Disneyland Railroad, Space Mountain and Innoventions
The Disneyland Railroad provides a link to the past. In fact, from the Tomorrowland station, it provides a link to the Grand Canyon and a prehistory of that same area as audioanimatronic dinosaurs rule the world before heading out to Main Street, U.S.A.
Space Mountain is a classic roller coaster. It should not be changed too much though I have heard good things about the Halloween overlay. Since space travel isn’t a regular thing anymore even for American astronauts, it can still be seen as part of the future.
When the new Tomorrowland was envisioned, Innoventions was the place that was supposed to house the spirit of what Tomorrowland was supposed to be. There was a general idea that Tomorrowland could never actually live up to its ideal, especially without the participation of key companies willing to showcase their advances in science, which are nowadays always controversial.

While the current Innoventions allows people to explore the House of Tomorrow and has Honda’s robot presentation and other quasi-future presentations that people can see at Epcot in Florida, it also houses the interactive video game area featuring XBox, the Thor meet and greet, and the Iron Man experience. Those last three are not futuristic – with the video game area a blatant attempt to market the console if not those Disney properties on the console.
It isn’t that the exhibits are bad. There was time when I would have loved to play video games all day, even though I was at Disneyland. It is that they do not speak to tomorrow.
