Mural Wars!

WDWNT Author on May 24, 2008

The next article dealing with the New Tomorrowland of 1998 is going to be about the mural on the American Space Experience/Rocket Rods queue building. Let’s get to it:


Here’s the original mural that called this building home, one of the lovely works of Mary Blair


A look at the removal of the Mary Blair mural


And this is the 1998 mural, which surprisingly or not is my favorite!


The inscription bellow the mural reads: “BEYOND THE GREATEST STAR OF ALL LIES OUR FUTURE”


In preparation for Buzz Lightyear’s Astro Blasters in 2005, the mural was once again changed

I advise everyone to check out Yesterland‘s articles on both the 1998 Tomorrowland Mural, & the Mary Blair Murals. We won’t have an article on the New Tomorrowland tomorrow, but we will have this week’s podcast with tons of audio from the re-do. We’ll be back on Memorial Day with a look at Honey, I Shrunk the Audience!

Celebrating 40 Years of Nasa (or something like that)!

The next article dealing with the New Tomorrowland of 1998 is going to be about the American Space Experience. Again, this article will be a pictorial article, as Yesterland has a wonderful article up dealing with the history of this exhibit!

There’s not much to be said or shown about the American Space Experience, but there still are a few pictures to share! Let’s get to it:


The exhibit’s marque


A look at a few of the exhibits in the “experience”


The American Space Experience is now the Fastpass Distribution area for Buzz Lightyear’s Astro Blasters

And surprisingly or not, that’s all for this pictorial! Tomorrow, a look at the 1998 mural that was above the entrance to the American Space Experience!
