However, I kind of do like how Tomorrowland looks now. Maybe I got used to it. However, I say the the spinning satellite needs to be replace by having Astro Orbiter back in its original place when it was Rocket Jets.

I don't know if anybody realizes this, but technically, rocket jets is still above the peoplemover entrance, it's paint and non-mechanical parts (like the rockets) were torn off and satellites replaced the rockets, and it was repainted. It is now called the Observatron.

If anything, I think America was under as much strain as it is today - between the Cold War with the USSR and Cuba and the Civil Rights Movement, we had a great deal on our plate.

Yes, I did know that and I agree with everything you said. Therefore, I think it is plausible for Disney to step it up in this category.

It will need a ton of work again to have passengers ever again. They can't just put cars on it and call it a ride again. They will probably have to replace many of the parts.

I asked a cast member about changes to Tomorrowland and she said that HISTA is leaving possibly later this year and Adventure thru Inner Space might come back. She said that she saw some imagineers pointing at buildings and talking. I hope ATIS comes back Iv'e always wanted to ride it. George Lucas confirmed Star Tours 2 as did Anthony Daniels who says he has recorded new dialogue for the attraction, and the company Lucas worked with on Indy 4 (Their name slipped my mind) said that their next project will be Star Tours 2, I sure hope so. It is supposed to be some sort of pod race ride, which would be pretty cool, as long as there are no Pixar characters in it, lol.

The first one is probably true (considering Imagination! at Epcot is getting a massive refurb including the removal of HISTA there. As for the return of ATIS Dont' believe every thing a Cast Member tells you.

BLAB, FNSV, and the Innoventions Dream Home are apparently the start of a New Tomorrowland, I sure hope so. Maybe something with Figment, please?

ryguy222 · 09-13-2008, 11:09 PM

^Why? Figment is an old thing why bring it back? Disney doesn't really seem interested with bringing back old things. Yes the subs, but none of theme is there, just the ride itself. They could bring a ride in similar to the figment one, but without the same theme.

emman · 09-19-2008, 07:16 PM

Figment old?? REALLY!!??!?!?!? Nah, I support that idea cuz FIGMENT RULESSS!!, BRING FIGMENT TO DL!!!! Of course, in a new ride, maybe a new way to imagine than to use your senses, or it could be journey into THE imagination, and u go thru a brain!! :P just sayng crazy stuff but i WOULD LOVE TO SEE FIGMENT OVER HERE!!

Sesshomaru-sama · 09-19-2008, 08:44 PM

The return of Adventures Thru Inner Space would be great, but where would they put it? The 3-D theatre has always been a 3-D theatre. Would they take that away for a ride?

Actually the HISTA theater was originally an open air theater with a stage. It wasn't until they were making Captain EO that it became an enclosed, screened theater. So they could just get rid of it and make that into an attraction of another type.

PeoplemoverMatt · 09-19-2008, 09:05 PM

But Space Mountain's stand-by queue also takes up the roof of the HISTA theatre. Any construction inside the theatre would likely necessitate the closing of Space Mountain, or at least some bizarre redirection of its queue.

Executioner · 09-19-2008, 09:10 PM

Well the outer rim of the upper tier is not actually part of the roof. Cause that was the original queue for the ride before. You can see where the roof had been put in. The expansion joints around the "launch/land" pad where the rubbery section is.
But yeah even still, any major construction could cause or be cause of a direct redirection of the SM queue. Which could mean that no more FastPass for the time being if they did. They could use that for the regular queue as it really isn't part of that building of HISTA.

HiddenMickey · 09-20-2008, 12:21 AM

They could wrap the queue down the entrance way where you walk up to the current queue and FP distribution center, and maybe use the outside seating area of Redd Rockett's. But oh what a pain in the bottom all that would be. Keep the theatre, just replace the show.

Figment is a tiny lovable purple dragon that is a living figment of imagination. He has a home at Future World in EPCOT. Here is a picture of him: http://int.cysd.k12.pa.us/graybill/Fantasy/figment.gif
