    If ever there was a designed-by-committee attraction and visible budget cuts, this is the one.

I only wish that they could have done a little more on the right side of the track, since it all seems to be on the left.

    both total wastes of time & space

    Innoventions is really not that great either, but I feel like the last year or two has at least been worth visiting every now & then...

Nothing makes any sense - even to people who have seen the movie.

    Tomorrowland needs a massive makeover.
