A Major Reason Why Disneyland Gave Up On Tomorrowland 

Star Tours is still a better ride than Smugglers Run.

I don't hate Tomorrowland, but I hate that significant improvements have seemingly been abandoned for guests who can't afford to get behind the paywall.😫

Honestly, I would rather ride Star Tours over Smugglers Run. Smugglers is the same ride each time, and only really fun when you're the pilot. I love walking through the Falcon, but it's not a must do for me. And Star Tours' wait is significantly less

The one thing Star Tours has that Galaxies Edge doesn’t, is the feeling and connection to the Original Trilogy. The cue is one of the best in the world.

The submarine lagoon is a beautiful open space. Disneyland is a small footprint and the lagoon adds asthetic value especially with its proximity to the iconic Matterhorn. WDW with its significantly larger real estate maximizes what is essentially beautiful landscaping to enhance the immersive experience. The submarine ride could be changed in some manner, but don't rip out what is in itself iconic. "Progress" isn't always successful or necessary. Just look at actual city planning in Los Angeles and how neighborhoods or certain buildings were bulldozed and replaced with generic developments. All that unique civic flavor was lost forever. Los Angeles is notorious for poor city planning. No need to do the same in Disneyland which is as much a magnificent art piece as it is a moneymaking theme park.

I remember Tomorrowland as a kid and loving to get up on the Rockets Jets just as the fireworks were starting. Tomorrowland used to have all this kinetic energy, the Tomorrowland Stage going up and down, The Carousel of Progress spinning, the People Mover moving throughout, the Subs, and the Monorail coming through. Tomorrowland needs that centerpiece that has motion, sound and light and for it be a destination, even a shaded elevated area to people watch down below would be appreciated. 😊

Space mountain is literally the best ride in the entire resort. I do agree Tomorrowland has been neglected big time at Disneyland to bring up Tomorrowland is to bring back the peoples mover for a start. Then to get a new attraction on there then to get it some new paint etc but to get rid of the original space mountain is not a good idea you can still open up that land behind and keep the same space mountain just fix the walkways to go around to get to that part of the land and add a new thrilling attraction behind the already great space mountain.

It does need a major overhaul but my fear is that they will replace 6 rides with 2 or 3. The subs are unique and classic but I wouldn’t mind a new theme. Autopia could be easily switched to electric cars and give it maybe a futuristic Tron aesthetic. Put Astro orbiter back where it used to be and rebuild the People mover tracks. Star Tours could be rethemed easily enough.

I did a live on TikTok talking about the abandoned buildings and wasted space etc. I’m so glad you covered this. I referred to it as an abandoned mall.

I am a huge Star Wars geek and really appreciate Galaxy’s Edge and think Rise of the Resistance is Disney at its best. I like walking through the Millennium Falcon to ride Smuggler’s Run. Yet, I find the antiquated Star Tours more fun than Smuggler’s Run. If they tear down Tomorrowland, they should move some of the Star Tours movie elements to the cockpit sections on the Falcon. The video game graphics don’t work so well, and if you’re not the pilot or copilot, you just get bored.

Great update and you confirmed a lot of observations I had connected together over the last year or so. Look forward to more updates as Disneyland Forward unfolds.

Excellent analysis. As I've said before, if they are going to fix Tomorrowland, the whole southern half of the the land has to come down and be rebuilt. It just isn't built for the needs, and with all of Peoplemover in it, you gotta pull it out. The problem is that the Lagoon is really popular. It makes Disneyland Disneyland, in my opinion. While it is true that Autopia and the Submarines probably do need to be replaced, because they do chew up a lot of real estate in such a tiny park, the Lagoon overall is a big boon, and while the rides for that part of the park are slowly dying, I don't know if removing it all is long term desirable. Let's face it, it's So Cal. That pond and shaded area is a boon overall, and helps make the summer tolerable. It's going to be tricky what to do with that area. The main avenue, though? Complete redo. Just toss it and start over. We've done it before. Peoplemover didn't always exist, after all. We can do it again.

I fear there’s too much asbestos in Tomorrow Land to ever rip it all out.

Great update. Can't wait to see NOS when it's finished. Very curious to see what happens to Tomorrowland... But it works like we'll be waiting a while for that!

Such a great update! We so appreciate your staying on top of these things and filling us in and answering our “whys” and “when’s” of what’s going on in our beloved Disneyland.

*It's called Tomorrow Land, because it's gonna be the same land tomorrow.*

Hey! Great Video!! I knew I had to save this one to watch for when I could actively listen. Keep up the great work, thanks for your insights. Curious to see what Disney has up their sleeves!

I couldn’t agree more with your assessment of what needs to happen in Tomorrowland. It’s time for a major reno. Even with Space Mountain being right in the center of Tomorrowland, this neighborhood can be salvaged and improved. Personally, I think Space Mountain is the only thing in Tomorrowland worth saving at all.

I have to say, I waffle between my nostalgic love for Autopia and subs and the thought that something truly groundbreaking (hehe) could be put in that spot. The fact that Star Tours is my daughter's favorite attraction is a reminder that every ride and attraction is the favorite of thousands of people, maybe more, so if they remove anything they better be damn sure they have a home run lined up to replace it. That goes ten fold for opening day attractions which Autopia absolutely is. There better be a grand slam lined up to replace that one.

As a person, who loved People Mover, AT&T Presents Circle Vision 360, Adventures in Inner Space, especially Carousel of Progress, and of course Skyway, I recommend Disney do the following: Rename Tomorrowland 1. Memoryland: (Maybe the theme to Cats playing????) 2. Cemeteryland Aside from filling up the hole in the Matterhorn, another memory, Disney now needs to bulldoze the entire land. I recommend instead of the Carousel of Progress adding in a Spaceship Earth merged with Carousel of Progress, next gen ride. Yes, I vote for a return of the old classics in new form.

Well done Brickey. I saw you there making this video. I like your analysis here. Very in depth.

Great info, Brickey. You are so astute to the goings and comings of things at disney. I hope that your vision will come true to bring a new and exciting new disney for future visits.

Very well done! It is fascinating to look back at all of the latest construction projects and see them all connected.

The other big thing to pay attention to with the redo of the Haunted Mansion queue is how much of it they have to rip up to make it ADA compliant. Now imagine them having to do the same thing with the entirety of Tomorrowland to make it ADA compliant and up to every other modern building code.

There’s a rumor that Disney gets some sort of incentive for keeping the subs open.

You said it. New Orleans Square and that whole area DIDN'T NEED ANYTHING while Tomorrowland NEEDED EVERYTHING. That's where they made their mistake. Nothing wrong with adding to an already great area, but there is something wrong when you're doing that while another area needs to be fixed. We should be halfway into this new rebuild of Tomorrowland ALREADY while doing the rest of the improvements to the West much later.

Really like where you are going with your channel. Keep up the good work!!

I love your channel!! I find your videos so invigorating and thought provoking. LOVE it! Keep it up!

Never been to Disneyland but I am surprised at the neglect of Tomorrowland. And I will never understand why the PeopleMover has never been repaired. 🤷‍♂️

“No one would miss the Astro Orbiter?” How dare you, sir! I have deeply sentimental love for the AO, and I’m not sure it’s going to be open during my upcoming trip and I’m very sad about that

Thank you for your insightful and well researched vlog, Brickey, giving us all a lot to think about. Change is certain!….

Congrats on 29K subs Brickey!! 🎉🎉🎉 I have to agree something has to happen in the Tomorrowland area is just a wasted space sitting and waiting for a change 😔. Back in the late 80’s and mid 90’s Tomorrowland used to have another vibe with the people mover and the skyway, now I try to avoid that area 😅.

Tomorrow isn't as simple of a fantasy as in the past. I suppose the area could be re-themed into "Retro land" with 50's style aliens etc

Really enjoyed this video bricky! Keep it up!

It's hard for me to visit the park. I've been going since 1969 and worked there for 8 years, I opened Toontown...but now it's trying to be Universal Studios. It's just one big commercial for films. The immersion is gone. Change is inevitable but the kind of change I see is short-sighted and opportunistic.

Love the optimism in your video. Most other YT Disney videos are criticisms and downers (not that they’re not justified) and I’m glad to see Disney improving their parks. Maybe a video about this turnaround from the cost-cutting years?

The House of the Future had an oven that could cook dinner in only fifteen minutes.

I really enjoy your streams and your knowledge about Disney. Thank you.😊

This was a great topic, Brickey. Disney George and I were at MK last week and boy, even our Tomorrowland is looking rough!

If not for Space Mountain, most guests would SKIP Tomorrowland entirely

Just got back from WDW… Tomorrowland can be so amazing, I just didn’t realize how much better it can be. If they could just get the good parts working again, it would be nice. :/

As long as Bob Gurr is alive, they won't touch Autopia.

Thanks for a wonderful video. Note that just because the People Mover tracks rely on structural components of the buildings through which it runs does not mean the exterior tracks cannot be removed (and relatively easily at that).

Or..... while the westside gets it's improvements (which took years to plan), they could be planning the eastside improvements (which I agree it desperately needs).

Brickey, You knew Tomorrowland's day's were numbered when Michael Eisner's contribution to it's future was, "I think it would look more like Coloardo." Imagineers were so pissed with his help, that's why they planted edible plants throughout the area. To give it a Colorado feel and future vibe. Cheers, Chris Perry.

Hey Brickey....Can you tell Disney to upgrade the screen experience at Toy Story Mania....Surely the technology is available.......

I love Autopia and SPACE MOUNTAIN! The submarines are so nostalgic, however from the very beginning, I feel Tomorrowland has a lot of empty space and wasted opportunity…

The Mark Twain is looking sweet 🤩😍Great update. Very much intrigued by the possibilities for Tomorrow Land. 🤞 Thanks, Brickey

Last time we visited Disneyland, we spent 2 days there and only stepped into Tomorrowland for about 5 min to check one of the shops.

Thanks for the video bricky. Are any of these entrances and lagoon, autopia have historical significance that can’t be demolished? Sometimes in Australian cities having this doesn’t help as they have a lot of money and the developers will significantly remodel it or add to the building. They’ve done this to a 150 year old building in Sydney and add a skyscraper on top of the historic building as they couldn’t demolish the building.

I personally love the Astro Orbiter and would absolutely miss it. Great kinetic energy and it’s basically the only true ride on the hub (I’m not counting Main Street Vehicles).

They could rework Peoplemover to sn actual transit system, same track system and switchable guideway. 10:27 starview lounge is Useless 10:55 reopen Space Place in Space Mountain Queue 11:40

Tommorowland in DL is like walking through a cluttered garage

Pirates was down for several months the year before last and they added the transition scene

Great video! I feel like something is going to have to happen to Tomorrowland someday, but sadly likely MANY years away. I know another RU-vidr says it is “nearly perfect”, but I don’t agree. It really needs a complete re-do. I just hope I am still alive to see it. No doubt Disney has some sort of longterm roadmap for Tomorrowland, the Esplanade and security areas. Would be so awesome to see that.

We are walking in to rise

Brickey you are blowing my mind. It is all making sense now and I hope those permits get approved so we get to see this new vision...I just hope not too much of these improvements fall upon the consumer

I like star tours more than I did the Millenium falcon ride. Ima be sad when it’s gone.

Disney gave up on Tomorrowland. Everyday modern technology is now better than most of Tomorrowland. Their best bet now is to go whimsical future and retro

As non-locals who only get to visit once a year or every other year, we still think Star Tours is fun! It usually has a short wait time and is great to do when we're in Tomorrowland for Space Mountain and/or the Monorail. (Or to get the chicken fusilli at Pizza Planet.)

So glad you made this video today! We are currently at the park and spent the last five days concluding that Tomorrowland is going to get ripped out completely. Seeing all of the careful detail all around the park and the complete neglect of Tomorrowland - really only one conclusion- they have no plans to save it and plan to rip it out. Doesn’t make sense to keep Star Tours in “Tomorrowland” when there is a Star Wars land. Would love to see Buzz Light Year show up at Pixar Pier, no novelty in driving in Autotopia (only Nostalgia, but it takes up so much space!). Thanks for he videos, great information and I think your conclusion is spot on!

About Autopia, it’s really nice for little kids, but I do agree that it doesn’t need that much space, they should IMO update it, make it half the size and a two or three laps ride and the submarines are historic and I think that the lagoon adds a lot to the park’s aesthetics, it looks very nice, but I do agree that the current version with Nemo is lame and a waste of space, so it’s a huge space that could have a much better use indeed, but for me not for a new land, but for new Tomorrowland rides, attractions and dining locations… an updated mission space and restaurant from Epcot would be a nice addition for Tomorrowland for instance, so would be an updated test track.

Idk why but i love Star Tours! It's not a day at Disneyland unless I ride that ride.

Disney officials have told me in the past that they know there is public interest in bringing the People Movers back. Disneyland has wanted to bring them back. The issue is the tracks are messed up from that previous ride they put in there after it. It’s too costly to fix the tracks, so it’s been put on the back burner indefinitely. And as you nailed, the tracks can’t be taken out because they’re attached to all of the structures. And I’m sure right that after three decades they may finally fix that land once and for all.

Last trip had a marvelous Autopia ride. Omg it was glorious. Loved it as a kid too. Ah well. Obvs some day sadly it will be gone… Some solution to Peoplemover has gotta be possible… At least to remove the track & let in some light. Sigh. Miss it a lot. DVC Lounge? Supremely supremely totally ridiculous waste of space. Last time I visited DL as a kid I saw signs “future site of Space Mountain” Returned 24 yrs later, so obvs I can wait some things out. But I do hope to live long enough to see some real Tomorrowland improvement! Good luck to us all.

Yes! 100% agree. Autopia and Nemo take up a lot of space. I avoid Autopia because of the exhaust smell and migraine inducing squeaking breaks. Bring in the demolition team. 7:46

So here's what I'm manifesting (lol) - Once the city allows for rezoning, your predictions regarding changing all the "wasted" space and the new parking lot gets built. Then they can really give love to Tomorrowland that it DESPERATELY needs. Screw any additions - let's fix what we already have. Its a complete obsolete concept of a land and one that will never be "futuristic" enough but to stick to a time period of "sci-fi" like the mid-century remodel they're doing in DTD as the monorail drops off in Tomorrowland, can connect and be ONE thematic experience. I'm hoping they tear it down completely as the PM runs through it all and because of its disastrous damage from prior leadership decisions - they can really start from ground zero and give Tomorrowland the JUSTICE it DESERVES!

Fascinating! I know that in many ways, Disney is siloed, with separate plans for Disneyland and WDW Magic Kingdom. I'd like to see your analysis of Tomorrowland in Florida, kind of compare and contrast. Good stuff, hombre. Keep it up.

The Finding Nemo Subs are a unique and beautiful attraction.

My honest thoughts on what should be changed regarding Tomorrowland: Tomorrowland was always a place to emphasize edutainment, educate people and children on the future and future technologies through attractions and entertainment. That idea has been so obviously lost to replace everything with IP and cheap, quick changes to save money. So with that in mind, here's what I feel would probably be best for Tomorrowland (this is my opinion so take it with a grain of salt). 1. Astro blasters has to go, keep the omni mover ride system and track layout and if possible try to keep the interactive elements to it, instead have it focus on futuristic societies and cities. Again this is just like loose ideas so I'm not gonna go fully in depth but you get the idea. 2. Move Star Tours over to Galaxy's Edge, perhaps creating a more modern and better version of it over there. As for Tomorrowland, keep the current Star Tours system and focus on space travel, exploring the stars with tons of different adventures, open for hijinks and education at the same time. Also, the current jankiness of Star Tours' system works perfect as current space travel is a rough venture and so would add to how difficult space travel really is. 3. Move Astro orbiter back over to being on top of the People mover station and of course bring back the People mover. The People mover is too crucial to the structural integrity of the buildings, plus the aesthetic of multi layered, vertical transportation on the ground and off gives a great futuristic look to the area. Fix up the track, update it to modern standards and it could be very solid in improving the atmosphere of the land. 4. Bring back Carousel of Progress, modernize the show scenes and improve the animatronics and perhaps add scenes showcasing the future and the near possible future. The current one is already becoming outdated so it could work to bring a new and updated version to Disneyland. 5. Space Mountain is perfect as is, perhaps just remodel the outside show building to that of what Tokyo Disneyland is gonna do to just update aesthetics. 6. Bring back the theater, show a new film on the future, similar to Captain EO but a little more modernized of course. 7. Starcade could honestly just be converted into an exhibit showcasing newer technologies and things to come in the near future. 8. Now on to Submarine Voyage and Autopia. First with Submarine Voyage, either bring back 20,000 leagues updated to modern technologies or a new under sea adventure. Make it totally original with no IP and emphasize deep sea exploration technology and education on the ocean. With Autopia I genuinely have no clue what you could do as it's not something that can really be updated to the future, perhaps just a new attraction or experience showcasing the future of cars, a smaller version of Test Track I honestly don't totally know. 9. This would be like the secondary option to Autopia and Submarine Voyage and would almost 100% not happen, but just completely remove both rides for multiple brand new experiences. Or, and this won't happen but it's fun to think, bring Tron over to that area. Tron could be the big IP ride of the land and still focus on a realistic future that fits with the rest of Tomorrowland. Now of course the hard part is the monorail as it would be cutting right through that area but if they could make it work I feel that that could also work. Again all of this is my opinion so like I said take it with a grain of salt.e

They need to make Tomorrowland kinda like Disney Paris, a retro version of the future. Only American retro, not steam punk. It would be timeless and beautiful. Maybe. 50s version of the future

Carousel is still vacant, Peoplemover track quiet, and Motorboat Cruise isnt cruising. 2:06 treehouse isn't Swiss Family, and the crypt exit isnt a way out of Haunted Mansion.

Autopia is a nice relaxing ride that's nostalgic and fun when it has a short wait. That being said, we don't do it every visit. The subs were a one-and-done for us - too claustrophobic 😅

I prefer they add instead of tearing down existing attractions & then replacing them with something new. As for backstage areas to the southeast behind Tomorrowland, don't know how much of that can be demolished & added to public space. But the non-public SE corner of DCA certainly seems like it can be ripped out & replaced. However, employees & maintenance crews in both parks do need areas for themselves, so acreage hidden to visitors may be more necessary than assumed. Re: community opposition a few years ago to the huge parking structure proposed for east of Harbor Blvd ("We don't want to lose our access to potential customers!!") must have slowed down the pace.

Brilliant - Tomorrowland is in sorry shape - super exciting hear your analysis

Sorry, I'm for keeping (and refurbishing) Star Tours because it's THE ONLY THING IN THE PARK DEDICATED TO THE ORIGINAL TRILOGY!!

There are so many new technologies that Disney could take advantage of to really make it a "tomorrow land". They really should just close off the whole land, level the place and turn it into one of the most fascinating technological marvels that earth has to offer and I guarantee it will bring the crowds.

Great points with sound reasoning. When I looked at a map of the park, and ran my cursor around the Tomorrowland area, I was actually surprised at the physical size of it. It's pretty much 2/5ths of the park. Given the need to tear down a lot of stuff to do it, the infrastructure that would need to be rebuilt, and the capex required, I think they might look even further out than Disneyland Next to do it. Assuming they need to shut down 2 restaurants, the Train, Monorail, Submarines, Buzz, Autopia, Star Tours and Space Mountain for a substantial period, it makes sense that they would have those other new Next lands & attractions up and running beforehand.

The good thing about the People Mover relic is that it provides shade in that area!

I hate that you're right. I do NOT want to say goodbye to Star Tours, and DEFINITELY not Buzz.

I’d be curious how this suggestion could even become reality because again as a former cast member there really isn’t much useable backstage area behind the existing space mountain. There exists the same backstage building that you can see from the monorail but other than a road under the train (there’s a tunnel heading toward Main Street station that you can see when you’re backstage) you’re pretty much at harbor Blvd on the other side of the building/tunnel.

You're right I definitely deserve better

Ok here goes: Tomorrowland should showcase the many eras of science fiction and futurism through the decades. Keep astro orbiters. Its a nice, kinetic welcome to the land. Remove autopia and replace it with a steampunk land and a journey to the center of the earth dark ride. Have an automaton show akin to tiki room and country bear jamboree. It can flow through to the back of small world and the steampunk/small world themes can be meshed thematically. In line with the steampunk jules verne theming, bring the submarine ride back to 20,000 leagues under the sea. Star wars launch bay can be replaced with a giant ENCOM building from the original Tron film and make a trackless dark thrill ride based on the 1982 classic. This will cover the 1980s age of computers and video games sci fi. Keep pizza planet and space mountain. Remove the theater and bring back an updated version of inner space for that 1950s sci fi feel. Keep star tours and update the queue to feel like a more vibrsnt space port hub set in the star wars universe to maintain the 70s science fantasy theme. Remove buzz lightyear and galactic grill area to create a massive cyberpunk area which can house all new food areas and bring back starcade. Make a buzz lightyear themed shooting gallery similar to the frontierland one and make it multi leveled. And finally bring back people mover...and in a perfect world the skyway. So you end up with all of the most popular visions of the future from jules verne steampunk, 50s science, 70s space, 80s computers and phillip k dicks cyberpunk. My 2c anyway

So true! You are right on Brickey!

I think FreshBaked! would disagree with you about the importance of Autopia, the Submarine Lagoon, and the Astro Orbiter. 😊 Whatever replaces Tomorrowland needs kineticism, which is what the monorail, Autopia, submarines, Orbiter, and PeopleMover (formerly) provide. While I welcome a complete rebuild of Tomorrowland, I'm worried that the end result will be as stale and stagnant as Galaxy's Edge. Tomorrowland, in its current state, is densely packed with attractions and handles a lot af guests. Any Tomorrowland replacement needs to meet or exceed the variety and volume of attractions. Just look at the How To Train Your Dragon land being built at Universal Epic Universe--it has four outdoor attractions that all provide movement and activity to the land.

The area that features the submarines, the train station, the Autopia and the Monorail station is just fine and very kinetic. But Tomorrowland has a problem with the area around the carousel building, Space Mountain and the Pizza Port. Too many empty spaces. At Disney World,Tomorrowland looks ungainly and dated. The Carousel of Progress has become a half-broken relic. The Speedway is nothing like the Autopia. The building that had housed Stitch's Escape has been empty for nearly 4 years. And the Monsters Inc show belongs at Hollywood Studios, not Tomorrowland.

Hello Brickey. Dave and I have said several times that Tomorrow Land never gets any updates. Except for new paint and design on the Star Tour building. We hadn’t thought about tearing it all down and rebuild something new; but the idea makes sense! Thanks for your thoughts. Have a great weekend! ❤

Totally agree with you on the Tomorrowland, it needs to go and a whole new land needs to be developed in its place. Watching your videos makes me excited and have high hopes for Disney forward. Everything you explain makes perfect sense in why they aren’t really doing much with Hollywood land and the security and tomorrow land part of the park.

That's like saying f****** matter. Horn will be no more fun to ride out daily , give me a parade

Because Disneylands ground level is essentially a second floor, I wonder if it would be possible to eventually carve out tunnels from Harbor to the center of both parks. That would create a ton of available space for new development 🤔

Tomorrowland got a minor makeover in 1998 the rocket rods which didn't stay so with that being said tomorrowland really hasn't been updated since the 60s Disney needs to breathe the new life into tomorrowland it's nostalgic for me. I grew up with it but they need to revamp it. I hate seeing that space wasted.

Tear down all of Tomorrowland and build a new Space Mountain and the Tron ride.

I still love Star Tours, but I really wish they would relocate it to Galaxy's Edge. It feels super weird that it's still in Tomorrow Land. Star Wars (especially the animated series) has been making use of the Star Tours ship and droid pilot concept pretty frequently, so moving it and transforming it to fit into the Galaxy's Edge motif would be awesome. But in general, Tomorrowland is super disappointing and feels neglected. (But the food at Galactic Grill has been really great lately. 😄)

Autopia sits atop the show building for 20,000 leagues, space mountain is actually the 2nd space mountain that was built and is not “OG” anything. Tomorrowland suffers from the reality that ‘tomorrow’ always becomes ‘today’. It is an iconic part of Disneyland that has evolved several times over the years.

Simply put Disneyland doesn't care about tomorrowland and hasn't for quite few years.

I will fight you on removing the Submarines. I can’t go on them anymore for health reasons but I would every time if I could. I do love Autopia and they did recently announce that they’re finally going electric, but if I had to choose one or the other, Autopia can go. I think Star Tours is also classic but that could also easily be moved into Galaxy’s Edge for cohesion and Buzz Lightyear could probably find a home somewhere in DCA with some rearranging. Of course I’m no engineer, I’m just assuming space could be found/made with some rejiggering if they wanted to truly bring new experiences to Tomorrowland while keeping the existing popular attractions in some form or another.

I know it will never happen but it would be so cool to retheme tomorrowland around NASA and SpaceX going back to the Moon and Mars, AI systems, robots cooking food, all with a Jetsons feel. In the next 3-5 years so many new things will be in the news.

While Tomorrowland is a mess, I can't imagine they'd ever get rid of the land entirely. I also really really hope they never replace Space Mountain like they are doing in Tokyo. With Tokyo's SM closing this year, Anaheim's Space Mountain will be the only version left with that fantastic track layout. I'd rather they just build another space themed coaster in the autopia plot!

Great update. Disneyland Forward Tomorrowland Question: Conventional wisdom is Eastern Gateway 2.0 project could expand DCA north. Alternative take, they could be waiting for DF approval to greenlight the Tomorrowland update because they could expand Tommorrowland south by adding a show building between current monorail track & Harbor BLVD.

The new eastern gateway is definitely a prerequisite before anything else can happen assuming the city votes in their favor in a couple months.
