I loved Predator when I first rode it - I think it was in 95, but the last time 2001 - was brutal. Hopefully they can give this ride some love and make it better....

The Matterhorn was listed as part of Tomorrowland for years in guides and ticket books. I was never clear on "why."

Continuing on with Disneyland month here at the Paradise, here's a look at the grand re-opening of Tomorrowland back in 1998 featuring the Astro Orbiter. We'll conclude Disneyland month next week with an extensive retro look back at Tomorrowland. See ya in the future!

- Tomorrowland circa 1998 when some of you weren't born yet. Future retro. That really boggles the mind!

The most interesting thing about that Disneyland postcard in not the Astro Orbiter...it is the picture featuring Rocket Rods!

It's about Walygator Parc at the time it opened! I think...
Is that right?
I'll check on rcdb...

Some people are like slinkies. They aren't really good for much but still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.

^^^ I really didn't even notice Rocket Rods was on that Tomorrowland card til you pointed it out Shane. Wish I'd experienced them.
^^Epic postcards! I had no idea that Walygator had formerly been a different park. From your Attic thread, it looks like it had a good bit of potential when it was Big Bang Smurf, but it felt so lifeless during the TPR Europe trip 2 years ago. It'll be interesting to see what Orochi does for it.

It's time to conclude the Disney month series here at the Paradise - sorry Hot Fuzz...I know you're sad. Have no fear, there'll probably be another one in the future! To conclude, here's a retro look back at the Tomorrowland section of Disneyland.
