Restore Disneyland Anaheim's Tomorrowland

The Petition to Restore Disneyland Anaheim's Tomorrowland for Future Generations aims to persuade Michael Eisner, the CEO of the Walt Disney Co. and members of the Walt Disney Co as well as the members of Team Disney Anaheim (TDA) to restore Tomorrowland of Disneyland Park at the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California to it's creator, Walt Disney's, original masterpiece.

It is acknowledged that Tomorrowland was one of Mr. Disney's most beloved "lands" of the Park and featured many attractions which aimed to look into the future of American society with intelligence, imagination, and enjoyment.

It is per request of the Undersigned of this petition that the Tomorrowland of Walt be restored from it's "New Tomorrowland" 1998-era remodel and since decay. The land's bronze-colored decor and lack of substantial attractions fails to please visitors with only 2 major attractions being Star Tours and Space Mountain (re-opening in 2005) and several less-pleasing attractions including the Club Buzz children's stage, Honey I Shrunk The Audience, and the Astro-Orbitors. We ask that major attractions which constantly pleased visitors of the Park be brought back, such as The People Mover, The Submarine Voyage, and Skyway, to name a few. The reintroduction of these attractions would utilize the infrastructures they once used and that are currently empty and lifeless and would bring new attractions to a new generation of visitors and would bring back classics that the parents of this new generation would remember and again enjoy.

It is also suggested that the Astro-Orbitor be removed from the courtyard of the Tomorrowland entrance to clear up space which is needed to lessen traffic congestion. Also, the now cluttered courtyard becomes an area much like a sardine can during parades which pass by the entrance to Tomorrowland on a nightly basis. The clearing of space in this area would allow more visitors to use this space to view the parade and also likely help those not enjoying the parade to enter and exit Tomorrowland during these times.

This petition also suggests the removal of the Innoventions showcase for the revival of Disney's Carousel of Progress or an entirely new attraction which could revive the building which houses Innoventions. It can be assumed that Innoventions is a large strain financially on Disneyland to maintain and keep running considering lines for the ride are hardly substantial enough to fill only a small section of the large queue for the attraction.

The vision of Tomorrowland was to bring the future to Disneyland's visitors. Of course, some of the old attractions now removed from Tomorrowland are since dated with the dawn of extreme technological advances since their creation, yet instead of letting them forever be missed they should be added once more, possibly with new-age upgrades and new features to remind past visitors of the park of the old days and let new visitors experience new rides but with a new, modern twist that only Disney could create.

This petition has been created with the hope to restore Tomorrowland to the land Walt originally planned and created instead of the new, lackluster land it has become. This new Tomorrowland which visitors are offered with lacks the punch the old Tomorrowland once had. Let's hope that Disney's new Tomorrowland is not a vision of the company and theme park's future itself: an uninteresting, decaying mess of something spectacular that once was.
