I am making a LONG thread about Tomorrowland here, I already know there's millions of these. Sorry.
**
I was thinking, is paint in Tomorrowland enough? Basically, Buzz Lightyear, Nemo Submarines, and Paint are the only changes lately (Nemo is still rumor), and yet everyone says Tomorrowland is fixed. Is paint and a new ride fixing the land?
We still have many deep rooted problems in the land: Peoplemover track (aside from rumors, nothing happening there), Innoventions (not that bad but wastes alot of space), Redd Rocket's (it's a cool place but how about a real ride there), etc.
Blue paint, as refreshing as it looks, cannot erase all that. It simply conceals it more.
That's not to say I don't like the newer look of Tomorrowland. It really does look very good. Much better. But Tomorrowland has just not reached its potential...EVER. And right now, it's very far from reaching it.
Here are my one by one ideas for fixing and renovating Tomorrowland to make it a futuristic, NON CARTOON, land as it had been intended.
BUZZ LIGHTYEAR ASTRO BLASTERS--As it's a cartoon (and this is not Fantasyland), it doesnt deserve space here. Remove it--and put in something like a Tron darkride.
STAR TOURS--This actually works in Tomorrowland, but it needs a new film. Perhaps it could be turned into Storm Rider (like from Tokyo).
STARCADE--Reopen the second level and make it all free, and you play the games via a card, like at many arcades. Not only is it more convienient to not have to carry loads of coins, but it would also increase attendance. Okay this probably wouldn't happen but.
SPACE MOUNTAIN--Nothing needs to be done, I don't think. It hasnt reopened yet.
REDD ROCKETS--Put in a beautifully updated Mission to Mars. Redd's can fit somewhere else without wasting attraction space.
INNOVENTIONS--Put the Carousel of Progress on the bottom level as the star attraction, and let Innoventions keep the top. That's fair.
AUTOPIA--Make it futuristic. Paint is not enough--although the cars look sleek, they don't look futuristic at all.
SUBMARINES--Just give the original idea a major overhaul--new spiel, effects, etc.--and don't install Nemo. I'm sorry, but he's not futuristic.
PEOPLEMOVER TRACKS--Put in Rocket Rods again. They were much more kinetic and added alot more feeling to Tomorrowland than the snail speed Peoplemover.
CLUB BUZZ--Well, it looks so much better now. Remove that stupid pole next to it. Make it JUST THE STAGE, no stupid decor.
ASTRO ORBITER--I don't particularly see why everyone wants it back up high. They only say that because it's gone. I never saw adults gleefully queueing up for this one without kids when it was high up. So just leave it where it is and make it silver and red, return it to its old theme.
MONORAIL--New trains. Otherwise this is fine.
MOTOR BOAT CRUISE--Okay, this isn't Tomorrowland. But just reopen it!
HONEY I SHRUNK THE AUDIENCE--Put in Alien Encounter. No, it isn't too scary, if you have the correct warnings or a height limit imposed.
What do you all think? I've made Tomorrowland futurustic and not cartoony.
