Giant Gears Disappear from Tomorrowland Light & Power Co. as 1994 ‘New Tomorrowland’ Elements Continue to be Removed

More of the design elements from the 1994 reimagining of Tomorrowland, called “New Tomorrowland,” are disappearing to make way for the future. The last casualty is the giant gears that have now been removed from the façade of Tomorrowland Light & Power Co.

Though Tomorrowland Light & Power Co. didn’t open until 1995, it was designed to fit in with the “New Tomorrowland” aesthetic that took over the year prior. The similarly styled gear pavement was removed last year, as well as other thematic elements from around the PeopleMover track.
