I kind of miss the "intergalactic" 90s Tomorrowland. Alien Encounter, Sonny Eclipse, the Space Mountain preshow, and the TTA all seemed like a single coherent story universe.
It’s not a bad idea, but how popular is that movie? It had a more than respectable box office run, but are people still talking about it? It’s been the better part of ten years since its release, and it’d likely be a decade and then some by the time they finished anything based on it. Maybe if it was just a costumed character show, because those don’t take long to get ready, but even that seems unlikely. They’d be striking while the iron is less than lukewarm at this point, but then again, “Avatar”…
@@BroskiStudios The difference is that they’re not really building Tron a decade after the fact. They’re cloning an existing ride with a proven track record (pun unintended) that was built less than five years after the film was released.
@@TBustah Well, last time I checked, there's a TV show on Netflix and shorts on Disney+. I agree with the original commenter and also partially agree with you. Avatar was definitely a hit with usually a wait time of two hours or more during the Summer months. The movie did come out over 2 decades ago, but it held the record for a while with the top box office spot. As you said, it did have a more than respectable box office run, but merchandising has done its part on that movie. In most resort and Epcot (a little bit of Tomorrowland too I believe) gift shops you see a lot of Baymax themed items. Sometimes, they're even out of stock. In any case, I believe Big Hero 6 would be a good show to replace Stitch. I could see a new preshow where you are in the university lab (even though in the movie it was burnt down) and the cast explains some type of mission you need to accomplish, with Baymax as your aid. The auditorium would most likely be somewhat similar to "Its Tough to be a Bug" in Animal Kingdom, but the seats actually move and its a 4D attraction. That's my idea at least! :)
I'm a little concerned that the opening of Tron in Tomorrowland will only be mirroring New Fantasyland in the Magic Kingdom (only on a smaller scale), where there are two distinct themes that awkwardly meet at a certain point.
A Retro-Futurism aesthetic to the TomorrowLand 's theming is definitely the way to go, imo. It solves the problem of guessing what the future will be. Instead, you'll be able to visit the future we wish we currently lived in - a fantasy version of the future. Would love to see eliptically-shaped apartment buildings across the land & up in the skyline, simulateing retrofuturist housing, as if you'd be walking into a neighborhood of a future we wished we lived in. Stitch's great escape could absolutely be turned into a sit-down restaurant. Instead of in outerspace, tho, it coukd be surrounded by screens which project clouds, as if you're having a meal in the sky inside a floating, hovering restaurant. Then, to add to the experience, the floor could be on a turn-table, that slowly rotates.
So Mr. Chapek, I know you’re watching this video posting. Are the lightbulbs bursting in your brain, like the nightly Magic Kingdom fireworks? Be sure to give Dallin the credit he deserves, for coming up with these very imaginative suggestions.
I see tron becoming a classic in the same way that indiana jones is. While it’s a bit of an outsider amongst other classics since it uses a non-golden age IP, it earns its place among legendary Disney rides by being so well executed.
I agree! I really do hope that Tron becomes a classic and gets the recognition and respect that it deserves. Hopefully this installment in wdw will bring more interest back into the Tron franchise, maybe even enough interest that Tron uprising will receive its long awaited season 2, or a new film or game! It’s such a great and creative franchise I just hope that one day it finally gets all the attention and glory that it deserves!
You know, you were pretty much already my favorite content creator on UA-cam; but with the last Tron video where you said Tron is one of Disney's best movies, and now this amazing video, you're pretty much cemented as my absolute favorite creator on UA-cam.
Some people might think that Tron is one of Disney's best movies...However in reality, the first was a massive, epic flop and Legacy did wildly poor in theaters....They actually must be desperate to add something new to tomorrowland if they're using a series of movies that didn't actually do well or even decent. And I say that as someone who liked Legacy and the original is pretty good.....They're rebooting it in some weird attempt to make Tron successful.
@@lutherheggs451 it doesn’t make them desperate. They just have a good concept with Tron that fits. Was building a new E ticket themed to Song of the South in Frontier Land a sign Disney was desperate to add something… well maybe splash is a bad example but it’s okay for a ride to be great even if the ip was meh or being actively hidden by Disney. And I love both Tron movies.
@@clarktooncrossing3975 The show buildings are tiny and rocket shaped, you could also turn the ceiling into a space sunroof so you can see as we zoom through the stars. Have the story be that WALL-E is the animatronic pilot in the center, EVE is flying outside the ship, and Sigourney Weaver is narrating facts about space as we fly by.
@@jalapeno1119 You can have that. There can be a point where the animatronic WALL-E drops down and he joins EVE in the stars before appearing back on the platform again.
Idea for a replacement for Stitch's Great Escape: Muppet Labs starring Dr. Bunsen Honeydew and Beaker. Disney already built animatronic versions of these characters for the Muppet Mobile Labs that used to appear in Epcot's Future World on occasion and the parks could really use a second Muppet attraction.
The thing about Disneyland Paris's Discoveryland, though, is that Disney seems to want to create a "Tomorrowland Problem" where there wasn't one. They removed the original theming of Space Mountain for more generic sci-fi Mission 2 and now it's the hodgepodge of theming that's Hyperspace Mountain. Le Visionarium was ripped out for Buzz Lightyear. The Discoveryland Theatre plays Mickey's Philharmagic, while it still has the theming of the Imagination Institute of Honey! I Shrunk the Audience. Discoveryland hasn't really got as much of a problem as the American Tomorrowlands, as it still can be fixed fairly easily, but it has to be fixed non the less. TRON could also be added to Discoveryland. Just put it outside the berm where the Pizza Planet restaurant was. That way it's part of Discoveryland - because where else are you going to put it? - but being across the berm keeps it separately so its design doesn't clash.
TRON wouldn't work for Discoveryland, because Discoveryland's theming is based around the various Jules Verne novels. TRON is far too techno/sci-fi, and is more fitting for Tomorrowland or perhaps EPCOT's Future World.
That really goes against one of the main thesis points against "so its design doesn't clash" was that imagineers pay attention to the smallest details down to making sure all signage follows the same font.
@@Dumbrarere it's bot just jules Verne novels though, it's visionaries of the future, which is why star tours is there aswell, so maybe tron would fit there
I think the Tomorrowland refresh was planned out a long time ago. It seems as if they were waiting on New Epcot or possibly a new attraction elsewhere in MK (there were rumors about that Moana E Ticket in Adventureland a few years ago) to draw guests away from Tomorrowland so it could go under construction.
A combo of peoplemover and tron should happen at Disneyland. Similar to the plan they had to use peoplemover for the space mountain redo at Disneyland.
Bring back ExtraTERRORestrial and Journey to Inner Space. Add a time travel ride with the time machine suspended in a globe projection system and a walk through an animatronic alien zoo. The Tomorrowland landscape should consist of towering spires and interactive elements, like a cluster of large metallic spheres that emit sounds like an alien language when you touch it or a labyrinth of wavy translucent walls aglow with shifting curtains of color that are drawn to your hand when you touch the surface.
I'm happy they're adding tron it's another space to travel (cyber space) all the other major Tomorrowland attractions always traveled into other spaces (outer, liquid, inner). They just need a cohesive theme that works, paris went steampunk appropriately, and the other ones need to get it together with a cohesive theme. The old retro Tomorrowland is still at tokyo to some extent. Hopefully they just go more into a Sci fi theme instead of trying to capture the future as all disney parks lands are fantasy versions of a theme.
First: Reopen the people mover. Second: Put the rockets back on top of the people mover leading area. Third: Bring back a hi-tech Adventures thru Innerspace. Forth: Either use the old Carousel Of Progress building or tear it down and put in a Tron ride with a large basement so a large part of the track could be subterranean as well as above ground.. Great watch, thanks....
Tron has still been a shorter wait than there was for KH3, also now that I've finally been to Disneyland, the opening of the video made me think, "Matterhorn, the pain machine", honestly that ride may be a one and done for me, ouch
TRON is genuinely the first time I am HYPED for a WDW attraction to open. I'm a huge fan of tron and when I found out there was a ride in Shanghai DL, I would've dropped everything to go ride it! Like, when do you ever have the chance to ride a LIGHTBIKE?! Really hope you're right when you say it will be the new fan favorite!
I see you Dallin. Sneakily putting the Tron: Legacy soundtrack under the video audio. I love it!! Love the video! Keep it up! I'm going to WDW in May and I love keeping up to date with your videos!
Not sure how I feel about the new plain white aesthetic, it looks dated in my opinion, I loved the bright vibrant colours that WDW’s Tomorrowland most recently had, but I understand wanting to choose a single more cohesive theme with the addition of TRON. I really liked the blue of the ride over in Shanghai, and love how their Tomorrowland is built around that aesthetic, feels both futuristic, but is also a simple enough dishing choice that looks sleek and hopefully timeless. I think I would have preferred it had they used the original colour scheme for TRON and incorporated that into the rest of the land, painting everything blue and adding neon and LED lights to the whole land so that it glows at the seams. Still though I’m happy to see that they’re giving some love to Tomorrowland in any colour. One other rumoured addition I have heard about for WDW’s Tomorrowland is a possible reskin to the Buzz Lightyear ride. I can’t remember where I heard it, but apparently if the new Lightyear movie is successful, they’re gonna retheme Space Ranger Spin to that movie. If true I think it’s greatly needed as it’s incredibly dated with the wooden cut out characters compared to every other version of the ride that has actual figures. Perhaps they could also use some sort of projection mapping in the ride to better see where people are hitting. As far as rethemes go, changing it from the Star Command series aesthetic to a sleeker Lightyear aesthetic would be greatly we,comes, and could really advance and refresh the beloved attraction.
i've said for YEARS that the one thing ride-wise that epcot and magic kingdom have both been lacking is a good, solid thrill roller coaster, and we're finally getting a thrill coaster in both parks. no matter what else happens in both parks, I'm happy.
I'm wondering, why can't the Autopia be updated into a lightcycle attraction? There could be still be cars resembling Quorra"s vehicle interspersed with rideable cycles?
It's amazing how Tron has gone from being this embarrassment and flop to being actually respectable and the centerpiece of an upcoming E-Ticket attraction. (I know, I know, Splash Mountain, but when that first appeared at Disneyland, it was only three years after a Song of the South re-release, and the animal characters were still beloved, as was the song "Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah." So by that point Song of the South wasn't quite the embarrassment it became.)
I’m telling you, if Rockets Rods had a brand new track at the time that would have supported the ride properly, it would still be here till this day. That would be better than a Peoplemover attraction
The Tron canopy is so epic, Disney needs to incorporate a restaurant that serves more than fast food in order turn this area into a type of futuristic plaza that will only add more life to the area.
I remember that one time the concept was the future that never was, more sci-fi than real tomorrow? I'd go for that. Mid century modern/ art deco , Jetson style, but without that or any other Intellectual property. Also, ditch autopia or Tomorrowland raceway. Sorry, other parks do that concept better, and usually as model t clones. It needs something else. In Disneyland it would be rebuilt and totally re routed people mover. In Orlando, expand people mover or come up with something even more awesome.
As kids in Anaheim, Tomorrowland was our favorite land. Making Tomorrowland a 1960's Mid Century Modern land is as brilliant as Paris' Discoveryland. I would love to Disneyland to get this white shiney 1960's view of the furture.
Doing the Neo Futuristic look works because most of Tomorrowland was done in that style anyways. I think the problem they ran into with the Jules Verne / Steampunk look is they didn't go all in. That look is awesome and if anyone could pull it off it would be Disney but it would be expensive. You'd need gears, steam, copper, zeppelins, etc. to pull that look off.
I have a minor problem with the casting call. Specifically, ORAC being the name they're giving the AI. Obviously, Disney could just be using that name for now and it won't be the actual name of the narrator. And maybe it's an Imagineer's nod to a show of which they are a fan. But, there is a late 1970's British sci-fi show called Blake's 7. The ship's (intelligent) computer on that show was named ORAC. I can't imagine the BBC taking kindly to that name being used by Disney. Unless Disney secretly owns the BBC, too. LOL!
ORAC used to be the name of the people mover narrator for many years. Some time relatively recently(Feels like a decade maybe I’m not sure) when the spiel was changed the voice that guides us on our tour of tomorrow land no longer introduces himself. But he is most likely still ORAC who was the guide since October 71( Maybe😆, I wasn’t born yet)
@@galashery7264 - Good to know! I don't remember the narrator ever introducing himself as ORAC (and I was first there in December 1978); but truth to tell, I didn't pay much attention to the narration.
The idea I have of a full-service Tomorrowland restaurant that is retro-futuristic is getting closer and closer to being a reality. I would ADORE a fifties retro-future diner with shows done by cast members. It would be one of the must-do restaurants of the park, perhaps the entire resort!
I thought someone found evidence that Disney ordered two Tron models from Vekoma. If true, that means one model is left waiting in storage somewhere. Disneyland would make sense.
I really miss the Tomorrowland aesthetic from before the recent renovations - the old sign was so much more visually interesting. As long as they keep Buzz though, I'll be happy.
I somehow managed to notice if you look closely at the Space Mountain sign, it’s the same colors that it was before 2009. I wonder if that was intentional, maybe the ride will be updated. Nice video as always!
Man, I thought from the title it was going to be about Disneyland. Which I guess it kinda is. I'd be okay with Tron in Disneyland too if it meant all of Tomorrowland got a revamp and we got the People Mover back. Edit: And I definitely thought the Downtown Disney art looked like Tomorrowland artwork also when that came out awhile back.
Tokyo Disneyland just announced a complete refurbishing of their Tomorrowland and Space Mountain that frankly? I’m more excited about that this new tron ride that everyone else has seen at Shanghai Disneyland.
I wonder if they’ll change Stitch to something related to Ron gone wrong(?), it fits with the theming and I think was well received when it first became available
@@feldspar3858 they own the rights to it though so technically could use it if they wanted to. Line with things like test track it used to be a sponsorship partnership and they still used it
I’m gonna say something controversial. Bring. Back. Stitch. Now I’m not saying bring back great escape. I understand people don’t like the ride and I somewhat agree. but. Stitch is such a iconic character that should get better representation somewhere in the parks. I think there should be a dark ride for it. (I’m in the middle of writing this and dallin just brought it up. A Stitch restaurant sounds amazing. I don’t care what you do, you could even put stitch into enchanted tiki room like in Paris ( I think it was Paris?). I just think stitch’s a better attraction.
Once TRON opens, Disney needs to give Space Mountain a proper overhaul. Brand new track, brand new trains with onboard audio, and brand new effects. Also, do something to make it darker inside. That lift hill area gives off a lot of extra light.
@@cookimaus1 Just enclose it a bit more to keep the excess light out. Also make the tunnels wider to allow bigger trains that can accommodate onboard audio and a better seating setup.
@@nathanblalock7019 tbh I think it’s fine as it is. Doesn’t really let off much light and I think it’s a lot better having a centerpiece around the mountain as opposed to nothing. Oooh or you could enclose it in a way that makes it resemble the station from Disneyland, and still keep the flyby. Maybe also make it so the exterior of the ship can be seen so it doesn’t ruin the theming. Also I don’t think widening the tunnels would be possible, even then I’m not sure if it would keep side by side seating from happening, but I think it doesn’t need it. It adds that sort of horror element to the ride, isolated and kind of alone, just make it more comfy
@@cookimaus1 Maybe something like an RMC Raptor which have higher up seats, with modified trains that fit the theme aesthetically and have onboard audio.
I want a Tron 1982 attraction to replace Stitches Great Escape, since the MCP would work in a Circlevision show, but now that you have the idea of a sitdown eatery, I can imagine it becoming the End of Line...sitdown...Club
that shot of the people watching the hologram lady reminded me of the scene in Serenity where the crew watches the hologram lady get Butchered by Reavers....ahhhh Disney
ALRIGHT IM ABOUT TO GENERATE IDEAS. For the space for Stitch's Great Escape, counter service should go there. And where Cosmic Ray's is....We put the table service there. There would be more room and we can keep Sonny Eclipse and give him a dining location fitting of his talents. I also think that the TomorrowLand Speedway should either be pulled for something else or make it Wreck-It Ralph themed and then give it a new ride system. Something trackless if they have room?
I think that Disneyland will either get Tron where the Launch Bay is OR if they expand Avengers campus and they re-theme the ride to Stark Industries in current Hollywoodland
I agree with you about Tomorrowland at Disneyland put up walls to Space Mountain the close it and doze it all but Space Mountain and Monorail. Turn all the dirt except for these two attractions and build something fresh and all that bare ground.
Was just at the Magic Kingdom this past Saturday and they actually just blocked off the side exits of the Space Mountain gift shop to start the redesign.
I have a point, we should make like a very cartoony Frontierland. We have the three caballeros that work so perfectly. And all of the now unemployed splash mountain characters that are not the main brers. It’s a new e ticket
Has anyone else seen the video of at-speed testing of the Tron coaster? Things are a-moving now. We can only hope that the secret designs being worked on now do get to Disneyland Tomorrowland. I'm old school....I miss not only the people mover but the Carousel of Progress! Remember getting on the the moving walkway to the second floor of that building to see a possible model of EPCOT in the late '60s. Great video...lets keep hoping!!
So, I went to the original incarnations of Disneyland's Tomorrowland many times in the 60's 70's 80's and (well it kinda went downhill after that...) They were exciting, kinetic beyond belief, COLORFUL and not actually realistic or futuristic. Just chaotic and a feast for the senses! Things whizzing past you, all around you. Everything was, well, dynamic, moving and invited you in! Unfortunately much of that fun could not be effectively replicated today! But, gol darnit, that level of immersion and activity could be imagineered into existence even now! Kungaloosh!
The Tomorrowland Slowway needs some serious love. It doesn't fit in Tomorrowland for one. The cars could be converted to zero emissions and the theming updated to look like Tomorrow.
I would say that Tomorrowland is an okay area and is better than the one at the Disneyland Resort. Tron will make the Magic Kingdom a one of a kind park to experience this amazing coaster that is also in Shanghai, Disneyland
Disneyland's Tomorrowland is so wrecked that we're literally walking underneath an abandoned ride for the majority of it, while looking out at a lagoon that's the epitome of bandaids lol
i'm surprised Dallin doesn't like Tomorrowland in DW. i think it has a nice asthetic. I think these days they are doing Land -refurbs piece by piece instead of all at once. That gift shop building is shaped weird, like the Hall of Justice from Superfriends lol
Disney should put Dallin in charge of new ideas for the park. They would do MUCH better. Also, Dallin when are you going to bring back the end card code words?
How great would it be if '82 got a nod in the park, maybe at the coaster exit to blend the more cyberpunk vibe of Legacy with the (hopefully) retrofuturist Tomorrowland facelift?
Disneyland's Tomorrowland better have a much larger reimagining than the Magic Kingdom's. It needs a PeopleMover, but the price of one is more than Chapek is willing to sign a check for.
I can’t see Chapek green lighting refurbs of the autopia and Astro orbiter just for consistent theming. Maybe if we get a new CEO from the entertainment industry at the end of the year.
I hated earl of sandwich however, a little piece of me died whenever u said they took it out. I thought out of all the things that stay constant in my life early of sandwich would be one of them. 💀
When they announced Tron years ago, I knew it would be a classic. However I honestly don't think they will move it to Disneyland for a couple of reasons. 1) room. They would have to take out at LEAST the subs and autopsia to build it. And while I think they probably are going to take out the subs, I don't think they will take out autopia. And 2) money. They can build it on the one side of the country KNOWING people will pay however much to go to WDW and ride that ride. I think the company knows there are enough die hard disney fans that would do that-honestly I'm one of them. To top it all off I know "Disneyland purists" that would flip their absolute shit if they took out too many classic thing. I'm not a purist, but I like the idea of keeping Disneyland "what it was" and improving upon it when it needs it, and WDW the biggest, next best thing all the time. That's kind of how I grew up seeing it in the ads here on the west coast and honestly how the people I know perceive it. I've not yet gotten the chance to go to WDW, it's going to be my honeymoon. But I go to Disneyland a decent amount, at one point I was going once a year. If I'm wrong on tron I honestly just hope they bring back people mover to make up for the lost attraction that would most likely have to happen.
Well, Disneyland is getting to the point where stuff HAS to be taken out, so people are just going to have to get used to that idea. 1) They are running out of room. 2) A number of attractions are nearing the end of their service life. It’s getting more and more difficult (and expensive) to keep the subs running. And right next door is the Matterhorn. Realistically how many more years can that thing be kept going? Maybe 10 or 20 years? I don’t think they can push it much further than that. They are also going to have issues keeping Pirates going long term too, but that’s another story.
I feel like they would announce the release date for Tron already if they opened it on October 1, 2022. Remember Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure opened on October 1, and they announced the opening date March of that same year (if I remember correctly). I still hope Tron will open this year I’m hoping it’ll happen. Also, I agree they need to work on the stitch’s great escape attraction after Tron opens.
Ok so, I really need to say this since I've never seen another soul mention it . . . BUT WE NEED A WALL-E RIDE! and a new Tomorrowland would be the best shot to bring one in. The Movie takes place 700 years in the future, everything from the Axiom, and the other ships and robots look so sleek, it would be perfect!
I still suspect that the next piece of Tomorrowland to see a major redress and overhaul will be the Tomorrowland Speedway. As beloved as it is, the noise and stench of the gas powered cars are jarring alongside Space Mountain and now alongside and under Tron. But a full redo is actually a fairly low cost and cost effective option. They have the electric cars from the closed Hong Kong Autopeia. They are clean quiet electric cars with internal lighting effects and full sound systems. Repaint and redecorate the track to better match the theming. Add some futuristic Tron’esque lighting effects throughout (incredibly cost effective thanks to the magic of LED’s) and it’s a whole new ride.
I wish they tore down Disneyland Tomorrowland add people mover, Tron Light Cycle, keep space mountain. You’re right this is the view of the new Tomorrowland
To me the 1990s version of WDW Tomorrowland wasn't quite "Discoveryland Lite" so much as it was a sort of 1930s Flash Gordon Moderne aesthetic--lots of chrome and rocket fins. It was deliberately cheesy but I liked it. The little makeovers they've been doing lately look more like they're aimed at recreating the "sleek white Tomorrowland" look that Disney World's Tomorrowland opened with in the early 70s, of which Space Mountain's exterior was the main remaining bit. It was not quite Space Age Jetsons stuff, not quite 80s techno yet, but something a bit different, with cues taken from things like NASA hardware.
I kind of miss the "intergalactic" 90s Tomorrowland. Alien Encounter, Sonny Eclipse, the Space Mountain preshow, and the TTA all seemed like a single coherent story universe.
I visited Magic Kingdom during that time and I absolutely agree with you. LOVED that land. Looking forward to a new land coherency.
THIS 100%
I just miss 90s WDW. Particularly 92 Epcot.
I remember there was like a Planet Network News thing on Space Mountain It made it all feel like a residential future
A big hero 6 show could be used to replace stitch. The movie is all about inventions and creations so it would be a fit for Tomorrowland.

Idea for a replacement for Stitch's Great Escape: Muppet Labs starring Dr. Bunsen Honeydew and Beaker. Disney already built animatronic versions of these characters for the Muppet Mobile Labs that used to appear in Epcot's Future World on occasion and the parks could really use a second Muppet attraction.
I feel like they could do something with WALL-E or that new buzz lightyear movie in the old Stitch space.
The thing about Disneyland Paris's Discoveryland, though, is that Disney seems to want to create a "Tomorrowland Problem" where there wasn't one. They removed the original theming of Space Mountain for more generic sci-fi Mission 2 and now it's the hodgepodge of theming that's Hyperspace Mountain. Le Visionarium was ripped out for Buzz Lightyear. The Discoveryland Theatre plays Mickey's Philharmagic, while it still has the theming of the Imagination Institute of Honey! I Shrunk the Audience.
Discoveryland hasn't really got as much of a problem as the American Tomorrowlands, as it still can be fixed fairly easily, but it has to be fixed non the less.
TRON could also be added to Discoveryland. Just put it outside the berm where the Pizza Planet restaurant was. That way it's part of Discoveryland - because where else are you going to put it? - but being across the berm keeps it separately so its design doesn't clash.
TRON wouldn't work for Discoveryland, because Discoveryland's theming is based around the various Jules Verne novels. TRON is far too techno/sci-fi, and is more fitting for Tomorrowland or perhaps EPCOT's Future World.
@@Dumbrarere And that's why I said they should put it on the other side of the berm. You need to walk through a tunnel to get there.
That really goes against one of the main thesis points against "so its design doesn't clash" was that imagineers pay attention to the smallest details down to making sure all signage follows the same font.
@@Dumbrarere it's bot just jules Verne novels though, it's visionaries of the future, which is why star tours is there aswell, so maybe tron would fit there
I think the Tomorrowland refresh was planned out a long time ago. It seems as if they were waiting on New Epcot or possibly a new attraction elsewhere in MK (there were rumors about that Moana E Ticket in Adventureland a few years ago) to draw guests away from Tomorrowland so it could go under construction.
They might be able to fit a ride in the area near Tiki room and honestly why not shorten the Jungle cruise if you need the space
I wish they would build Fire Mountain, honestly.
A combo of peoplemover and tron should happen at Disneyland. Similar to the plan they had to use peoplemover for the space mountain redo at Disneyland.
Anaheim has Cars, Orlando has Tron. Parks need their unique attractions.
I know what you mean although Tron is also in Shanghai! 👍
@@naf2038 Shanghai is excluded from this discussion. US only
Bring back ExtraTERRORestrial and Journey to Inner Space. Add a time travel ride with the time machine suspended in a globe projection system and a walk through an animatronic alien zoo. The Tomorrowland landscape should consist of towering spires and interactive elements, like a cluster of large metallic spheres that emit sounds like an alien language when you touch it or a labyrinth of wavy translucent walls aglow with shifting curtains of color that are drawn to your hand when you touch the surface.
I'm happy they're adding tron it's another space to travel (cyber space) all the other major Tomorrowland attractions always traveled into other spaces (outer, liquid, inner). They just need a cohesive theme that works, paris went steampunk appropriately, and the other ones need to get it together with a cohesive theme. The old retro Tomorrowland is still at tokyo to some extent. Hopefully they just go more into a Sci fi theme instead of trying to capture the future as all disney parks lands are fantasy versions of a theme.
First: Reopen the people mover. Second: Put the rockets back on top of the people mover leading area. Third: Bring back a hi-tech Adventures thru Innerspace. Forth: Either use the old Carousel Of Progress building or tear it down and put in a Tron ride with a large basement so a large part of the track could be subterranean as well as above ground.. Great watch, thanks....
Walt Disney really saw a mountain and said “Imma put that in California.”
Yarp
Tron has still been a shorter wait than there was for KH3, also now that I've finally been to Disneyland, the opening of the video made me think, "Matterhorn, the pain machine", honestly that ride may be a one and done for me, ouch
I agree. Been going to Disneyland for years. They just need to bite the bullet and renovate that whole area.
I’m with you. Shut down Tomorrowland for redo. It’s long past time. Love your videos!
TRON is genuinely the first time I am HYPED for a WDW attraction to open. I'm a huge fan of tron and when I found out there was a ride in Shanghai DL, I would've dropped everything to go ride it! Like, when do you ever have the chance to ride a LIGHTBIKE?! Really hope you're right when you say it will be the new fan favorite!
I see you Dallin. Sneakily putting the Tron: Legacy soundtrack under the video audio. I love it!! Love the video! Keep it up! I'm going to WDW in May and I love keeping up to date with your videos!
I rode Tron 4 or 5 times in Shanghai, and it is fantastic. I fully agree with the claim that Tron will be an instant classic at MK.
Not sure how I feel about the new plain white aesthetic, it looks dated in my opinion, I loved the bright vibrant colours that WDW’s Tomorrowland most recently had, but I understand wanting to choose a single more cohesive theme with the addition of TRON. I really liked the blue of the ride over in Shanghai, and love how their Tomorrowland is built around that aesthetic, feels both futuristic, but is also a simple enough dishing choice that looks sleek and hopefully timeless. I think I would have preferred it had they used the original colour scheme for TRON and incorporated that into the rest of the land, painting everything blue and adding neon and LED lights to the whole land so that it glows at the seams. Still though I’m happy to see that they’re giving some love to Tomorrowland in any colour.
One other rumoured addition I have heard about for WDW’s Tomorrowland is a possible reskin to the Buzz Lightyear ride. I can’t remember where I heard it, but apparently if the new Lightyear movie is successful, they’re gonna retheme Space Ranger Spin to that movie. If true I think it’s greatly needed as it’s incredibly dated with the wooden cut out characters compared to every other version of the ride that has actual figures. Perhaps they could also use some sort of projection mapping in the ride to better see where people are hitting. As far as rethemes go, changing it from the Star Command series aesthetic to a sleeker Lightyear aesthetic would be greatly we,comes, and could really advance and refresh the beloved attraction.
i've said for YEARS that the one thing ride-wise that epcot and magic kingdom have both been lacking is a good, solid thrill roller coaster, and we're finally getting a thrill coaster in both parks. no matter what else happens in both parks, I'm happy.
It makes much more sense for Disney to do the Tomorrowland rehab gradually rather than all at once.
I'm wondering, why can't the Autopia be updated into a lightcycle attraction? There could be still be cars resembling Quorra"s vehicle interspersed with rideable cycles?
It's amazing how Tron has gone from being this embarrassment and flop to being actually respectable and the centerpiece of an upcoming E-Ticket attraction. (I know, I know, Splash Mountain, but when that first appeared at Disneyland, it was only three years after a Song of the South re-release, and the animal characters were still beloved, as was the song "Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah." So by that point Song of the South wasn't quite the embarrassment it became.)
I know this will never happen, but they should really move Star Tours to Galaxy’s Edge. Personally I think it’s better than Smugglers Run
Yes the Orbiter, the round thing on the corner of stitch, and the red lighting need to go!
I’m telling you, if Rockets Rods had a brand new track at the time that would have supported the ride properly, it would still be here till this day.
That would be better than a Peoplemover attraction
The Tron canopy is so epic, Disney needs to incorporate a restaurant that serves more than fast food in order turn this area into a type of futuristic plaza that will only add more life to the area.
I remember that one time the concept was the future that never was, more sci-fi than real tomorrow? I'd go for that. Mid century modern/ art deco , Jetson style, but without that or any other Intellectual property. Also, ditch autopia or Tomorrowland raceway. Sorry, other parks do that concept better, and usually as model t clones. It needs something else. In Disneyland it would be rebuilt and totally re routed people mover. In Orlando, expand people mover or come up with something even more awesome.
As kids in Anaheim, Tomorrowland was our favorite land. Making Tomorrowland a 1960's Mid Century Modern land is as brilliant as Paris' Discoveryland. I would love to Disneyland to get this white shiney 1960's view of the furture.
Doing the Neo Futuristic look works because most of Tomorrowland was done in that style anyways. I think the problem they ran into with the Jules Verne / Steampunk look is they didn't go all in. That look is awesome and if anyone could pull it off it would be Disney but it would be expensive. You'd need gears, steam, copper, zeppelins, etc. to pull that look off.
I have a minor problem with the casting call. Specifically, ORAC being the name they're giving the AI. Obviously, Disney could just be using that name for now and it won't be the actual name of the narrator. And maybe it's an Imagineer's nod to a show of which they are a fan. But, there is a late 1970's British sci-fi show called Blake's 7. The ship's (intelligent) computer on that show was named ORAC. I can't imagine the BBC taking kindly to that name being used by Disney. Unless Disney secretly owns the BBC, too. LOL!
ORAC used to be the name of the people mover narrator for many years. Some time relatively recently(Feels like a decade maybe I’m not sure) when the spiel was changed the voice that guides us on our tour of tomorrow land no longer introduces himself. But he is most likely still ORAC who was the guide since October 71( Maybe😆, I wasn’t born yet)
@@galashery7264 - Good to know! I don't remember the narrator ever introducing himself as ORAC (and I was first there in December 1978); but truth to tell, I didn't pay much attention to the narration.
See I have nostalgia for the old stuff, so while a tommorowland overhaul might be necessary i wouldn't be happy about it
The idea I have of a full-service Tomorrowland restaurant that is retro-futuristic is getting closer and closer to being a reality. I would ADORE a fifties retro-future diner with shows done by cast members. It would be one of the must-do restaurants of the park, perhaps the entire resort!
I thought someone found evidence that Disney ordered two Tron models from Vekoma. If true, that means one model is left waiting in storage somewhere. Disneyland would make sense.
I ate as space 220 a couple days back, I took a dump in space and they were playing space station announcements in the space toilets, loved that touch
The Splash Mountain rap interspersed with Zipadeedoodah is easily the most impressive thing here.
I really miss the Tomorrowland aesthetic from before the recent renovations - the old sign was so much more visually interesting. As long as they keep Buzz though, I'll be happy.
They’ve started testing the ride vehicles on Tron!!!
I somehow managed to notice if you look closely at the Space Mountain sign, it’s the same colors that it was before 2009. I wonder if that was intentional, maybe the ride will be updated. Nice video as always!
Man, I thought from the title it was going to be about Disneyland. Which I guess it kinda is. I'd be okay with Tron in Disneyland too if it meant all of Tomorrowland got a revamp and we got the People Mover back.
Edit: And I definitely thought the Downtown Disney art looked like Tomorrowland artwork also when that came out awhile back.
9:36 Those waterfalls are amazing
I really hope you’re right about TRON opening in October 22, I go in December and I would LOOOOVE that to be the case!
Tokyo Disneyland just announced a complete refurbishing of their Tomorrowland and Space Mountain that frankly? I’m more excited about that this new tron ride that everyone else has seen at Shanghai Disneyland.
I wonder if they’ll change Stitch to something related to Ron gone wrong(?), it fits with the theming and I think was well received when it first became available
Disney didn’t make Ron’s Gone Wrong.
@@feldspar3858 they own the rights to it though so technically could use it if they wanted to. Line with things like test track it used to be a sponsorship partnership and they still used it
I’m gonna say something controversial. Bring. Back. Stitch. Now I’m not saying bring back great escape. I understand people don’t like the ride and I somewhat agree. but. Stitch is such a iconic character that should get better representation somewhere in the parks. I think there should be a dark ride for it. (I’m in the middle of writing this and dallin just brought it up. A Stitch restaurant sounds amazing. I don’t care what you do, you could even put stitch into enchanted tiki room like in Paris ( I think it was Paris?). I just think stitch’s a better attraction.
Once TRON opens, Disney needs to give Space Mountain a proper overhaul. Brand new track, brand new trains with onboard audio, and brand new effects. Also, do something to make it darker inside. That lift hill area gives off a lot of extra light.
Keep the lift hill! It’s awesome! And two tracks too. Just redo the track like Disneyland but keep the layout
@@cookimaus1 Just enclose it a bit more to keep the excess light out. Also make the tunnels wider to allow bigger trains that can accommodate onboard audio and a better seating setup.
@@nathanblalock7019 tbh I think it’s fine as it is. Doesn’t really let off much light and I think it’s a lot better having a centerpiece around the mountain as opposed to nothing. Oooh or you could enclose it in a way that makes it resemble the station from Disneyland, and still keep the flyby. Maybe also make it so the exterior of the ship can be seen so it doesn’t ruin the theming. Also I don’t think widening the tunnels would be possible, even then I’m not sure if it would keep side by side seating from happening, but I think it doesn’t need it. It adds that sort of horror element to the ride, isolated and kind of alone, just make it more comfy
@@cookimaus1 Maybe something like an RMC Raptor which have higher up seats, with modified trains that fit the theme aesthetically and have onboard audio.
@@nathanblalock7019 hahahahaha good joke disneys never gonna work with rmc lol. Vekoma
I want a Tron 1982 attraction to replace Stitches Great Escape, since the MCP would work in a Circlevision show, but now that you have the idea of a sitdown eatery, I can imagine it becoming the End of Line...sitdown...Club
that shot of the people watching the hologram lady reminded me of the scene in Serenity where the crew watches the hologram lady get Butchered by Reavers....ahhhh Disney
Making Stitch a table service restaurant is a brilliant idea.
“And TRON is finally-*commercial*” 😭Yet more delays! 😂
A Tron themed restaurant would be cool
Agree - they had that club in Tron Legacy, would be perfect.
You had me at the use of that eldritch horror of a Splash Mountain promo.
Can't wait for the new Tron coaster and see povs of it, hopefully it will give Tomorrowland a brand new update
Tomorrow land doesn’t just need Tron it also really needs an on board audio for space Mountain
ALRIGHT IM ABOUT TO GENERATE IDEAS. For the space for Stitch's Great Escape, counter service should go there. And where Cosmic Ray's is....We put the table service there. There would be more room and we can keep Sonny Eclipse and give him a dining location fitting of his talents. I also think that the TomorrowLand Speedway should either be pulled for something else or make it Wreck-It Ralph themed and then give it a new ride system. Something trackless if they have room?
Totally agree! Great stuff! You are on a roll right now with the videos! These are going to be all-time classic channel favorites.
I think that Disneyland will either get Tron where the Launch Bay is OR if they expand Avengers campus and they re-theme the ride to Stark Industries in current Hollywoodland
I can never get over that Splash Mountain promo video.
I agree with you about Tomorrowland at Disneyland put up walls to Space Mountain the close it and doze it all but Space Mountain and Monorail. Turn all the dirt except for these two attractions and build something fresh and all that bare ground.
I mean heck, they fit Buzz Lightyear into the Circlevision building…the Imagineers can do anything they put their minds to!
Was just at the Magic Kingdom this past Saturday and they actually just blocked off the side exits of the Space Mountain gift shop to start the redesign.
I have a point, we should make like a very cartoony Frontierland. We have the three caballeros that work so perfectly. And all of the now unemployed splash mountain characters that are not the main brers. It’s a new e ticket
Has anyone else seen the video of at-speed testing of the Tron coaster? Things are a-moving now. We can only hope that the secret designs being worked on now do get to Disneyland Tomorrowland. I'm old school....I miss not only the people mover but the Carousel of Progress! Remember getting on the the moving walkway to the second floor of that building to see a possible model of EPCOT in the late '60s. Great video...lets keep hoping!!
So, I went to the original incarnations of Disneyland's Tomorrowland many times in the 60's 70's 80's and (well it kinda went downhill after that...) They were exciting, kinetic beyond belief, COLORFUL and not actually realistic or futuristic. Just chaotic and a feast for the senses! Things whizzing past you, all around you. Everything was, well, dynamic, moving and invited you in! Unfortunately much of that fun could not be effectively replicated today! But, gol darnit, that level of immersion and activity could be imagineered into existence even now! Kungaloosh!
He was right about the PeopleMover. I’m just happy they kept the “Paging Mr. Morrow, Mr. Tom Morrow” line.
The Tomorrowland Slowway needs some serious love. It doesn't fit in Tomorrowland for one. The cars could be converted to zero emissions and the theming updated to look like Tomorrow.
Its not Disney related , but the new Tomorrowland Bathrooms need the 3 Sea Shells...because you know...the future!
Hey, Disney, bring back the people mover and build Tron where the Carousel theater "THINGY" is and we won't have any trouble!
Space Mountain and Tomorrowland Speedway need major face lifts. FOCUSING ON SPACE MOUNTAIN. That ride broke my back. 😭
Space Mountain should be one of the next top priorities for MK’s Tomorrowland.
I would say that Tomorrowland is an okay area and is better than the one at the Disneyland Resort. Tron will make the Magic Kingdom a one of a kind park to experience this amazing coaster that is also in Shanghai, Disneyland
I’m just looking forward to the Railway running again🚂✨✨✨
Tomorrowland Speedway would be great with sleek, futuristic-looking solar-powered or electric vehicles.
I assume there's an entire department at Disney devoted to messing with you.
I think you're right
he needs to say that the peoplemover shouldn’t come back for it to come back
@@bradbradthebrad ahhh, reverse psychology. I like it
@@nimblehealer199 it’ll work I tell ya
Disneyland's Tomorrowland is so wrecked that we're literally walking underneath an abandoned ride for the majority of it, while looking out at a lagoon that's the epitome of bandaids lol
i'm surprised Dallin doesn't like Tomorrowland in DW. i think it has a nice asthetic. I think these days they are doing Land -refurbs piece by piece instead of all at once. That gift shop building is shaped weird, like the Hall of Justice from Superfriends lol
Disney should put Dallin in charge of new ideas for the park. They would do MUCH better. Also, Dallin when are you going to bring back the end card code words?
How great would it be if '82 got a nod in the park, maybe at the coaster exit to blend the more cyberpunk vibe of Legacy with the (hopefully) retrofuturist Tomorrowland facelift?
Disneyland's Tomorrowland better have a much larger reimagining than the Magic Kingdom's. It needs a PeopleMover, but the price of one is more than Chapek is willing to sign a check for.
I can’t see Chapek green lighting refurbs of the autopia and Astro orbiter just for consistent theming. Maybe if we get a new CEO from the entertainment industry at the end of the year.
I hated earl of sandwich however, a little piece of me died whenever u said they took it out. I thought out of all the things that stay constant in my life early of sandwich would be one of them. 💀
MK's Tommorowland is not "perfect", but it has soooooooo much kinetics and vibrancy, even more so with TRON sitting next to Space Mountain!
When they announced Tron years ago, I knew it would be a classic. However I honestly don't think they will move it to Disneyland for a couple of reasons. 1) room. They would have to take out at LEAST the subs and autopsia to build it. And while I think they probably are going to take out the subs, I don't think they will take out autopia. And 2) money. They can build it on the one side of the country KNOWING people will pay however much to go to WDW and ride that ride. I think the company knows there are enough die hard disney fans that would do that-honestly I'm one of them. To top it all off I know "Disneyland purists" that would flip their absolute shit if they took out too many classic thing. I'm not a purist, but I like the idea of keeping Disneyland "what it was" and improving upon it when it needs it, and WDW the biggest, next best thing all the time. That's kind of how I grew up seeing it in the ads here on the west coast and honestly how the people I know perceive it.
I've not yet gotten the chance to go to WDW, it's going to be my honeymoon. But I go to Disneyland a decent amount, at one point I was going once a year. If I'm wrong on tron I honestly just hope they bring back people mover to make up for the lost attraction that would most likely have to happen.
Well, Disneyland is getting to the point where stuff HAS to be taken out, so people are just going to have to get used to that idea. 1) They are running out of room. 2) A number of attractions are nearing the end of their service life. It’s getting more and more difficult (and expensive) to keep the subs running. And right next door is the Matterhorn. Realistically how many more years can that thing be kept going? Maybe 10 or 20 years? I don’t think they can push it much further than that.
They are also going to have issues keeping Pirates going long term too, but that’s another story.
I started off watching this video thinking nahhhh. But honestly, you convinced me...I've joined the "the new TL is already on the way" train!!!
I feel like they would announce the release date for Tron already if they opened it on October 1, 2022. Remember Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure opened on October 1, and they announced the opening date March of that same year (if I remember correctly). I still hope Tron will open this year I’m hoping it’ll happen. Also, I agree they need to work on the stitch’s great escape attraction after Tron opens.
Ok so, I really need to say this since I've never seen another soul mention it . . . BUT WE NEED A WALL-E RIDE! and a new Tomorrowland would be the best shot to bring one in. The Movie takes place 700 years in the future, everything from the Axiom, and the other ships and robots look so sleek, it would be perfect!
I still suspect that the next piece of Tomorrowland to see a major redress and overhaul will be the Tomorrowland Speedway. As beloved as it is, the noise and stench of the gas powered cars are jarring alongside Space Mountain and now alongside and under Tron. But a full redo is actually a fairly low cost and cost effective option. They have the electric cars from the closed Hong Kong Autopeia. They are clean quiet electric cars with internal lighting effects and full sound systems. Repaint and redecorate the track to better match the theming. Add some futuristic Tron’esque lighting effects throughout (incredibly cost effective thanks to the magic of LED’s) and it’s a whole new ride.
The Jet Packs ride kind of looks like one of those Terry's Chocolate Oranges. They could sponsor the ride and sell them at the exit ;).
Make it colorful and ornate like Discoveryland in Paris and I'm all for it
I wish they tore down Disneyland Tomorrowland add people mover, Tron Light Cycle, keep space mountain. You’re right this is the view of the new Tomorrowland
11:49 Okay, episode request, hear me out: Top Five Restrooms Anaheim, Top Five Restrooms Orlando.
Do a video ranking all the Disneyland and Disney World bathrooms!!!
Splash Mountain's promotional material always absolutely splits my sides with just how EIGHTIES it is.
To me the 1990s version of WDW Tomorrowland wasn't quite "Discoveryland Lite" so much as it was a sort of 1930s Flash Gordon Moderne aesthetic--lots of chrome and rocket fins. It was deliberately cheesy but I liked it.
The little makeovers they've been doing lately look more like they're aimed at recreating the "sleek white Tomorrowland" look that Disney World's Tomorrowland opened with in the early 70s, of which Space Mountain's exterior was the main remaining bit. It was not quite Space Age Jetsons stuff, not quite 80s techno yet, but something a bit different, with cues taken from things like NASA hardware.
