Blast from the past....

While eating in Redd Rockets Pizza Time Theater, my DW and I noticed all of the posters that they put up on the wall celebrating Tomorrowland. All but two, Autopia and the Monorail are gone and nothing has replaced them.

Skyway - gone / no replacement
Mission to Mars - gone / no replacement
Submarine Voyage - gone / no replacement
Circlevision - gone / no replacement
PeopleMover - gone / no replacement
Motorboat Cruise - gone / no replacement

Also, we lost the Carousel of Progress, Rocket Rods, The Rocket Jets (the Astro-Orbiter just doesn't do it for me) etc. How in the world did we ever get to this point?? It's really sad. Tomorrowland used to be the place where I would use up all my E tickets in. Now, I'd have trouble using up my C's.

Excellent points - we are visiting in August (taking our two children --ages 6 and 9 -- for the first time).

In our planning discussions with the kids, we are intentionally not focusing at all on Tomorrowland, since we don't want to draw attention to how screamingly limited and bland that area of the park has become. That still leaves me worried about them being disappointed when we visit, for what is there for them now?

- Astro Orbitor (yawn - they've been on better rides at local carnivals).

- Autopia (a child getting to drive a little car around a fixed track may have been a big, exciting deal back in 1955, but even with new paint it's now getting beyond a little tired).

- Honey, I Shrunk the Audience (we already did the original version at WDW. Yes, it's fun, but the kids reaction will inevitably be somewhat "been there, done that").

- Starcade (yawn again).

- Star Tours (re-read notes about "Honey, I Shrunk the Audience")

- The American Space Experience (they'd benefit more from a viewing of "To the Moon and Back.")

The list above isn't a "Tomorrowland" - it's a "Leftoverland."

No doubt that Tommorrowland needs some CPR. (please don't disrespect ST and Autotopia...I love them!)

But thinking back on it, when I was growing up I did not have Indy, Star Tours, Soarin, Electric Parade, Grizzly, Fantasmic, WWTBAM, Haunted Mansion, let alone Downtown Disney and Grand Californian.....


I miss my Tommorrowland, but I have way more fun now at DLR than I ever used to. Since the addition of DD/DCA I have conviced many of my non Disney friends to travel there - and many are now die hard fans of the resort!

I will be thrilled when (even though when is a long way off) Tommorrowland revives, but for now, I am still a happy customer.

We recently returned from a 5 day trip and didn't even step into Tomorrowland the entire time. There was nothing there to draw us in.

Tomorrowland is a mess. Even my parents complained about it after coming back from their last visit, and they usually don't complain about anything regarding Disney.

Bring back Captain Eo! haha

if you by pass tomorrowland, you bypass a very good pizza and salad restaurant (redd rocket's)--don't sell the whole place short!
