[Rumor] Tomorrowland Expansion

[D3COY]

So with Carsland opening up this summer and it really taking off and helping balance out the attendance and crowd issues between DCA and DLR, people are starting to talk about a possible tomorrowland expansion.

I have heard they are planning to remove innoventions, which I wouldn't really care because not enough people go there and I never go there my self. Also rumor that they might take out Autopia.

Does anyone have any further information on these rumors? or even heard of these rumors?

Re: Tomorrowland Expansion

Ive been hearing these rumors for years, but never anything credible. It seems to be more wishfull thinking. Who knows.

Re: Tomorrowland Expansion

Hopefully whatever they do to expand/renovate Tomorrowland will have one cohesive theme and really tie the entire land together.

Re: Tomorrowland Expansion

For a land based off Tomorrow....it sure does a bad job feeling high tech...or even like fake 70's version of the future....as of now..it's the most scatteredland in the parks

Re: Tomorrowland Expansion

All I keep hearing about the "expansion" of Tomorrowland is what is going to be removed...Innoventions, Autopia, now the Peoplemover, possibly the Submarines. I'll believe that there is going to be an expansion when someone starts talking about what they are going to put IN...

They will probably put in character based attractions that are only loosely themed to tomorrow and will have the story spoon fed to the audience.

Isn't that how all of the attractions are? I can not think of a single attraction besides Tom Sawyer Island where you A are actually a part of the story.

Every ride, pirates, mansion, soarin, racers, peter pan, all of those are rides where you SIT and watch. How do we become a part of the attraction and the story???

It's probably good not to re-enforce any of their ideas

Re: Tomorrowland Expansion

We have not been to D-land since it's 50th Anniversary and so we are expecting a lot. Seems like there might not be some rides open during Christmas week?

I beg to differ.

Peter Pan may be a sit and watch attraction, but the other ones definitely aren't.

Racers - you are being part of a race, with the characters from Cars getting you ready!

Pirates - you're traversing the waters as pirates duel it out, coming in close contact with cannonballs.

Soaring - you're in a hangglider, flying over California. you are the story.

You can find yourself being part of the story on almost every ride you go on.

Well played Chesire...well played. I was being slightly sarcastic though. I don't believe in being spoon fed lol

Exactly. Although with Pirates now it is also partly a spoon fed "find Jack Sparrow" story now instead of imagining you are part of the pirate world.

Re: Tomorrowland Expansion

The Jack story, while I don't really like it, hardly gives you any information. I wouldn't call that spoon fed by any means. As for Tomorrowland, I'd love to see futuristic movies put in. Wall E is a perfect fit, as is Tron. Original attractions are great too, but Disney's a film studio, so their properties should come first.

Re: Tomorrowland Expansion

I wouldn't say that Pirates makes you part of the story. I do believe that you are a spectator among the pirates. You as a person are never really mentioned, only the the first part of the ride wear the jolly roger warns you about whats ahead. between that and the lift back up is all just you as a spectator.

Haunted Mansion however does in fact make you part of the story. The house lures you in with its beautiful landscape and pristine and well kept house, Once inside you realize the true nature of the Mansion. The Ghost host greets you and takes you on a tour throughout the mansion even to go so far as to accuse you for waking the spirits during madam leottas seance room "The spirits have accepted YOUR sympathetic Vibrations, and are beginning to materialize". at the end the ghost host leaves you with a curse of a ghost following you home.

Re: Tomorrowland Expansion

My Dream Tomorrowland:
Things that stay-
Star Tours, Space Mountain, Submarine Voyage(retheme it please).

Things that Must Go-
Innovention(it just needs to go, it's really depressing), Autopia(If you have an idea for what could go here let me know), Buzz Lightyear(a Wall-E attraction of some kind to go in the space), and finally the PM tracks should be repaired and a TRON attraction will utilize them.

They sound like just what you labeled them...rumors. Mostly the same rumors that have been floating around for almost a decade now. TL definitely needs some attention, but until solid info comes along i wouldn't speculate on what will be going, staying, or newly appearing.

Re: Tomorrowland Expansion

Whatever they put in will probably be related to Marvel. No sarcasm intended.

[doppio]

Re: Tomorrowland Expansion

I'll take Marvel over Wall-E any day.

Re: Tomorrowland Expansion

^I didn't like Wall-E my self...but besides a few of the Marvel characters...Wall-E would fit more

So TL streets should be dirt and the buildings made to look like gigantic piles of cubed garbage?
