Roof Removed From 1994 Spaceship Tower at Magic Kingdom’s Tomorrowland Entrance

The dismantling continues as a step in a staged Tomorrowland refresh with no public word from Disney on replacement plans for the cleared entrance spaces.

Overview

  • Observers and park reporters confirmed on June 10 that the domed roof was removed from a large rocket-style tower at the Tomorrowland entrance in the Cinderella Castle hub.
  • This is the third of the 1994 spaceship-style towers to be taken down in recent weeks after green scrim was installed around each feature before removal.
  • The tower’s metal supports and rings remain in place and show visible rust and weathering, suggesting age and maintenance needs are a factor in the removals.
  • A May permitting filing that named a demolition contractor and the repeated use of scrim indicate the activity is planned construction work rather than isolated incidents.
  • The removals build on a multi-year Tomorrowland revision that began around 2018 with projects such as TRON Lightcycle/Run and attraction updates, and Disney has not said whether new themed elements will replace the cleared structures.
