Bright, colorful, and really well done! This attraction poster (of sorts) for Tomorrowland '98 at Disneyland was everything the actual land was not. Sure, there was Rocket Rods, a pretty thrilling attraction made dull because the money folks and Disneyland leadership under Cynthia Harriss (a pal of Paul Pressler, another Disney executive mistake), wouldn't fund the needed banked turns for the ride, leading to its early demise. (I got exactly one ride on it.) Being hamstrung by limited finances, Imagineering's Tony Baxter did the best he could. But he was stuck with existing buildings and derailed (read expensive) plans that never got approval. Anyway... the above poster by Larry Moore is quite nice! A beautiful reminder of a disaster of a Tomorrowland design that now exists in bits and pieces.
