Seriously, what would you put in Starcade? I'm actually out of ideas. And a big thanks to my sponsor Ye Olde Proppe Shoppe ye-olde-proppe-shoppe.myshopify.com

I feel like a WALL-E dark ride would work well in a “solarpunk” tomorrowland. Even more of a reason to preserve our planet instead of letting it go to waste.

"Tomorrowland has been the problem of every single Disney park" EuroDisney: I don't know what you're talking about.

I was really hoping it would just say “add back the peoplemover” then end

One thing, if the theme is future and greenery, where’s Wall-E? A film that fits both of the themes? Anything from a dark ride or simulator or peoplemover could fit

I love the idea of solar punk, and I think it would be a great way to introduce sustainability and eco friendliness to the parks. I doubt Disney would include things like homes for native bees, but maybe hydroponics in the food areas, more native plants in the planters, and education about those things. The hydroponics idea might become outdated as people try new farming methods out, but it could still be themed nicely and updating should be fairly cheap

Tomorrowland really does need an update, and this is so well done

It's ironic that retro-future Tomorrowland is really the only version that would be relevant for any extended period of time. The only way to "future-proof" it is to go backwards. YesterTomorrowland.

This has all been said before but i don’t understand how LITERAL DISNEY doesn’t get that the only two ways to make tomorrowland definitively futuristic forever would be either to reference past ideas of the future like 80s retro-future, or steampunk, or *ahem jules verne,* OR you could look at the few aesthetic things and ideas that have always been futuristic like architectural minimalism and unnatural cleanliness, edit: and eco-sustainability

I think an interesting happy medium between OG Tomorrowland and your Solar Punk vision would be the future depicted in Meet the Robinsons! Granted, it takes place in 2037, which would make it outdated fairly soon, but it's bright and bubbly and grassy and already pretty heavily based on Tomorrowland (it's called Todayland, for pete's sake, haha) so you wouldn't have to change many rides to fit the theme.

Instead of a Big Hero Six ride, I would really love a Wall-E dark ride where you get a tour around the Axiom and (potentially) get chased down by Auto as you try to get to one of the escape pods. Doesn't that sound cool? Sounds amazing to me.

Bro this is where the moneys need to go Didney

Honestly they should go full 50s retro futuristic for the land, take a page from Ray Bradbury's book, make the advancements actually futuristic but make the aesthetic more in tune with the original, keep the retro rockets but make them go to the next biggest terrestrial body, rip out the forced IP's and make them futuristic, maybe make the submarine ride one about exploring the potential of undersea living and research.

To build on your Solarpunk ideas, I think most of the stuff in the land should be either electric or solar powered, and most of the food should be plant-based to really drive in the message of sustainability being the future. Also you could replace the merch store with a store that sells plant terrariums that have models of different rides and lands (and they could charge extra for families to plant their own seeds in the land with a label, so then kids could learn about the importance of the environment, and people could have their own spot of Tomorrowland, because “everyone has a part in creating a better tomorrow TM”) And instead of the Buzz/ Big Hero 6 ride, I think an original dark ride about Skippy from Alien Encounter escaping like an alien zoo into Tomorrowland (where its green and open and alien friendly!) could tie better into the land (and Skippy would sell a lot more plushies and merch).

That’s a phenomenal redesign of Tomorrowland if I ever heard one. It all sounds great. Yes Disneyland deserves the Tron Coaster. The people mover re-track is perfect, Big Hero 6 is an interesting choice to bring into “New Tomorrowland”, although I would also like to see something with WALL-E. But yeah, fantastic ideas.

I think that mission space should be a WALL·E dark ride not going to lie I think it would be a good fit

Someone get this man a job in Imagineering. This is absolutely incredible!

I will say, when I went to Disneyland for the first time, knowing that just above me was the abandoned Peoplemover was both sad and motivating. I would love to see it return to form and I think the idea of opening up the central walkway is brilliant.

Cant stop thinking about how San Fransokyo would’ve been such a good addition to California Adventure, ya know, assuming anybody actually wanted a California themed theme park

I would love to see this solar punk aesthetic combined with some fifties futurism. Would love to see a full service restaurant with this theme in mind, serving up delicious but out of this world food. In addition, it would also have different shows, including music, comedy, and games. “Silver Lights on Tomorrowland” I think would be a neat name for it.

Well, since you have Tron...you could actually make the opening/facade to the entrance and gift shop Flynn's Arcade. May not fit PERFECTLY with the solarpunk aesthetic, but it fits perfectly with the Tron theme, and you get an Arcade! Add a wee Retro on the inside, maybe with a little bit of solarpunk on the outside...boom, gift shop with a theme and fits with Tron! Is it because I'm a major Tron fan and would love an actual Flynn's Arcade with Tron merch? Yes, yes it is. And I love arcades because Norway has none anymore and I want arcades >:(

Have the Peoplemover track run into a tunnel alongside TRON, recreating the old World of TRON tunnel. Bring the Lightcycle track out of the main building, and run its length farther into Tomorrowland, extending the ride time and utilizing empty space. House the extended track into tunnels with a 2-way mirror effect that would allow the public to see the cycles zipping by, but ensures the riders stay immersed in the experience without looking at the park. This could be enhanced with projections, lighting, and fans like Space Mountain that keeps the illusion of speed in certain areas. The main building would be smaller and free up space for another ride. Just saying.

This was great! Light Speed uses the Alcubiere warp drive. Monorail and Peoplemover are both maglev. The whole land is energy neutral. The food is GOURMET with hydroponic vegetarian and vegan options. Love the jetpacks!

If they would just make Tomorrowland a steampunk retro futuristic land then it wouldn't need an update every ten years. Just make it like the future of Jules Verne's imagination, like Paris did, but better. IDK why they haven't done something like that

So..as an old guy that grew up with Disneyland..worked at Disneyland and still goes to Disneyland bringing the People Mover back is high on my list..it would be so nice for us old people to have something that moves at our speed..oh I love all the coaster type rides but a nice slow ride like the People Mover would be nice.. Thanks for the video Rj

Love all these ideas, especially the sleek, solar punk concept combined with the kinetic design of the Tron ride and EPCOT’s Living with the Land aesthetic. Adding real world inspiration from things like Singapore’s Gardens by the Bay would make it memorable and appealing, with curved accessible walkways and many points of interest at different eye levels.

I'm so glad you're as obsessed with The People Mover as me! I was fortunate to ride it for my first and only time mere months before it was closed forever. (Rode the rockets when they were there - ugh.) I took my fam to WDW this year... While theirs was still closed. I had planned our dates after they said it would be open, and then they postponed it again right before we left. 😭

Interesting concept. Instead of shrinking Tron, I’d expand it to travel around other attractions in Tomorrowland like The People Mover. It would bring a lot of kinetic energy to the land that is missing.

Has anyone ever heard of Darwin IV? It's a speculative evolution/Sci Fi book, you can look it up online. Imagine if Disney remodeled Tomorrowland to take place in the very future, with alien/Evolved Human Cast members (in prosthetics), organic architecture, and other futuristic elements. Maybe even post-Human Tomorrowland. I thought it would be an interesting (and weird) idea

My true soul sibling. I started designing lands for Disney at 7, submitted some at 8, started reimagineering parks at 9, and I still redesign the MK Parks and invent my own parks.

I love the solar punk vibe and the plants, everything about this was so perfect- Disney needs to hire you as an imagineer and they need to do what you say! They seem to have lost the original vision of the future in Tomorrowland

Wow I love your ideas! Especially the solar punk white and blue retro aesthetic for the theme because it’s what I was thinking as well. Now I really feel like making a bunch of concept art of my own version of Tomorrowland. Hopefully one day we have a super cool updated Tomorrowland. 😊💙✨

Dallin wants to turn Tomorrowland into an Empire of the Sun album and I'm all here for it!

I would turn Starcade (both levels) and the Magic Eye Theatre space into an actual "House Of The Future" (looking like a house, not what Innoventions was) modeled after WandaVision and Westview. Part interactive mystery/adventure, part genuine showcase of things to come.

As soon as I heard “solarpunk” I was absolutely 100% in. This idea is great!

Starcade was my favorite place in Disney back when I was a kid in the 80s. So...I'd bring it back. Because back when it was there, they had the MOST advanced arcade games that we couldn't find in our standard arcades.

I absolutely love this, like halfway between Animal Kingdom and old Future World as a theme.

The most special moment I had in Disney was seeing the fireworks launch while peacefully riding in the people mover. Simply spectacular

I prefer Disneyland Paris discoveryland (its Tomorrowland), with its timeless Jules Vernes architecture. I always envisioned Autopia with a Wall-E theming (from the after credits). Also I agree that they can steal some SciFi stuff from Epcot. We have PhillarMagic in this area, I would prefer a more fitting show (I imagine an interactive inside out show where you choose how the person should react in a situation and the story plays differently)

I have been saying for YEARS that Tomorrowland needs to showcase the green future, bravo Offhand

100% agree with your new Tomorrowland. As far as what to put in Starcade, maybe a “discovery zone” for the younger kids or a cool interactive walkthrough involving the sustainability of food and protecting the environment?

I love the solar punk theme, especially since the vegetation in Tomorrowland currently is all edible fruit trees and other sustainable plants, due to Walt wanting all of the plants in Tomorrowland to be of consumption 👏🏻☺️

Love your video and ideas! Shoutout to Sulli's comment about Wall-E also because that would fit sooooo well with the theme of the land!

I really like the solar punk idea. For the starcade, it would be cool if it had an updated (and updateable) VR playground. Almost treat it like the old Disney quest, where there are a bunch of mini rides, all through VR, so that you could spend a couple hours in there and feel like you did even more rides than you did in your whole day in the park.

some nice Offhand content for a nice Saturday :)

I think they should've kept with the steampunk theme. It's not futuristic but it doesn't need to be, it allowed the area to be stylized and interesting without constantly having to push forward. Retro-futurism is charming, actual futurism is just strange, and it creates things like the epcot monorail station.

Great video man! I love every new idea you had 👌 I hope Disney watches your video and implements your ideas into Tomorrowland.

I really love all of this! I'm a huge fan of steampunk, solarpunk stuff so I can see this! It really harkens back to those older, future vibes of Walts vision and also giving it all the needed future vibes, while being good for the planet, which in turn is actively making a better future for everyone! This was so well thought out and amazing. Great job!

Solarpunk Tomorrowland is a galaxy-brain level idea!

Disney needs to hire you immediately. current Disneyland Tomorrowland is a travesty. your Solarpunk vision sounds fantastical

Well done! I love the idea of the Big Hero Six ride, and Light Speed harkening back to Inner Space. I'm guessing you need to keep the store, but maybe Starcade can become something like Epcot's old Club Cool? Tasting drinks from around the world is something everyone loves ... and yes, Beverly would need to make an appearance.

People mover is a great overview of Tomorrowland. It's especially a great intro for people who have never been there before.b I was the first thing I did when I went to wdw, not just cause I missed it so much in Disneyland

I love your creative enthusiasm! With all the negative stuff going on with Disney parks and the company's management, it's good to know someone is still dreaming about the things that could be, even still. This was a great video and a breath of fresh air. Good job! 👍

Love this so much. My only contribution is to make the dark ride more like a hyperspace Horizons, and move Buzz or Hero to DCA. It feels weird to have a single cartoonish ride inside the best Tomorrowland concept ever. :-)

I’m so excited to watch this video I’ll be back to talk about it after I’m done . See you in the future

Couldn’t agree more with every single one of your ideas. Beautifully done.

Ninety percent in agreement with the improvements. Need some version of Autopia though, because, even if it's not "futuristic ", it's the Future for the children who drive it. My kids (and now grandchildren) loved it. Maybe a combination with the Autopia vehicles going through Tron like the buckets used to go through the Matterhorn?

If you want to keep cars, changing them to hydrogen fuel cells would be appropriate for the near future. You can make them guided drive as well, to prevent the usual banging around when you have a child driving. The FCVs would fit in CA, since they’re available primarily in CA in the US & not a lot of people have been exposed to them. I know it would improve my odds of traveling to visit Disneyland.

What an amazing idea for the land. I'm sold!!

My guy nobody will complain at you about the Tron you are literally a genius

Thank you so much for making this. I deeply appreciate that you don't start from the common false premise that an aspirational Tomorrowland of the Future cannot work, but instead seek ways to show that it does. I think you succeeded. This would be a marvelous update to the land.

I don’t even go to Disney, but I like these videos.

ive never got to ride the people mover, it was rocket rods when i was a little kid 😭 id love to see it back at Disneyland! also you’re my fave channel. ok bye 💓

BRILLIANT! I think the People Mover would be great as a “grand circle tour” of the land highlighting attractions. A dark ride water ride is a great idea, I mean, look how well Pirates and Small World work! 😎

I'd love to see you a CEO it would be Interesting how you would handle Disney

i looove your tomorrowland videos! 10/10

Great fun ideas! Thanks for the episode! I do think it needs to be multi level to maximize the space. Imagining multiple ways to go up and down multiple stories in the land is very exciting! This really isn’t done anywhere in Anaheim as of now.

First off, cool job. Really enjoyed hearing your ideas, and yes, the PM must make a return. The one advantage the DL PM had over the MK version was elevation changes. Now I know that was because the two rides had different propulsion systems, so I wonder if the magnetic drive system could be made in such a way as to provide elevation variances. That would be an advancement on the ride’s tech and fit in with TL idea of progress. Plus it adds an element of thrill that makes the PM just that much more of an exciting ride. Just a thought…

I sure hope Disneyland is seeing your amazing ideas.

The title should be, “My 6 billion dollar Tomorrowland re-theme.

Solar punk is such a cool idea for a tomorrowland theme.

If it was up to me I'd include some sort of Jules Verne attraction. Maybe a walk thru like Paris has or maybe a new story that hasn't had an attraction yet like a new retelling of From the Earth to the Moon.

Great video, would be a perfect Disneyland Tomorrow Land!

Yay Dallin! Pioneer. Postulator of patently popular, people-pleasing paradigms, and poignant, perspicaciously painted poly-morphic planagrams! Offhand-imagineer of the third kind! And all-around wielder of a friendly, soothing loquaciousness! Please do go on with your mission! In other words... let's do this!

I love it! Expecially the Big hero 6 ride!

Sounds like an awesome park! I think you forgot to mention reopening Star tours in galaxy’s edge though 😂

I definitely appreciate the idea of a smaller Tron Lightcycles run at Disneyland, but I’d be worried about creating similar confusion to what I went through when I went to ride the Indiana Jones ride at Disneyland Paris for the first time after growing up on California’s version.

All great ideas. I will say I love how Disney Land intertwines the monorail, people mover and autotopia tracks. You had a great shot at the end of this piece that showcased it. I do think the speedways in both DW and DL need to go. I wish they would give both tomorrow lands a more timeless feel.

This sounds wonderful! Maybe put some vr technology where starcade is?

Lagoon/autopia is perfect for a Living with the Land type ride, showcasing different ways to grow food sustainably and futuristically.

Love it all, would love to see a vid on DCA. Some areas of that park need lots of help

VR Starcade would fit in great. I like your vision.

A Pimm Labratories Adventure through Quantum Space would be awesome.

Love absolutely all of this, and it honestly makes me want to get into concept art purely to whip all these ideas up, LOL. As much as I love the idea for a fun Tomorrowland Lagoon, I still 100% stand by that the space from both that and Autopia should be sacrificed to FanLand for an expansion, a la MK (or rather, whatever France and Tokyo have going on). If anything, it could play into the whole idea of TL anyway: living together and with the land instead of spreading out and destroying it. Win-win!

Good idea for space station X2, but I would call it Space Station X1. You could have Space Mt. , Rocket to the Moon, Mission to Mars fly bye while you eat. If you want take out the lagoon you have to rip out Autoputa as the cars are driving on the roof of the sub dark ride building.

I agree with 100% of everything you said. I want it all! I agree with you, the only right way to fix Tomorrowland is to raze it. That’s a hard pill to swallow, but it’s true.

I really like this video concept of fixing a land I hope you do one for Frontierland next.

disney NEEDS you, dallin

I'm soo late on commenting and perhaps it will be future generations that will see my post but here goes. Thank you for this insightful and well thought out reimagining of tomorrow land. In the 70s when I was a kid, I loved imagining how we would live in the future. Back then everything was brand new, highways, Disney World and shopping malls. Then came the microwave wow, we are living in the future. I did a model of a modern house of the future and as an 7 year old, i modeled what I could find to use. I remember taking a sponge painting it white and sticking furniture tac's into the side and then took yarn and weaved a pattern around each tac. In my presentation I called this a machine that made our clothes. As we see on the jetsons for example anything can be giving a ridiculous futuristic spin. I never had the opportunity to visit the Monsanto house of the future, but I would imagine that it too had futuristic fluffery on display. This is what I wish they would bring back. An ohmage to what we thought could be and what we thought was already in development. I love floor plans and models and i can spend hours looking at the detail. I've seen in pictures the models they build for new parks, why couldn't we make one that is interactive, futuristic (perhaps modeled after Tomorow land itself), and incorporate 50 visitor workstations so that each programed action would not interfere with someone else's. I'm talking more than just a locomotive layout, perhaps building lighting a fog machine that blows air current through the wind turbines and How cool would that be, retractable roofs, rockets blast off and so on. This leads back to the idea of hands on, which after working in a children's museum I would not recommend only if the kids only had access to buttons and not the models themselves.

The big hero six idea is the best thing I’ve ever heard

I like these ideas! I think I'd keep Buzz Lightyear in there one way or another - maybe with some sort of refresh for the Lightyear movie. We see some kind of hyperspeed travel in the trailer, so that could tie into some of it.

I love the idea!!! Disneyland´s Tomorrowland need a HUGH OVERHAUL!!! ithink if in Tomorrowland can add some... xenomorphs like H.R. Giger´s "ALIEN encounter" or somekind. Greetings from Mexico City

People mover looked so cool winding through autopia and the monorail

In response to the Big Hero 6 ride, I do have a thought! In my quest through theme park KZfaq I’ve seen a How to Train Your Dragon ride at Motiongate in Dubai. That’s a suspended ride that has some fast moments near the end. Ignoring the whole… screens and screens stuff, I feel like that would be a really good comparison model for tone and the thrills.

only 7 minutes in and ... I love the ideas, already

What would REALLY tie all of this together (other than a rug) is if you developed a storyline to encompass ALL the attractions that you mentioned so that the land feels more cohesive. Maybe it is a future member of the Society of Explorers and Adventurers, and all of the ride are different planets or encounters they faced on their journey. It needs a slight push from our journey into the future and take more of a fantasy/whimsical vision of the future that is rooted in reality...slightly. Well done

Glad to have worked with Heap Big Names at the park in the 80s. Efforts were made, and along came Eisner. Good luck, kid.

Bravo. I like it. I would suggest a virtual reality dark ride of some kind. Since that is a future tech right now. Maybe flying car or jet pack simulator attraction. And a ride that would take you via a ramjet or scramjet to the edge of space and allow you a brief visit to another Disney property's gift shop before returning to Disneyland. Or a Star Trek style transporter that by your choice send you to “Disney World” or “Disney Shanghai” etc.

Ever thought about making the perfect EPCOT? Right now it's a perfect land-based booze cruise !

Well done! I'm sure Walt would approve!
