Finally we've arrived at the last of the seven lands
in the Magic Kingdom - Tomorrowland. It's cartoon like space age
appearance will certainly appeal to the kids and this area also offers some very original
shops.

Buzz Lightyears Space Ranger Spin. This is another 'must do' for the kids. You join the Toy Story characters to do battle against the evil Emperor Zurg and his Robot army. The children love it because you actually get to shoot the enemy with laser-cannons and keep score. Great fun for everyone. It's a good idea to use FASTPASS here as the queue is usually very long. Astro Orbiter is another fairground type ride, this time in rockets. The ride is impressive in it's appearance but is simply another spinning ride. The queues here do get large and move slowly. ExtraTERRORestrial Alien Encounter. This is a very
scary show and is not for young children or those easily frightened. The story is set
around a 'Teleportation' demonstration which goes disastrously wrong and brings an Alien
into the middle of the audience. Tomorrowland Transit Authority is a slower paced
car ride giving a good elevated view of the surrounding area and also a glimpse inside
Space Mountain whilst the commentary tells you about some of the history of Tomorrowland.
The cars operate on linear induction motors which are 'environmentally friendly' and part
of Disney's vision of the future. The Timekeeper.(This attraction is currently due to stay open until the end of July 2002 and could possibly close again after that date.) This is a 360 degree film show hosted by a robot Timekeeper (voice of Robin Williams) who guides his assistant 'Nine eye' through time. The film is very impressive and you will enjoy the show as you see what 'Nine eye' sees on his travels. Tomorrowland Indy Speedway is a chance for the kids
to drive their own race car around a winding track. A bit too slow and controlled for
bigger kids.
