  Tomorrowland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tomorrowland is one of the "themed lands" at the many Magic Kingdom-style parks run by The Walt Disney Company around the world.
In 1998, Tomorrowland received a new paint scheme and some new attractions, but the overhaul was unpopular among many fans, and its flagship new attraction, Rocket Rods, closed in September 2000 due to frequent breakdowns.
Some classic Tomorrowland attractions which have closed in Disneyland still live on at the Magic Kingdom: the PeopleMover is here under the name of the Tomorrowland Transit Authority, and the Carousel of Progress was moved here from California.
