Another space-themed tower from Tomorrowland's 1994 makeover is currently being demolished at Magic Kingdom, continuing the gradual removal of elements from that era's redesign. The larger tower next to Cosmic Ray's Starlight Café is being taken down, with its top dome now covered in beige scrim and key structural elements already removed.
Which Tomorrowland towers are being demolished?
Two space-themed towers near the Tomorrowland entrance have already been completely demolished, with green tarps now covering the area where one tower previously stood near Tomorrowland Terrace. The rocks around the base of these demolished towers have also been removed.
The larger tower next to Cosmic Ray's is currently being taken down, with its distinctive dome, spire and small cones on metal cylinders appearing to be completely gone. The beige scrim covering the remaining structure suggests the demolition work is ongoing.
When will the Tomorrowland tower demolition be completed?
Disney has not confirmed an exact timeline for completing the tower demolition work. A permit was filed last month for the Tomorrowland bridge involving a demolition company, though specific completion dates remain unconfirmed.
It's also unclear whether all remaining towers from the 1994 makeover will eventually be removed as part of this project.
What impact will guests see in Tomorrowland?
Park guests visiting Tomorrowland will see construction scrims around the ongoing demolition work and notice the altered theming where towers have already been removed. The visual changes are most apparent near the Tomorrowland entrance and around Cosmic Ray's Starlight Café.
However, the entrance rocks from the 1994 update have recently been repainted and are staying in place, suggesting Disney is selectively removing rather than completely erasing all elements from that makeover.
What other 1994 Tomorrowland elements have been removed?
The space-themed towers demolition continues a pattern of gradually removing elements from the 1994 makeover that began several years ago. The Robo-Newz and GCN phone booth were removed in 2019, whilst the spaceship facade from Monsters Inc. Laugh Floor was taken down in 2018.
Disney also replaced the Tomorrowland entrance archway with a sleeker design in 2019, though some original elements like the painted entrance rocks have been retained and maintained.
