Tomorrowland bridge sign at Magic Kingdom getting a makeover, report states

UPDATE: The sign has been taken down.

The gateway sign to Tomorrowland from the hub in the Magic Kingdom will be replaced with a new look, WDWMAGIC.com is reporting.

The large sign over the bridge will be removed and rebuilt, the website is reporting. The bridge will remain open while work takes place on the sign.

Tomorrowland has been getting a bit of an updated look with a white, orange and teal paint job during the past year.

All the changes are taking place as the Magic Kingdom’s 50th-anniversary approaches in 2021 and the opening of the new Tron ride in Tomorrowland.

Tomorrowland in Walt Disney World Magic Kingdom has the look of futuristic cities imagined by sci-fi writers and movie-makers of the 1920s and 1930s – complete with attractions exploring space and time.  

The new entryway could again change the “vision” of Tomorrowland. When the land originally opened in 1971 it was designed to look at the “real” future, according to Disney.

Twenty-five years later the land was designed to showcase a “fantasy” world where robots do the work, planet-hopping rocket ships battle space aliens. Now 25 years later, for the parks’ 50th anniversary, the vision might again change and the new entryway sign could reflect what is to come.           

In March, Disney CEO Bob Iger, when asked about Tomorrowland specifically said, “We’ve been working with the Imagineers to consider a number of different concepts for Tomorrowland. They’ve got some great plans that we’ve recently reviewed but nothing that we’re ready to announce at this point. Expect in the years ahead to be a lot of Tomorrowland activity. A lot of Tomorrowland activity, tomorrow.”
