Tomorrowland
The stark, antiseptic future forecasted by the original design of Tomorrowland had become embarrassingly pass‚ by the mid-90s: Bare concrete and plain white walls, plus such outdated rides as Star Jets and Mission to Mars, said more about Eisenhower-era aesthetics, or lack thereof, than third-millennium progress. To revitalize what had become the least appealing area of the Magic Kingdom, Disney artists and architects created new facades, restaurants, and shops for an energized Future City, which is more similar in mood to the theme villages of other lands. And this time around the creators showed that they had learned their lesson: Rather than predict a tomorrow destined for obsolescence, they focused on "the future that never was"-the future envisioned by sci-fi writers and moviemakers in the '20s and '30s, when space flight, laser beams, and home computers belonged in the world of fiction, not fact.
