And now, it's looking like it's being put off for the UMPTEENTH time! This is suppose to be Tony Baxter's last great project before he retires. If it gets put off indefinitely .. he'll be gone .. and Tomorrowland will continue to be a relic of the Mid 20th Century!

Originally Posted By monorailblue A fair smattering of folks, myself included, much preferred the light, bright, sleek, clean vision of the future. The dingy, rusty, corroded, bronzy future was much inferior and is not missed.

Originally Posted By Moon Waffle I am happy that something is being done. But I still argue that letting the peoplemover track sit there for even one more year is absolutely inexcusable. Go ahead and take your time on replacing and updating everything else. I'm OK with that. But having an empty track up there is a disgrace.
Originally Posted By Moon Waffle Oh and as far as the color scheme goes, I loved the brown/gold/copper/green scheme and am abosoutely convinced that if TL98 had been a success, the majority of people would love that color scheme too. It just suffers from negative association with the failure that was TL98.
Originally Posted By Hans Reinhardt I thought the color scheme worked, but not as well as the original. The biggest problem with what they did was that it was done cheap – the transformation was achieved mostly by using copious amounts of metallic paint rather than redoing the land’s architectural scheme. The only buildings that had any serious cosmetic changes done were the old Carousel Theater and the Autopia loading structure. Had they used better materials, and revamped the architecture, the whole place would have looked shinier and more inspired than just painting the place shades of brown. The best example of this was the copper colored paint job given to Space Mountain. DL should have had a building that resembled the magnificent SM building in Paris. Instead, DL’s version looked faded, dull, and dusty within months of the land's grand opening, simply because they didn’t use the proper materials. The other problem with this “organic” look is that it inadvertently corresponded with the park’s west side. The first thing I thought when I saw the New Tomomorrowland in ’98 was that it looked like a futuristic Frontierland.

As I hear it, just before the Tomorrowland 2055 project (1989) was shelved, Eisner had pushed to make Tomorrowland into a "Montana of the future". Trees rockwork, water. Technology with a nature overlay.

Originally Posted By TMICHAEL Totally agree, I've been saying that since Rocket Rods closed. And instead of another PM re-do, I would rather Disney spend on something brand new and even, dare I say, INNOVATIVE for T-land.
Originally Posted By Bob Paris I got all excited when I saw this thing dismantled - I was hoping they were junking it. Damn - that would have been something to "CELEBRATE!!!!!!!1!!!!!(c) !!!!"
