| Tomorrowland
was the only land of the original park not ready on opening day in 1971. Over the course
of 1972, rides open sporadically, culminating in the crowning achievement, Space Mountain.
The thrill ride premiered in 1975 to become one of the most beloved attractions in the
whole of Disney.
A look into the future of the planet, Tomorrowland gives an Disney view of technology,
home life, games and entertainment for the coming millennium.
In 1995, they updated most of the rides and added "The Timekeeper," originally
designed for Disneyland Paris, and "Alien Encounter," a scarier-than-normal
Magic Kingdom attraction. They also changed the look of Tomorrowland somewhat by adding
huge orbiting planets, moons and stars to the entrance, and sprucing up the attractions
with a newer "futuristic" feel.
