New Tomorrowland Rumored for DL

[Parkscope Joe]

The OC Register has posted an article (It’s paid unfortunately but article was posted on Facebook) that discloses that there was indeed a plan to revive the People Mover back in 2013. The track was(is?) in better shape than rumored and could “easily support” several ride vehicles. It was simply cut due to budget.

Forgive me if the link sucks. I saw it from a FB group and wanted to post it to cite my source but again it’s paid. But yeah, the article proves that Disney does have the ability to pull it off, but they just don’t want to put down the money. Seriously pisses me off with how much more income they have had since then.

Bob Iger killed a DL TL redo last summer.

Best part is with Avatar Land coming and the monorail needing to be shut down, they could kill two birds with one stone and close off that section of the land and update it...but yeah they won't and in 20 years we will maybe get lucky

My guess is they are going to wait until Disney forward adds another subland or land behind Splash and then they will feel better about redoing TL, in sections

I just want Space Mountain to use screen or better projection tech and become super themed while on the coaster part, if they can make you feel like your flying through space vs just in the dark then I think it will be worth the years of work

Tomorrowland fix will be put off until tomorrow....and then tomorrow....and then tomorrow. ..................

I might be too hopeful, but my hope is that Tomorrowland was canned in favor of giving the project team more time to develop a plan for the eastern side of Disneyland while investing into DCA fully with projects already underway.

I think splitting the Autopia/Subs site with a half Fantasyland/half new Tomorrowland is the way to go.

Would love to see the space taken over by a Frozen/Tangled/BatB like area (or Villains). I expect Disneyland's Tomorrowland to receive slower updates like how MK's version is getting at the moment. Back to the mid-century look that's relatively easy (and cheap) to update.

Ideally I would love to use the TL half for TL (Maybe for DL’s version of the Tron coaster?) and the FL half to be used for a Matterhorn 2.0. Think what TDL is doing with their Space Mountain but with the Matterhorn. Matterhorn’s time is going to come eventually so I think they need to build a new one. Reserving the FL half of the Autopia/Subs space would be in their best interest.

Luckily he’s not in charge anymore. I pray that the D’Amaro + Dana team is more interested in sprucing up an opening day (kinda) DL land that has fallen into such disrepair.

Maybe this is me snorting lots of Copium, but D’Amaro strikes me as the kind of guy that seems to care more about why we want than Iger. Would love for something to finally come of TL.

Maybe stop overthinking it and not try to tie TL to a major IP. Make it original in overall theme. Disney will still take their time before they get to finally touching TL. Maybe get the first phase of Simba done to help with the capacity loss when TL does go down.

I've been trying to break a story about this for a long time, but my thesis is that Tomorrowland doesn’t work as a concept in 2026. The progressive view of the future (as in, one set to be saved by technology) really only worked … in 1955.

They’ve got to go a different direction or fully lean into nostalgia IMO.

Yep. Or go a route similar to Paris...Jules Verne...Steampunk etc. ....the future in the eyes of the Victorians....Heh, just copy Toothsome from Universal.

That is probably the answer. A fictional version of the future makes a lot of sense.

Funny thing is, that's what they wanted the "Tomorrowland 2055" redo to be, essentially taking a page from DLP's Discoveryland. Unfortunately, what DL got instead was a whole lotta' budget cuts, bronze/copper paint, Rocket Rods and disappointment.

Nonetheless, I do firmly agree the best direction to take Tomorrowland is a fictionalized version of the future. One that ends up timeless instead of running dated. Discoveryland does it great, and I honestly loved the Buck Rodgers type of ascetic that WDW's Tomorrowland used to have. But you do need the budget and then some to make it work, cutting corners just leaves you with the same problems as before.
