Tomorrowland Makeover

[Moonliner]

Which makes "Star Wars" a good choice because it is now a fixed point in time. Twenty years from now, mos eisely will still look like mos eisely, Vader will still look like Vader.

What I would have trouble with is a Star Wars themed land containing an Iron Man attraction or some generic type of futuristic theme that includes both.

Star Wars is big enough to take over Tomorrowland all by itself, save Marvel for a new park.

I agree with all of the above. And there is a purist in me that would hate to see Tommorrowland go, and the subs not return from the rehab, and the lagoon paved over. But a part of me likes the idea of paving over the lagoon and tearing out Innoventions to make a fantastic new E ticket in it's place. I'm not a huge fan of the subs, and I think they could make better use of the soundstage in DCA's Hollywoodland for the Marvel meet and greets.

I feel the 1998 makeover of Tommorrowland was a dismal failure. And I hope they can do better than steampunk (though I did kind of like Paris Tomorrowland a little). But staying ahead of "Tomorrow" is increasingly difficult as technology marches on at an exponentially quick pace, making the large investment in a makeover less appealing to Disney. So what is the fix? Anyone? Class??

Like I said, theme it to original series Star Wars movies. Twenty Plus years from now it will still be Star Wars and still look cool just like Potterland over at Universal will also stand the test of time.

That's what Disney already has planned. But if all of Tomorrowland becomes Star Wars, is it still Tomorrowland? Won't it be Starwarsland instead? And what's "futuristic/tomorrow" about a place from a long, long time ago? Granted, Tomorrowland always had something about space travel (which was futuristic in the 1950s and 1960s) and Star Wars and even Buzz Lightyear fit that bill. And your comparing it to "Potterland" brings it back to my point, should it then be renamed if it is 80% Star Wars? I'd be real surprised if Disney would ever go that far though.

I do think it will look cool, and I'm all for it if they remove the rock outcroppings and put the Rocket Jets back on top of a building, opening up the bottlenecked entrance!

Yes! I agree, absolutely. Space travel, alien worlds, undersea creatures, giant octopi and squid, high seas adventures! Could be totally cool.

Well now I want a Doctor Who land.

Hey, good idea!

But if we get one, it would be in England.

But that would be a good reason to go!
