We enter its world as part of its past - like a future museum, which they style after a key time: our late-mid-century "space age." Tech, lifestyle and entertainment that seems futuristic or retro-future to us, key points in progress, all presented so we can understand them. It's ok if things are dated, because they all represent something future-looking and the point is what we take from them.<br /><br />For example a space flight, futuristic for us, is their attempt to recreate what it was like in early space flight. An upgraded earth-friendly, solar-themed Peoplemover might be an example of what started "modern" mass transit - promising and modern to inspire us, framed as something for them to point out as important to evolution. Star Tours would be an attempt to recapture an early example of future fantasy. Etc.<br /><br />We find glimpses of what progress brought to daily life and we can again think, gee the future must be even better.Chiana_Chathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18329208224763179478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-69640962326542645792012-05-04T15:29:08.186-07:002012-05-04T15:29:08.186-07:00Every other "land" is devoted to the pas...Every other "land" is devoted to the past. I think Tomorrowland should also be devoted to the history of tomorrow, and how far we were wrong or how close we came to predictions of the future.<br /><br />CoxPilotAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-69933788778551021702012-05-04T15:02:02.957-07:002012-05-04T15:02:02.957-07:00Thanks to both of you, especially for taking the t...Thanks to both of you, especially for taking the time to comment.

If it was to remain a very 'retro' tomorrrowland that would be more fun that what it has become now.Mike, Studio Cityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16401905153354198943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-32855881756150340702012-05-04T07:49:22.470-07:002012-05-04T07:49:22.470-07:00You have such an incredible collection of vintage ...You have such an incredible collection of vintage B&W Disneyland images.
