The new concrete design for the Tomorrowland walkway at the Magic Kingdom is heading across the bridge and towards the hub.

All of the cog-shaped patterns on the ground have been removed and replaced with a simple long gray strip of dark concrete along the center, bordered by a lighter shade on either side.

Underneath the sign, the concrete is shaped in a diamond pattern.

Construction has been underway for several months, and it looks like the project will soon be complete.

I know trackless rides are overdone now, but I think a trackless WALL-E ride could be incredible. Creeping up on things only to zip away, startled. Spinning through space with a fire extinguisher. Maybe even elevators to blast off and crash back down to earth.

💯 %

I do agree! I keep hoping one day it will revert back

They were going to do something similar with Tomorrowland at DLR (inspired by the future that never was) but cheaped out majorly and ended up making it worse.

Yeah a bus bar dark ride for Wall-E or Stitch would slap.

Incrediiibles v. the Martians Midcentury atomic age scifi retro. Perfect fit.

I miss the original with the cannon boom from the launch you could hear all over the park.... the blast of steam and smoke as it launched...it was true Disney magic....Now it's Hyperspace Mountain... meh... Not sure how long it has been that, but I know at least the last 11 years....

You're not wrong but I am referring to the exterior. Just the look. The look is timeless and does not need to be redone every 10 years.

Just found out about Tokyo’s wreck it Ralph retheme of buzz and I am so jealous, wish we could get any WiR in Tomorrowland

but Space Mountain in Disneyland Was redone...it is now Hyperspace Mountain and the theming that was the whole story of the Jules Verne from the earth to the moon is now gone and replaces with Star Wars overlay... So as lovely and timeless as it was, they did remove the heart of it...Just didn't remodel the exterior.....yet.....

Like they did with discoveryland at Disneyland Paris! The steampunk future has kind of held up For over 30 years now without need for a major redo. I'm surprised that from that standpoint Disney has not mimicked this at Disneyland, or Walt Disney World. It's a classic view of the future through the eyes of the past visionaries such as Jules Verne. And it was lovely.

I... don't hate that idea. I could totally imagine an alternate, um, tomorrow in which Cosmic Rewind had been built at MK and they built Wakanda-themed area next to it. There could be a ride focused on Shuri that takes you into the lab to test out new flight techology. They want to integrate Black Panther at the parks, and that would certainly integrate with the vision I outlined where Tomorrowland focuses on fantastic advanced technology.
