The main Tomorrowland marque on the bridge that leads into the land will be removed this week to be rebuilt with an all new look.

During the work, the bridge will remain open, with the new sign set to be installed later in the summer.

Disney is currently at work refreshing the look of Tomorrowland leading up to the Magic Kingodom's 50th anniversary and the opening of the new TRON coaster.

They can do whatever they want, just don’t change the star tunnel queue music

I know people crap on MK having a lot of rollercoasters, but that is honestly a pretty rounded group of coasters that cover a wide range of age groups and thrill levels. There's something for everyone.

I'm assuming they will keep it the rollercoaster intensity Barnstormer>7D>Big Thunder>Space>Tron>Villains. Making it longer or adding mini launches can make the ride more enjoyable without changing the intensity level.

I don’t see them making the thrill level more intense than what they have now. I worry it will be less thrilling than what is there now.

While I do love our Space Mountain for the classic it is, I would love to see what modern day Vekoma could come up with inside the building. The stuff they are building now is insanely good. Currently they are building this indoor launched coaster at Galaxyland in Canada:

Thanks to Martin's video... there is actually a lot of "empty" space in the building that could be utilized. Adding some small launches to utilize more the the upper area of the dome could make a longer ride.

I guess there are still things to learn everyday.

The session guitarist? He was in the Tomorrowland BGM at one point?

Put Larry Carlton back into the BGM and I’ll be satisfied

New wild mouse style coasters are still allowed.

That’s not a standard that exists for rides. A new track would be a new ride and require compliance with contemporary standards. This is also true of accessibility as noted in Advisory 234.1 of the EPCOT Accessibility Code, Florida Building Code - Accessibility, and the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design. But the wheelchair requirements (because the ADA covers more than just mobility access) are not significant, only requiring a wheelchair space, a transfer seat or a transfer device for the ride itself. The current Disneyland track is not exactly the same layout as the original. There were slight adjustments to accommodate for clearance, mostly related to the more robust track structure

I was concerned about any change to the track would mean completely rethinking the entire thing to fit new standards... that would inclide little things like changing some of the banking manuevers and just smoothing it out a bit while retaining the basic original path... I would hate for our version to lose it's sudden drops and surprises...and the fact that urs is fully double-tracked is pretty amazing... I think any change to make the vehicles ADA would completely impact the entire thing... but who knows at this point... There is a lot more of Tomorrowland that also needs work...

That means new track with new clearances you lose grandfather status when you don’t copy the old design exactly. It would be nice if they added an ADA loading zone like DL has though. With the extra space in the loading area and unload area seems possible, but would require additional CMs.
