Did some digging and uh… yikesAlthough he's controversial, a certain Patrick from the old Back Door Disney account confirmed they were basically trashed iirc.

So sad to see ANY animatronics in this state. Wish they had more respect for their creations. I don't even have the heart to upgrade my animatronic Tiki Bird. I posted a few picts of its initial dissection a few years ago and people thought I was desecrating it!Did some digging and uh… yikes
Yep those are what I remember seeing back then, he also uploaded the now infamous destroyed Stitch animatronic.Did some digging and uh… yikes
I just want Tomorrowland to feel like a real "land."
In every iteration it's felt too much like a plaza. I want to know when and where we are. I want to know who's land it is. I want to know this place had some kind of history before the time I'm experiencing it in.
Brick warehouse in the land of Tomorrow? Maybe not that idea... The 1994 Tomorrowland did the most for adding a storyline for the land, though it was value-engineered and then reduced over time as things broke down... It was supposed to be a city with municipal transportation, a convention center etc... Then they decided to go back to the original and add a non-sensical paint job instead of doubling down on the 94 concept and finishing it out with more character and storyline.I think retrofitting in some urban design and new facades could achieve that. Make the SGE building look like a brick warehouse underneath, and the opposing structures look like a small town square or something. Idk exactly but in the same way that Storybook Circus resembles a real place. Maybe TL is a former industry town that has become a hub for innovative technologies. Fits well in Florida considering NASA and everything...but eh
Reminds me of the time when they decided to bring the DLP Jules Verne theme to DL's Tomorrowland and it just didn't make sense..Brick warehouse in the land of Tomorrow? Maybe not that idea...

With the addition of Tron, it now needs some details to mesh the architectural styles together, another attraction, a destination restaurant and it needs to evict the Toy Story characters and come up with some fun futurist concepts...
It works in Paris, but the land was designed that way out of the gate... The scale of Disneyland was the big problem... The darker finishes made the buildings look even smaller, especially Space Mountain...and it just never looked right...Reminds me of the time when they decided to bring the DLP Jules Verne theme to DL's Tomorrowland and it just didn't make sense..

Then how would it be Tomorrowland? Why are people so happy with the removal of Future World and Tomorrowland. Why does everyone want Disney Parks to be another Universal? Disney Parks we’re number one because of the unique experiences. Now everyone wants these parks to be more like a number two park.
Putting more IP in doesn’t make it any more about tomorrow than it does today.It would be more of a Tomorrowland then it is now. With it's non futuristic Monsters Inc and 1960's cars.
Agreed. Wreck it Ralph would really be no different than the speedway or monsters inc. It's just ip shoehorning for the sake of trying to sell a plush doll. They have plenty of things they could do, but if merch sales aren't a guarantee, it won't happen. So no chance we get something original, and that's what we should get.Putting more IP in doesn’t make it any more about tomorrow than it does today.
I think they should add Wreck-It-Ralph. Not in the Stitch location though. Indy Speedway becomes enclosed and the building is an extension of Light and Power Company which now becomes Flynn's arcade. One entrance leads to Tron...the other Sugar Rush. Look at how the MarioKart ride at Uni is...and do something akin to that with the augmented reality (leaving the same driving ability it has now) but themed to Wreck-It-Ralph. It would be a perfect blend from Fantasyland to Tomorrowland.Agreed. Wreck it Ralph would really be no different than the speedway or monsters inc.

The whole park needs more capacity- just spend some money and put something that “might fit theme” in there, for goodness sakes… (man, how my thinking has now come full circle)
