Will Disney update Tomorrowland now that the movie is coming out?

Here is an idea. Get rid of Stitch and the transit authority. Rebuild the transit authority with hot rods from the future. Have them shoot around the old track with quick excelleration to 25mph and then corner until everyone feels like their head is going to fall off. Then every year or so, have one burst into flames...just to keep it interesting. ;)

The speedway is very tired, and even my boys when they were about 9 & 7 years old though it was lame compared to the go-karts they could drive at our local amusement centers. I think the concept of the speedway would be very popular with a "Cars" theme, with part of it indoors so you could cruise Radiator Springs at night; but it doesn't fit in Tomorrowland. The speedway's time is past and it really has no connection to any Disney classic other being one of the first attractions in Disneyland. That large space could be used for 2 or 3 new more relevant and fun attractions.

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.

Of course....:thumbsup: I also listen to a few others....Lou mongellos and WDW today...to name a couple...But, Of course...Intercots podacast as well!!:mickey:

I wouldn't call Tron Legacy a failure... Budget: $170 million, box office take worldwide: over $400 million... True, domestically it barely made it's budget, but did $228 million foreign... And we are getting a third Tron... Failures, like John Carter, don't get sequels... Not with Disney and their tent pole movie strategy...

Plus, a tron light cycle coaster was rumored for Shanghai... But not sure where that attraction currently stands... Possibly cut...

Yet they are still making another Tron movie.

Maybe JJ Abrams will direct.

Guys, Tron didn't set the earth on fire. No other way to put it and this is coming from one of the original movies biggest fans. It did fine... But I don't see it coming to the parks unless someone does a heck of a job kickstarting a new franchise.

I would prefer that they "fix" Hollywood Studios & Epcot first before taking apart Tomorrowland!!!

I say - keep the speedway, but make the cars solar powered or something environmentally friendly.

And no one better touch MY people mover!!!! :mickey:

I agree! The removal of the TTA might cause me to give up my disney obsession. I would really rather not think about that....

The uber success of the Marvel Cinemtaic Universe movies has placed some serious unreasonable expectations for any Disney live action movies.

If live action doesn't gross $1 billion, it's not seen as a success in today's environment.

While I agree that the speedway doesn't fit, my kids love it and want to go on it more than once, every time. They are now 4 and 7, but have no gotten tired of it yet.

And I am in the "touch my peoplemover and you die" crowd.

I have no problems with Tomorrowland staying the way it is for the time being if it means they will fix future world in Epcot. It makes me sad to see all the closed up and wasted space over there.

I agree - touch peoplemover & a revolt will ensue. I think other areas specifically EPCOT - Future World is in dire need of an update yesterday so basically now not 2020.

Initial buzz seems positive about the movie. Rotten Tomatoes rates it a "fresh" so far (76%) So maybe...just maybe it will be a hit...

I worry that a redo of Tomorrowland would spell the end of CoP. It is a classic, but if the decision makers look at it on paper, it is not the most popular.

I hope I am wrong.

I like CoP as well, but come on, Walt is dead. These parks need new attractions!
