Pshaw - like anyone needs a reason to call you names

As if more by accident than by design, we are seeing the the 1967 Tomorrowland in a new light. The abstract symbolism, the asymmetrical perfection of forms that dream upward with a clean and deliberate enthusiasm all call subconsciously for those who remember (and I imagine those who don't) to a better future - a dream future that is in line with the rest of the park.

Tomorrowland '98 did not improve on the vision of a wondrous future, as much as admit that if you can't plus Walt's idea, at least you can look busy if the budget allocates you liberal use of ugly paint.

I celebrate the return of the one true Tomorrowland Terrace.

my interpretation from the presentation was that the new "Rockin'" score(s) is written to be "choreographed" with the (two)attraction's dips, turns, new effects and finale. (though I thought the current score(s) acomplished this already.)

and welcome back Terrace! My "Dream" would include the return of Tahitian Terrace as well. doubtful, but it sure would please me. the Jedi Training Academy is not of interest to me, but, i think will be very popular with Guests and is a great balance to Princess Fanatasy Faire.


it would be groovy to see the Sunshine Balloon rise again in the evenings.:cheers:

Um, there was loud music and crowds and dancing last night at the re-christened and re-born Tomorrowland Terrace. It was the first time I've seen people having fun in Tomorrowland in a decade.

It was such an odd, but pleasurable sensation.

Suburban Legends were having a great time entertaining the crowd on the stage while Mickie and Minnie in Halloween dress danced on the stage. It was nice to see the place happening.

In other update news, the Halloweenicization of Main Street and the Disneyland entrance is adorable, and a suitably acceptable pale version of the Paris treatment that would never survive a day of ugly American destructive love.

But the decision to advertise "Halloweentime" and proclaim it at the entrance bigger than I've EVER seen them proclaim any other promotion ... and then have ZERO in the Park beyond Main Street and the Hub seems beyond lame to me.

I hear they are planing on rolling out Frontierland next year, but I think that will be too little, too late. Main Street is the part you pass through when arriving and leaving, and people barely spend any time there as a "land." It left me with the impression that Disneyland is NOT decorated for Halloween, and that Halloweentime means the time you get there and the time you leave.



Oh, and the new signs on the Disneyland Hotel are a nice reminder that they aren't the office blocks they seem to be, but they are the most puny reminders of the glorious DISNEYLAND rooftop signs that could possibly be imagined.


Huzzah, the stupid Mark Twain 50th "banner" is gone, but when are they going to remove the un-gold paint?



All-in-all, I give the immediate finally-post-50th stuff a C+.

And in WDW news, all the 50th banners (most of which had gotten ratty and stained) are GONE!

Walt Disney World is now "Where Dreams Come True." The signs that go over the roads at the entrance to WDW property have been redecorated, and they look quite spiffy.

Never mind. The schedule had changed and I forgot I already knew that.

So, I don't know.

There were still 50th banners in the China Closet

There's still a 50th Mickey over the train station clock, or at least it was there yesterday.
