I wonder if they plan to spread this color schemes to other parts of TL. It's kind of a bold look to be everywhere, but I could see some touches here and there. It actually looks pretty good with the existing color scheme too

ORWEN: Now if they'd gone with orange and yellow it would have worked. Or pink and red would have worked. But NOT orange and red!!!

ORGOCH: Got color blinds?

Couldn't agree more. It's just terrible.

Disney please, please, please, hire MAD Architects, Zaha Hadid, Snøhetta, George Lucas... ANYBODY that understands contemporary modern design aesthetics and give them complete control over Tomorrowland, because it's obvious that WDI hasn't got a clue.

Yes. And that's not a good thing.

What a bunch of Debbie Downers. I've often wondered, who made the decision of what colors clash and, more importantly, why we need to be concerned about it.

Specifically to a Theme Park, isn't combining colors that pop out at you a good thing. Must everything be governed by what some random person decided we should think about it.

I prefer being a rebel.

There's nothing wrong with preferring something beautiful over something garish and ugly. If a witch sits back and just accepts the unacceptable she deserves to look at what's ugly. But I prefer my theme parks to be places of beauty.

Yes, context is important. In this case it's a theme park we're talking about, so authenticity may or may not be the first thing on the list of objectives for the designers. However, if Tomorrowland, or any thematic land, is to be believable the storytelling needs to jive with what the storyteller is trying to say. FLE, Carsland, and WWoHP do this. The painted on color-block scheme as shown in the photos doesn't. It would be like painted the Space Needle, The Gateway Arch, or LAX's Theme Building red and orange.

Over on the DL boards there's some disagreement about the new details in NOS resulting from the expansion of Club 33, and it's true that exterior renovations are a bit awkward, but at least the place still looks and feels like New Orleans. For the two US TLs though the changes over the past few decades have resulted in some of the best examples of WDW's worst work, and the Peoplemover red and orange paint job is no exception.

It is a very modern/futuristic style. It will be about the only danged thing in Tomorrowland that is. I don't know why on earth anyone would try to replicate someone's 1971 vision of the future.
