Tomorrowland re-do?

[Nick]

Some parts of this are coming together while other parts just blatantly stick out like a sore thumb still. I realize they aren't done though so we'll see what it looks like as a cohesive vision once all is said and done. I think it will be a bit of an improvement either way over what it was before as long as everything has the same-ish look in one way or another. The problem with Tomorrrowland before was it was all over the place and very cheesy looking/dated.

These are new, right?

 

[Parkscope Joe]

Sort of? Looks like they're covering parts up.

They look better, but I was hoping they'd go back to the original white googie aesthetic of Tomorrowland. The back half never lost it, so it would only be an update to the front half.

Has there been anymore updates to the area? Non Tron related

Didn't really know where else to put this:

 

[Mad Dog]

Supposedly three firetrucks & 15 firefighters on the scene. People Mover & Astro Orbiter shut down.

The Future doesn’t look to reassuring...

Hopefully that looks much worse than it really is.

 

[Mad Dog]

Astro Orbiter back open.

But what of my beloved PeopleMover?

Looks like it re opened. Wait times are posted on TP's app.

Should’ve kept the Buck Rogers look

Motor on the beltway probably burned out or something.

Motor on the beltway probably burned out or something.

When it reopened, the beltway was off so i'd say that's a good guess. At some point, the attraction is gonna need to fully replace that beltway with a newer one. It's very unreliable and breaks down constantly because the parts for it aren't in production any more so they're incredibly expensive. That's exactly why they got rid of the moving walkway at the end of Space Mountain.

Project is picking up in terms replacing theming elements and replacing now. Pretty much all of the metallic stuff from the 90's redo is coming down and the land is reverting more to how it looked in the 70's, but with a modern flare. I'll be interested in how it looks when full complete. I'm think the land already looks better simply with the removal of some of those dated thematic elements.

As long as they leave the music loop alone, I'll be fine with this aesthetic streamlining.

I still liked the look of TL94, but it was time for a shakeup.

Now bring back the spires at the entrance from the hub

Totally agree on the spires. Would make for a much more majestic entrance than space rocks do.
