The new color scheme in the Magic Kingdom's Tomorrowland is well underway, with painting in progress at Carousel of Progress, the Laugh Floor and "The Purple Wall."

The Purple Wall has a new graphic overlay, but still retains a large flat purple section, which should please guests who like to grab a photo for social media.

not what I would have in mind...lol. But the Aria has beautiful kinetic waterfalls at their entrance....that don't spray people with water...it adds a whole lot to their entrance.... Not sure they could make that system work on the exact duplicate waterfalls they had in Tomorrowland, but they could probably do something that was dramatic with them...something that would look modern and suit the theme....

I hear they are pulling out all the asbestos in the utilidors.

I've heard it's a big issue.

Some have had it with the alligators in the utilidors.

You are right about that...Disneyland's Tomorrowland is a bigger mess.... They REALLY need to address the ruins of the people mover and figure all of that out....

Could be worse, could be Disneyland's Tomorrowland.

Even not running, the forms are still sculptural and beautiful...I thought they just had the tower waterfall, but I may be mistaken on that...I remember seeing a picture of it running but it could have been old... There is no reason why these things could not work in some fashion... I believe the technology is there now... even if it is all lighting and screen integration...it could still be beautiful and kinetic.... rather than our Tomorrowland that is just rocks...

They don’t have any waterfalls in tokyos i dont think

I think the Tokyo Tomorrowland looks good, but I think it is mostly because they still have their towers and waterfalls in place... The architectural forms themselves still look futuristic... Sadly ours are gone and will not come back... I think we are stuck now with the completely uninspired rocks and iron-like white ring ... It is not great....or even good....

While more aesthetically pleasing to look at it just screams dated to me. Very 80s and doesn’t seem futuristic in my opinion but I know some are definitely not gonna agree.
