Unfortunately, I think the "future" as a design concept seems to have faded in our post millenial times. Perhaps something other than terrorism will come along and inspire us to look forward again.

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.
