Originally Posted By trekkeruss Frankly, Star Tours doesn't really fit in TL either, but it is there because the movie takes place in outer space with technology that is still beyond human means. I suppose then that means a Wall-E attraction could be great crowd pleaser. But I'd still like to see Disney return to the old TL ideals, and raise the bar so-to-speak, on how we look at future.

Originally Posted By steve777 They are redoing tomorrow land and they will add star tours 2 within it, they also plan a walle attraction as this area. This fits in very well due to the fact this film is like star wars but without humans only droids.I can see a simulator or dark ride based in this movie or even one like the spiderman ride in universal , now that would be cool. Also another great ride idea would be a spinning coaster like the nemo one in Paris.

Originally Posted By TMICHAEL >>>So while Wall-E is placed in the future, it doesn't really fit into the theme of TL.<<< And why not? If man keeps going along the way we have been, the visions in WALL-E could possibly be our tomorrow. Who here 10 years ago thought gas would reach five dollars a gallon? Polar bears would become extinct in twenty years? The ozone would get so thin that weather patterns would shift? .....hello future?! And when it comes right down to it, Tomorrowland hasn't really ever been about the possible future since Walt himself re-built it in 1967. No matter how thick your rose coloured glasses are, all Tomorrowland is, is a theme park area that has tomorrow in the name. Innoventions is the only attraction that tries to be realisticly showing the future but as we've all seen, it needs a ton of funding, upkeep and new additions to maintain the vision and it just doesn't get it on a regular enough basis.

Innoventions is a showcase for gadgets you can buy now. I'm not sure how funding is an issue since major companies pay to have their products on display. Little about Innoventions is futuristic. It's a glorified Circuit City showroom.

Originally Posted By SpokkerJones What used to be inside Innoventions then? It doesn't feel unchanged from when it first opened. The intent has always been to offer a place for sponsors (and Disney itself) to shill for their products.
Originally Posted By trekkeruss <<Tomorrowland hasn't really ever been about the possible future since Walt himself re-built it in 1967>> Yeah, the company has made excuses for the Tomorrowlands for a very long time. But regardless if I am wearing rose-colored glasses, they could make a TL that lives up to quote, "A vista into a world of wondrous ideas, signifying man's achievements... a step into the future, with predictions of constructive things to come. Tomorrow offers new frontiers in science, adventure, and ideals: the atomic age...the challenge of space... and the hope for a peaceful and unified world." Unfortunately, no one has the vision or guts to come up with anything other than junk like the Monsters Inc. Laugh Floor, HISTA, and Stitch's Great Escape.

Originally Posted By lesmisfan well i think that if they placed a wall-e insired attraction i would hope it would be the people mover. And i know some of you dont like that idea because wall-e is a bad vision of the future but what if, when the humans came back down brought some of the technology to make earth better. So you still have the peoplemover type attraction, and i would love to see some green plants all around making a new tomorrowland "green" friendly, this movie show alot of things that could influence a great new land.

Old TL -- mission to Mars (idea of the future), Space MOunain (futuristic in that people could go riding through space in mass rather than a few astronauts), adventures through inner space (which was more medical to me than anything, but I loved how we "shrunk" in that ride, wish my kids could see it), People Movers (not futuristic, but a nice rest of the feet and a fun trip through Tomorrowland), and Astro Orbiters which is futuristic for the same reason as Space MOuntain. Not the most futuristic place, but lots of fun! I sooooo wish they'd kept Adventures through inner space instead if putting in Star Tours, and Mission to Mars instead of HISTA (Captain EO was better than HISTA!!!).

Could be a ride-through like Adventures through inner space, hopefully not a simulation ride like Star Tours though, I can't ride that. Or they could put it in Pixar-Land, uh, I mean DCA, with the other Pixar rides.
