TomorrowlandTomorrowland is one of the five original lands that form a ''Magic Kingdom''-style theme park, owned by The Walt Disney Company. ===Disneyland=== The first Tomorrowland opened at Disneyland in 1955, but was famously half-built due to budget cuts. In 1967 Tomorrowland was revived, with brand new rides and scenery. In 1998, Tomorrowland received a new paint scheme and some new attractions, but was considered a flop, especially after its flagship new attraction, Rocket Rods, closed in September 2000. The 1998 new Tomorrowland was very controversial among Disney fans; some liked it, some didn't. In February 2005, Walt Disney Imagineering approved a repaint of Tomorrowland for Happiest Homecoming on Earth that would incorporate most of the 1967-1997 paint scheme, but keep a little of the gold and bronze of the 1998 scheme. Rocket scientist and Hitler elite Wernher von Braun designed many of the scientific features of Tomorrowland. ===The Magic Kingdom=== The second Tomorrowland opened with a much larger budget in 1971 at The Magic Kingdom park in the Walt Disney World Resort, Florida. The new Tomorrowland was built much closer to Walt Disney's vision, whereas Disneyland's Tomorrowland struggled to come close due to a very small budget. Today, Tomorrowland is the pioneer of all Tomorrowlands. Some of the most popular Disney park attractions premiered here - Space Mountain opened in 1975 and is now part of every Tomorrowland around the world. Classic Disneyland Tomorrowland attractions that have since closed live on at the Magic Kingdom - the PeopleMover is here under the name of the Tomorrowland Transit Authority, and the Carousel of Progress is still here. ===Tokyo Disneyland=== The paint scheme is mostly entirely white, as is Tomorrowland at the Magic Kingdom. The Imagineers set out to create an urban Tomorrowland, much more like a working community than a showcase of future technology. The rides are much more technology-specific, and effects are much more expensive and hard-hitting. Many see the Tokyo Disneyland Tomorrowland as the definitive finished article of Walt Disney's vision - due to a much larger budget for the Imagineers to play with, courtesy of the Oriental Land Company. ===Disneyland Paris=== Discoveryland is Disneyland Paris's version of Tomorrowland, and opened in 1992.It has most of the traditional Tomorrowland attractions, like Autopia, Star Tours, and the Orbitron (cloned at Disneyland in Anaheim as the Astro Orbiter). A major difference from other Tomorrowlands is its Jules Verne-style architecture, which made a home at Disneyland's Tomorrowland in 1998, adding elements from Disneyland Paris's Discoveryland, but in February 2005, Disneyland's Tomorrowland had begun being repainted as it was before the 1998 paint scheme. Another major difference is Discoveryland's Space Mountain. This Space Mountain is different, as it is launched by linear induction motor and has inversions. ===Hong Kong Disneyland=== Hong Kong Disneyland opens in 2005 with its own version of Tomorrowland. Announced attractions include Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters, the Orbitron, and the Space Mountain roller coaster. Disney parks and attractions Tomorrowland* Can someone list some of the attractions in Tommorowland? I'd also like to see more about why it was changed in 1998, what the changes were like, and why they decided to change it again. -- ShawnVW Check List of current Disneyland attractions and List of past Disneyland attractions articles. --User:Evanwohrman 06:06, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC) See other meanings of words starting from letter: TTA | TB | TC | TD | TE | TF | TG | TH | TI | TJ | TK | TL | TŁ | TM | TN | TO | TP | TR | TS | TU | TW | TX | TY | TZ |Words begining with Tomorrowland: Tomorrowland Tomorrowland Tomorrowland_Transit_Authority |
