The theme of Tomorrowland hasn't been "the future" for 40 years. Since then it has been tenuously "what we used to think about the future" with a little bit of "fantasy science fiction."

I wouldn't mind a better tomorrow, but honestly have little interest in hearing about it from Disney.

40 years ago I was 10, and Tomorrowland was perfect! ;)

There's the problem: you should have stopped growing up!

I don't want to grow up, I'm a Tomorrowland Kid!

Whether it was shrinking to the smallness of an atom (and thereby learning that atoms are the building blocks of everything we see and touch), or flying to the moon (and learning about reduced gravity and the vacuum of space) (oh, and comets - COMETS!!!), Tomorrowland was the Great Hall of Science from the county fair, but on steroids. Now, it's "Spaceland," and suffers in comparison to its far more noble younger self. Give me back my Tomorrowland of Science, and "Optimistic Futurism".

Yes! That would be fantastic! Bits of education, fun facts, and an optimistic, better future. Idealized, I'm sure, but that's ok- an idealized future could be a lot of fun. Give us something to shoot for in the real world. Like Jules Verne did. Came up with implausible, impossible, wonderful things, and then we started working on how to make it happen for real.

I think they should paint everything copper and green and cover up those horrible Mary Blair murals

Well, I for one, always enjoyed the ride of the People Mover. At this point I do not see how feasible it would be to bring them back since the former show buildings/queues they traveled through have changed a lot? It would be nice to see movement like this in Tomorrowland. I'm with Cheeseman, the Tomorrowland I remember so fondly was filled with promise and cool things.

I'd be thrilled if they got rid of the rocks at the entrance and open it back up.

I don't want them to bring back the old stuff, I want new stuff! Kenetic movement of old, perhaps. Dead space put to good use, for sure. New "E" Ticket ride or two, even at the expense of Innoventions, Autopia, and Subs-YES!!!

I have just had a conversation with someone who talked directly with a very reliable source (as in Disney legend). According to said legend, any rumors of the subs going away are flat untrue.

Reliable source, clear denial....

If I was a sub fan I'd start planning my farewell rides now.
