Retheme Buzz Lightyear to a steampunk “travels in outer space” dark ride for the young ones.

Return the Subs to its 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea theme and turn the area into a version of Mysterious Island from Tokyo DisneySea.Leave Astro-Orbiter as-is – the color scheme works.The whole area given a steampunk aesthetic (and keep it consistent!).Its aesthetic is Jules Verne/steampunk and that is a theme built to last. One thing I think Disneyland Paris got absolutely right was to look backward rather than forward for inspiration for their version of Tomorrowland. Idea #4: Discoveryland (ala Disneyland Paris) Retheme Space Mountain to being inside the Grid.Retheme Buzz Lightyear to being inside video games such as Space Invaders.

Bring back Flynn’s Arcade and put it in the Starcade.

Bring back ElecTRONica and have this fun dance party take place at Tomorrowland Terrace.

Or put TRON bikes up on the People Mover tracks.

The TRON themed coaster that Shanghai Disney is getting.

However, since Star Wars Land is happening elsewhere, and the removal of Marvel Meet & Greets from Disneyland to Disney California Adventure is strongly signaling that the rumored Marvel Land will most likely be built somewhere around the Hollywood Land area, neither of these are possibilities for Tomorrowland at this point.

Just accept that subs and cars are actually part of Fantasyland and adjust the maps.

Retheme Space Mountain to Guardians of the Galaxy.

Retheme Buzz Lightyear as an animated Avengers attraction.

Retheme the Astro-Orbiter as a trip to Asgard.

Turn Star Tours into a variation of the Iron Man Experience going into Hong Kong Disneyland.

Innoventions would’ve been a perfect Stark Expo location (keep the Meet & Greets they had and add more as new films were released plus have some technology previews – only keep them current and relevant).Second, I’d’ve also been fine with this area becoming a Marvel Land: Make the subs a visit to an undersea alien world.Tear down the People Mover tracks if they can no longer be used OR put an Empire Strikes Back speeder bike attraction up there using a similar system to the new TRON bikes at Shanghai Disneyland.Raze Innoventions and Autopia and put a dark ride there.Redesign Astro Orbiter vehicles into landspeeders or Rey’s speeder bike.Retheme Buzz Lightyear to Star Wars: Rebels.Pizza Port or Tomorrowland Terrace become a Star Wars cantina (WITH entertainment daily and nightly).Well, here are some of my off-the-top-of-my-head personal suggestions…įirst off, I’d’ve put Star Wars Land here given the choice, but I accept that the space is not ideal for the matching lands being designed for both Disneyland Park and Disney’s Hollywood Studios at the Walt Disney World Resort. While the actual Star Wars Land is being built on the opposite side of the park, Tomorrowland will likely continue to be the temporary version of it for the next few years. The subs and rockets and cars (despite a recent Autopia refurbishment, still running on gas rather than electric) are all decidedly retro technology, the Toy Story attraction belongs at the Pixar Park – Disney California Adventure, and Star Wars takes place “a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away”. Unfortunately, none of this mish-mash of attractions actually represents anything resembling “tomorrow”. (Okay, and Autopia and Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage as well, but they’re so on the outskirts they could still be considered Fantasyland attractions.)

Oh, yeah, there’s Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters and the Astro Orbiter there, too. So today I’d like to turn your attention to the other land in most dire need of an overhaul at Disneyland Park (and some would argue at the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World Resort, too) – Tomorrowland.Ĭurrently, it functions as a temporary Star Wars Land – featuring the Star Tours and Hyperspace Mountain attractions, the Jedi Training: Trials of the Temple show, the Star Wars Launch Bay Meet & Greet location, the Star Wars: Path of the Jedi highlight reel running in the Tomorrowland Theater, plus assorted themed food concoctions such as the meals served at the Galactic Grill (formerly Tomorrowland Terrace). I’ve previously addressed some areas of Disneyland Park that I’d love to see upgraded – one, Big Thunder Ranch Jamboree, is no more and the other, Mickey’s Toontown, is rumored to be a future expansion site, likely for Fantasyland.
