The score system for Buzz is off, sometimes the scores won't show up in the photos, or they'll show the wrong score. That could be fixed.

And Splash Mountain. That ride is always in various levels of roughness, with animatronics getting fixed one at a time, and often breaking again.

We generally enjoy it though it could use some TLC. I personally think it's a very good family attraction...a little competition.

The attraction itself is decent, but it doesn't belong in Tomorrowland.

It definitely needs some maintenance. One of the least upkept attractions in the park.

Yeah, then they could bring back the House of the Future presented by IKEA and have the spacemen and women walking around meeting guests.

What's wrong with having spacemen and women walking around meeting guests? They should look like this:

It's better than stormtroopers doing the same. Tomorrowland does need more droids wandering around.

Who said there was anything wrong with it? Tomorrowland sucks. I would love that sort of thing.

Yeah that very unloved Space Mountain with 90 minute waits ought to be done away with.

And those lines from a 30 to 70 minute wait for Buzz Lightyear, Star Tours, Autopia, the Submarines, are apparently unloved as well.

You must have a lot of company, because apparently of those thousands and thousands of people in Tomorrowland that are gladly wiling to wait for their favorite rides think it sucks as well.

And two large areas go underused, the "Launch Bay" and Buzz Lightyear, if those two venues could be replaced, we could get to very nice new attractions. And also move Astro Orbitor and get ride of the People Mover track to open up walkways and reduce traffic issues.

I'm in favor of The Carousel of Progress coming back.

Clearly there are elements of TL that people have affection for. The problem to me is the land's story - world of Tomorrow or whatever it is, who knows? - not a lack of popular rides.

I think Splash needs some fixing up in both parks. It seem despite Splash's popularity, it get's the back hand of it all. A lot of things are often in disrepair in both splashes.

(Also, isn't Space Ranger Spin in WDW? It's called Astro Blasters here in the 'Land ;) )

On the whole, Tomorrowland in general needs the most refurb. Once SWL opens, I vote they axe any and all mention of it from within and basically start from scratch. It could be what Future World at Epcot was, but done in a new and amazing style. Keep Space Mtn, but beyond that, everything is up for demo. I would love to see a well thought out SeaBase Beta used in place of Nemo's submarine. Remove Buzz (possibly relocate to DCA somehow) and use that building for a Horizons 2.0. The whole launch bay needs to be utilized properly, and Star Tours is easily replaced by something akin to Body Wars (though something tells me some new IP will just get shoved in).

That is exactly what I would do with Tomorrowland. I would keep the subs for transport to Seabase Beta which includes a "underwater" rollercoaster and stormchaser simulator. Horizons 2.0 for both Buzz & Star Tours. They are connected with a glass tube. Rocket Jets for the center. Tron cycles for Innoventions. A space themed restaurant complete with AA aliens and stage show in Pizza Port.

That type of ambitious thinking is all but dead at WDI, especially themes that are based on practical predictions of the future. While it all sounds high minded and cool, whatever they built would be dated the day it opened, and Disney would end up neglecting it because it wouldn't be driving valuable IP.

I like these ideas on paper, but I question WDI's ability to deliver them, and I don't see them going over big with the general public. For a number of other reasons I think Disney would be better off completely dropping the future as a theme at its magic kingdom parks and going full throttle science fiction in Tomorrowland rather than building a mini EPCOT.

Hell. Yes.

I say Autopia should stay and be upgraded, along with Space Mountain and maybe Astro Orbiter. Other than that, the rest of Tomorrowland should go, Star Tours and any other Star Wars reference included.
