Just imagine… we turn Tomorrowland into peoplemover land… just a thought, but hit me up Disney

I think they should UNAPOLOGETICALLY AND UNIRONICALLY embrace the original ethos and aesthetic of Midcentury Modern, with all that entails. Imagine bringing back "Rocket To The Moon," with that aesthetic in mind, but update the writing and the ride experience to more closely reflect modern amusement technology. That glorious Sputnik and Mercury Redstone optimism! That explorer spirit!

Man I absolutely love those vintage clips. So calming

You definitely nailed it.  Tomorrow land needs to be a place to inspire people and education.   A place you want to go to because how amazing it looks

I'm old enough to have experienced Peak Tomorrowland and it was PEAK Tomorrowland. All the motion in the land (between the Monorail, People Mover, Skyway, Autopia, Submarine Voyage, Rocket Jets IN THEIR CORRECT LOCATION and even the rotating theater) had such a kinetic energy that you couldn't help but be excited when you walked in. I fact, it was the top land in the entire park. If they could bring back even a taste of that period, the world will be a better place.

Oh, and never give up on your People Mover dream. It was as wonderful as you imagine, even better than the WDW version.

All I really want in Tomorrowland right now is a fixed PeopleMover, a way to get Astro Orbiter back on the roof, Starcade, and attractions back in the Carousel, Magic Eye, and maybe even turn Pizza Planet back into an attraction. A large part of the problem is that so many spaces aren't being used to their full potential, if at all.

if they would just dust off the 1967 blueprints for tomorrowland,rebuild it,and call it "walt disney's vision of tomorrowland" i think everyone would be happy. it's what he wanted it to be,and that's all it needs to be.

Great video Dallin. I think aesthetically, Disneyland’s Tomorrowland’s best elements are the Retro-Futurism inspired things. It has this optimism, whimsy, and sleekness that is way more timeless than sterile and modern design.

The inner space ride was awesome!

Tomorrowland should be Mid-Century Modern   "1958 to 1968"    The time of the Space Race, Duck and Cover, The Transistor, Color TV, The Atom for Peace and of course bring back the Peoplemover in its full ORIGINAL glory, meaning second-story loading with the "Astro-Jets" back up on the second level for that great view of Disneyland again.......

They should bring back Push the trash can. It was literally one if the park trash cans on a motorized device, with a speaker and camera attached. I got to see Push, and also noticed the person controlling him hiding in the crowd. (He had ine had one hand weirdly tucked into a duffel bag, was speaking into a walkie talkie, and was carefully watching the scene.) There was a voice modulator, so this trash can had an adorable little robot voice, and would banter with guests while asking kids for trash to eat. I think this was in the 90s - so there's all these fancy attractions around, and meanwhile an excited crowd was gathrred around a friendly bin.

A compete overhaul of carousel of progress  pls. Same story new animatronics and special effects and narration

it needs to be the future of yesterday, the 1950s retro future

The year of 1977 was, for me, the top time to visit Walt Disney’s Tomorrowland! The creator genius and soul were still in every corner of that place. ✌️

Man I agree! Tomorrowland should be a land of HOPE! Hope for a better world. Use the aesthetics of Space Mountain and spread it to the entire land with a secondary color in lights. But I also think they should lean into the retro-futurism and frame everything as being 'In the Space Year 2000!' just because it would be funny :p Also get Star Tour out of there. Just build a new version in Galaxy's Edge.

Disney needs to bring back an optimistic future view-I agree. I think we are living through a 20,000 Leagues under the Sea theme. There are solutions to a better future, but we are not allowed to have them-Tomorrowland movie theme too. We are not being allowed to question and dream? It is strange.

Tomorrow Land at Disneyland in Califiornia needs the roller coaster TRON Light Cycles ride.
The innoventions building isn't really being used and takes up a lot of space, if they tear the "Innoventions" building down, and repurpose and re-dress the old "Rockey Rods"/"People Mover" load in structure as the load in for Light Cycle ride,
it is possible to engineer and construct a version of the Light Cycle Ride.  Tomorrow Land needs an cyber-space integrating with the real world theme.  Like Sid Mead  "techopolis" meats soft "cyber punk" kind of them.
They just need to do it and start asap.   The People Mover was boring.

Such a thorough analysis!

This is only tangentally related to the video, but Autopia actually takes up so much space. Like, SO much space. You can fit THREE Space Mountains in that area. It actually blows my mind they haven't removed it for either a Tomorrowland expansion or just a new land entirely.

The sky tram, although older, was also part of the esthetic.  You have moving Monorails, PeopleMovers, submarines, sky trams, the Carousel and even the Omnimover in Adventure, all moving at the same time, even before Space Mountain.  Oh yeah, Autopia.  Well, see, I was there, and I remember at least two Autopias... and they were dumb.  If I wanted to travel in a car on a freeway, well, that's how we got to Disneyland.  Along with the added bonus of being yelled at by my Dad.  Yeah, not my favorite... well, not so much.  Mission to the Moon/Mars, well, that was also cool, but Star Tours is better.
And seeing real company names on the rides, TWA, McDonell Douglas and Monsanto (well, ok, again, not so much) just brought this marvelous fantasy even more into a real world.
Hey, were you even alive in 1967?

Still good stuff.
