Tomorrowland (location)

**Tomorrowland** is a fictional location which is the setting of the *Tomorrowland* themed area in Disneyland and the Magic Kingdom. It has been the setting for certain Marvel attractions and has characters connecting to the Marvel Theme Park Universe.

## Description

Tomorrowland is a futurist settlement located in California, centred around progress. Tomorrowland was a space-port and melting-pot for various forms of alien and robotic life on Earth, even hosting the hub of the interstellar organization the *League of Planets*. Tomorrowland is ruled over by a robotic mayor, Professor Tom Morrow, along with the *Tomorrowland Chamber of Commerce* which consisted of six main businesses.

The extent of Tomorrowland's connection to the outside world is unknown, but it was connected to a railway and monorail system in addition to the *Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover* which was used for transit throughout Tomorrowland. All of Tomorrowland's transportation was overseen by the *Tomorrowland Transit Authority*, a prominent member of the Chamber of Commerce.

### Features

* **Space Mountain**: Space Mountain was a mountain-like space-station overseen by the League of Planets, used as a star-port for Tomorrowland. It used teleportation technology to transport rockets across the galaxy. Tomorrowland was known to have two main Space Mountains, *Space Station 77*/*TL Space Station 77* and *Starport Seven-Five/Tomorrowland Station MK-1*.
* **Tomorrowland Expo Center**: This was an expo building where Tomorrowland's government showed off different technologies and forms of progress. It had previously hosted Stark Industries, V.A.U.L.T., an Asgard exhibit hosted by Odin and curated by Dr. Jane Foster, and an exhibit on the history of Captain America.
* **Tomorrowland Interplanetary Convention Centre**: This building was used to give talks regarding Tomorrowland's space affairs, and alien populace.
