lounge that leaned into mid century retro futurism and let you sit in luxurious recliners while watching an accurate recreation of Horizons on an Apple Vision device.Sure, add the Walt AA.

It’s been hard convincing my family to go on COP ( I personally loved it as a kid), so I’m hoping this update will give them more interest! Was a timeline given?

Obviously not going to happen with the rework of buzz…. But if they were going all in on retro Tomorrowland replace buzz with an updated retro horizons next door!

I was being a bit silly, based on the fact that there were post-shows on an upper level of the attraction at both the ‘64-‘65 World’s Fair and the Disneyland versions - “Skydome Spectacular” and “Progress City”, respectively.
There is no (publicly) accessible upper level at MK.

@donaldtoo thank you for sorting something out for me....I always wondered exactly what preceded Progress City!

Indeed to the above, and I wish that’s what they’d do. The 20-ish year spans made perfect sense chronologically…not too long and not too short.
Now, if they wanted to build an additional theater (continuing the theme) representing the 1980’s, 2000’s, 2020’s and 2040’s, I wouldn’t be opposed…!!!
