But it's hard to imagine what today's Tomorrowland looks like without the crowds. I've never been there when the crowds weren't overwhelming the scenery...Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12409785011989904117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2228174552203445896.post-20690159190442109952011-08-09T20:26:18.959-04:002011-08-09T20:26:18.959-04:00Good points in your article!

I agree though with Cousin Orville that one would have hoped the attractions would have evolved into something much better that what we have now. I guess that EPCOT Center siphoned off some of that creative energy.<br /><br />I too like the original clean design even though it was a bit sterile. What's interesting is that thanks to companies like Apple, clean design is back in vogue (clutter is out)....and retro 50's/60's is also popular. I would definitely support cleaning-up the over-designed spaceport clutter and develop a "plussed" design that evokes more of the original Tomorrowland. They did a very successful job of it with Disneyland's Space Mountain.Omnispacenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2228174552203445896.post-6802430893542073822011-08-06T19:08:57.892-04:002011-08-06T19:08:57.892-04:00I agree with you that most people want the clean d...I agree with you that most people want the clean design back, rather than the attractions. I kind of agree, but I think the Flash Gordon look serves the park better for reasons I'll enumerate in my next post.<br /><br />I'm so glad that we still have the PeopleMover in Florida. Ripping it out at Disneyland before they were sure that the Rocket Rods would work was a huge mistake.<br /><br />Thanks for reading!David Landonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12909440700102911571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2228174552203445896.post-74039454094431285532011-08-06T00:26:05.621-04:002011-08-06T00:26:05.621-04:00I think when people talk about wanting the old Tom...I think when people talk about wanting the old Tomorrowland back, they mean the clean design moreso than the attractions that were part of it. <br /><br />Then again, I'd argue that the current crop of attractions in today's Tomorrowland are only marginally better than what was there in the 90s anyways. <br /><br />At least WDW still has a Peoplemover adding kinetic energy to Tomorrowland. Out here in California, ours is a rather lifeless area of the park without it.Cousin Orvillehttp://www.zazzle.com/cousinorvillenoreply@blogger.com
