All new track and structure, but the original ride layout. New cars with better sounds systems too. Won't be open until 2005 at least. The theming will be changed to be more futuristic, with perhaps new effects inside the ride, but apparently there was also an internal bid to re-theme Space mountain as 70s-retro. Would have been cool if they had pulled that off. They'll be bringing the Submarine Voyage back until it's completed, but until I don't think there's much of a reason to even visit Tomorrowland.
