Tomorrow land is one of those "themed
lands" at the many Magic Kingdom-type parks operated by The Walt Disney Company
around the world.
Walt Disney was of opinion that tomorrow can be an astonishing age.
Scientists today are opening the doors of the Space Age to successes that will
help children and generations to come.
The Tomorrowland attractions have been planned to give you an
occasion to participate in adventures that are a living outline of our future.

During the delayed 1980s and early 1990s, the planning phase of Michael Eisner's
"Disney Decade" called for both American Tomorrowlands to receive makeovers.
"Tomorrowland 2055" was slated to be finished by the late 1990s.
Within the new land were planned attractions such as ExtraTERRORestrial Alien
Encounter; a replica of the original Magic Kingdom description, The Timekeeper;
the American version from the Magic Kingdom, Plectu's Fantastic Intergalactic
Revue; an audio-animatronic musical revue, and makeovers for classic
attractions. However, due to financial difficulties surrounding the EuroDisney
project, the plan was cut severely and plans were shelved until 1997.

A new Tomorrowland started in 1998,
loosely based on Disneyland Paris' Discoveryland, and loosely based on a "retro
futurist" concept.
In place of the slow-moving PeopleMover was the unfortunate Rocket Rods.
Most of the rides remained the same, excluding for the elimination
of Circle-Vision 360, Captain EO, and Mission to Mars attraction theaters.
The Rocket Jets were replaced by a similar attraction called the Astro Orbitor,
placed at the entry of the land, at ground level.

The main Rocket Jets ride mechanics remained same atop the Rocket Jets queue,
transformed into an unmanned show element dubbed the "Observatron".
Two EPCOT theme park attractions found their place in Tomorrowland, "Honey, I
Shrunk the Audience!" The whole land, including Space Mountain, was tinted in
bronzes, gold, and dark browns, with emerald green trims on some attractions.
The repair was detested among many fans, and its flagship new attraction, Rocket
Rods, closed in September 2000 for financial and mechanical reasons. Many shops
and restaurants opened, but few new Orlando attractions were built, in
accordance with policies set by Paul Pressler and Cynthia Harriss mandating the
growth of retail gap.
The Rocket Rods building was left unfilled, paint peeled around the land, Space
Mountain was in danger of way malfunction, and one by one, sponsors left
Innoventions. The placement of the Astro-Orbitor led to jamming problems around
the doorway of the area. The negative look of the land was opined by many
Disney admirers on online chat rooms and articles. Here the major Florida theme
park attractions are-
. Astro Orbitor
. Autopia
. Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters
. Disneyland Monorail System
. Disneyland Railroad
. Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage
. Honey, I Shrunk the Audience
. Innoventions
