Originally Posted By FerretAfros I've thought for a while that DL should do a retro-TL, similar to what DLP and WDW have, but using the 1950's and 60's for inspiration. A lot of what is there could easily be repurposes, as there are some really good googie bones there. They would need to do some modifications to make it look new again, but there is a lot to work with. While the '67 World on the Move was full of futurism and hope, they could kick it up another notch and make it fun and futuristic in today's society, where the future isn't seen in the same light.

If they were planning anything that would borrow from Future World at Epcot, then that would change what I'd want to see at Tomorrowland. However, it might be good to instead see Disney turn Tomorrowland at DL into the next generation of Future World.

Originally Posted By EighthDwarf I think in order to keep a lasting theme for TL they have to base "tomorrow" on the past's vision of tomorrow, which is set in stone. Otherwise it will be always be a moving target as today's vision of tomorrow is always changing. I think the DLP version does this quite well. But Nemo and Buzz don't fit very well into that vision.
Originally Posted By pleiades357 LOVE-DCA agree, I love the space port feel... it would work well even outside, a space port plaza, the gift shops and vendors would fit in well and the plaza would have a theme of sorts adding a bit of glow fest is a good idea, brighten up the night
Originally Posted By SpokkerJones I would turn it into a 1984-like dystopian vision of the future where photography is not allowed and security forces beat you if you talk back and it's all justified because Tomorrowland is always under a vague threat from another nation. By the time they get it done it will feel nostalgic to most Americans.

Gotcha. Well if it's any consolation I'm a terrible typist and horrible proofreader. BTW, you can add the correct spelling of Tomorrowland to your dictionary in Outlook the next time it tries to correct you.

Plus the steampunk angle. And seriously, more robots. Maybe Wall*E could play a larger role somehow. Build a theme park according to what people in the '50's THOUGHT the future would be like. That could be awesome.

Also I don't think Disney should jump so far into the future. When Walt Disney designed tomorrowland he was thinking 20 years ahead, I think we need to do the same thing. Keep the idea of Space Mountain but I think it needs a whole new ride inside. Everything else (maybe not subs) needs to get blown up and redone. Autopia I think is the biggest waste of space where they could build some great rides. The Place is also so congested that if they do redo Tomorrowland, that needs to be the first thing they think about when they consider new attractions.
