Does anyone know if they have plans to update Tomorrowland? It seems like the next ideal area to update in MK.

Funny you ask....I have head rumours that Tomorrowland is about to get another...overhaul. And, the speedway may be gone. There is so many pod casts i listen to...Im not sure which one it was. Who knows. But, I'm sure it will get a redo in the future.

Tomorrowland is next to be updated at MK. Who knows what century Disney will do it. I am guessing 2022.

I would love for the speedway to be removed. It sits on a huge plot of land that could be used for both Fantastland and Tomorrowland expansion. But mostly the speedway is so unimaginative. When it came out at Disneyland it was unique. No where could kids drive a car like that. But now every carnival that comes to town has one. That amount of space could bring two fantastic attractions.

:ditto:

Stitch needs to go! And if they keep the speedway, def give it a nice overhaul top to bottom. New cars, new track, new things to see as you drive....

I think its to early to tell and to assume anything. The movie doesn't officially start until 5-22-15 therefore there nothing to base any of these rumors on. If the movie does well then yeah changes may happen. But there no way to know.

The movie to me has nothing to do with the area in the park from what I see. I guess only time will tell.

I would love to see an update! Tomorrowland is one of my favorite sections of the park but like everyone else said Stick needs to go. On top of that the speedway doesnt really fit with the whole theme and is on a huge plot of land. Monsters Inc is funny but a one time shot for me as well....

Not to mention that with the advanced video driving/racing video games today and the electric powered vehicles for kids, the thrill is not the same. Although, I would rather them spend time/energy on HS and Epcot right now.

I hope you listen to ours!

I think as with anything, theme park tie ins are driven by box office success. If the movie is a huge hit and spawns sequels, you can bet the tie ins will get deeper. If its not a blockbuster, then nothing will happen. My guess is contingencies are being drawn up and ideas are at the blue sky stage... We'll see how the movie does. I saw the 10 minute preview. Made me want to see the movie but also felt is was a little plasticy in the CGI department. Hoping it does well.

I hope so. Tomorrowland and Future World have long suffered. Anything that doesn't involve filling them with Pixar-based attractions is worthy of consideration.

Could they make the speed way into a tron theme? Kids would love to drive futuristic motorcycles. That would fit the theme. I like the speedway but agree that it is tired.

Unfortunately Tron pretty much failed at the box office so its not like to happen.
