What appears to be a new Tomorrowland-inspired adventure kicked off nearly a month ago. Stop Plus Ultra. Like a new world order conspiracy, the rebel Stop Plus Ultra is focused on the Plus Ultra Society and how they 'abandoned' us for Tomorrowland:
It started with this video, which even caught the eye of screenwriter Jeff Jenson:


Very creepy. Especially with the Carousel of Progress music from the background. The clip appears to use clips and pictures from The Optimist.

Over a week ago, this video appeared, an 'interview' with a worker from the World's Fair:



This is the same story that we both heard about during The Optimist, and saw a clip of at Destination D, and in the recent Japanese Tomorrowland Trailer. With that video, there was a call to arms:

Now, this weekend, Stop Plus Ultra is going to rally. This tweet was given, with a detailed backstory on why we need to "#TakeBackTomorrow", including a mysterious comic, the same comic that the young boy read from our Before Tomorrowland preview:

The answer reaches all the way back to my first introduction to Plus Ultra, which many of you have written in to ask me about. When I was a kid, I found this comic book in an antique shop on a family trip to New York:

Even then, something about its cover called to me. I can’t explain it. Several of the pages were missing, but it included the fabled blue bamboo glasses. As the final page instructs: “The truth is all around you. The world of today is pointing you toward the world of Tomorrow. Follow the signs. Find the launching pad. Take the journey.”

I followed the signs. I solved the puzzle. I was filled with hope. With optimism. My curiosity was not rewarded.

That lead to this tweet:

This lines up with Wondercon this weekend at the Anaheim Convention Center. We'll be there live for the Rally tomorrow on Twitter (@TheTomorrowTime) so you can discover what this all about. Follow us, and we'll see where this mysterious Tomorrowland adventure leads.
