Greetings, fellow Armchair Imagineers! Welcome to the latest edition of the Gemini Series. This time, I will be covering my ideas for Epcot. Before I delve into the meat of this edition, I would like to let you know that I changed the park's name back to EPCOT Center. Along with this change is a switch back to the original 1982 focus: to entertain, to inform, and to inspire. So without further ado, here is EPCOT Center.



To all who come to this place of joy, hope, and friendship: welcome! EPCOT is inspired by Walt Disney's creative vision. Here human achievements are celebrated through imagination, wonders of enterprise, and concepts of a future the promises new and exciting benefits for all. May EPCOT Center entertain, inform, and inspire, and, above all, may it instill a new sense of belief and pride in man's ability to shape a future that offers hope to people everywhere in the world.

All the changes start right when you first enter EPCOT Center. The entrance area loop has been changed to a medley of John Williams-esque renditions of songs heard throughout the park like "Tomorrow's Child," "One Little Spark," "The Universe of Energy," and "Golden Dreams." From the last time you visited the park, you seem to think something is also different, but you can't put your mind on exactly what it is. Oh yeah; the Leave a Legacy "tombstones" have been removed in favor of the 1982 flowerbeds. In the central flowerbed is a display of topiaries depicting characters from a Disney film. I envision this to be the equivalent of the Emporium displays in Magic Kingdom Park. Also present is the large crystal sculpture in front of Spaceship Earth that has been gone since the start of the Millennium Celebration in 1999. For its revival, it's also joined by similar sculptures depicting the iconography of all the Future World pavilions.

The first pavilion we visit is the Verizon-sponsored Spaceship Earth. Gone is the God-awful Judy Dench narration.

Designer's Note: Don't get me wrong; Judy Dench is a great actress. She was awesome in Skyfall. It's just that her narration of Spaceship Earth is quite far from her best work.

A new narration takes elements from all four previous versions of the attraction and puts them into one script. The finale will be a hybrid of the first three versions and the current touch-screen video version. After the main bulk of the ride is through, we enter the top of the geosphere as "Tomorrow's Child" begins to play. The main theme of the finale reverts back to the "how the world has shrunk" finale from 1994. The descent down will be much better now that the touchscreens are gone. After unloading, we come across a new version of Earth Station, where one can preview the park ahead, make dining reservations, or discover the latest innovations in communications. Games and activities include an illuminated globe featuring an ever-changing collage of inspirational images of tomorrow, Power City, a large, digital shuffleboard-style game that has you racing around the board to power a bustling metropolis, and The EPCOT Center Universal Library, where guests can catch a glimpse of every book, film, television program, song, and video game* ever made, seeing how they all have helped to unite our world through communication and cooperation.

Exiting Earth Station, you enter Starlight Plaza, gateway to CommuniCore, presented in part by Siemens. Short for “Community Core,” CommuniCore is the part of EPCOT Center in which all of its themes are brought together under one roof: communication, energy, technology, progress, transportation, imagination, agriculture, meteorology, and marine sciences. As you walk through Starlight Plaza, you begin to notice that the ponds and canals from the Classic Era (1982-1994) have returned to bring CommuniCore and Starlight Plaza back to their former glory. In the center of Starlight Plaza lies a fountain that exemplifies EPCOT Center's main message: The Fountain of Nations. Dedicated by Lillian Disney, this magnificent fountain contains water from 19 rivers, lakes, and oceans around the world, representing all 19 nations in the World Showcase. This was done to build the fountain’s foundation as a meeting place for all the world’s people.

The two sides of CommuniCore, East and West, contain exhibits by many of Disney’s corporate partners. Nintendo, who also sponsors the Japanese pavilion in the World Showcase, hosts The Game Grid, an exciting adventure into the history of video games and what awaits in the industry’s near and distant future. The Sum of All Thrills, presented by Raytheon, explains how math and science are used to build roller coasters and other theme park attractions. Nearby are The Walt Disney Imagineering Labs, where park guests can preview Disney attractions being built around the world. Time Magazine presents The Electronic Forum, where you can voice your opinion on current events, vote for the “Person of the Year,” or pick up the latest issue of Time. Hasbro presents an exhibit inspired by the books of Mary Pope Osborne: The Magic Treehouse Tour. Located in CommuniCore West near the Journey Into Imagination pavilion, this attractions features the Dreamfinder’s lovable creation, Figment, taking Magic Treehouse characters Jack and Annie on various adventures around the world and through time to demonstrate the potential of the human mind and what it can do with just one little spark of imagination. In CommuniCore East is The Energy Exchange. Guests can take a look at tomorrow’s energy options and generate their own energetic opinions at this exhibit*. Kitty corner to The Energy Exchange is Apple’s Information Superhighway. Trace the origins of Apple Computer back to 1976 as you discover how the company's products have changed the social and technological worlds forever. Blu-Ray presents The Ultimate Home Theatre Experience, introducing new technologies to improve entertainment systems in homes across America and around the world. Visa’s TravelPort lets visitors “dial-in” their travel interests and other itinerary requirements and watch an “instant preview” of their upcoming vacation. At Toys of Tomorrow, presented by LEGO, “Minifigures” give you a first look at what the LEGO Company has in store for the near and distant future. Ford, who also sponsors the Test Track pavilion, hosts The Assembly Experience, in which guests are transported to the floor of a vast automotive assembly plant to learn how automobiles are designed and manufactured. One World; One Sky, presented by General Electric, feature original Disney characters Astronaut Al and Luna the Moon in an out-of-this-world to discover what it truly means to reach for the stars. Presented by Google, Frontiers in Medicine follows the evolution of medicine from the medicine chests of prehistoric times to the vaccinations of today. These are only just a few of the marvelous wonders you’ll find in CommuniCore.

Also in CommuniCore are Ice Station Cool, where you can try sodas from every corner of the world with Coke Freestyle machines, CommuniStore, EPCOT Center’s primary gift shop, and The Starlight Plaza Restaurant, serving breakfast omelettes, pancakes, Mickey waffles, French toast hamburgers, hot dogs, pizza, and salads. For a quick pick-me-up or to satisfy your sweet tooth, The Fountainview Café offers pastries, desserts, and Starbucks coffee.

* I'm having trouble thinking of a new sponsor for this exhibit and UoE other than Exxon or Mobil.

I think "Starlight Plaza" is already the name of something in a DreamWorks movie, and I'm not so sure I like the idea of Figment meshing with non-Disney IP. Other than that I like what I see here.

You explore Future World East first. To your far left as you walk through CommuniCore East is The Universe of Energy. Now sponsored by (insert sponsor name here), this attraction once again gives each of its guests a lasting reminder of how we should use our energy wisely, not wastefully, just like it did in 1982. From the multimedia introduction to the breathtaking finale, The Universe of Energy explores the forces that fuel our lives and the universe itself. You’ll “ride on sunshine” as “traveling theatre cars” powered by a rooftop array of solar panels take you on an energy odyssey-from the Earth’s beginnings to the formation of fossil fuels to the energy alternatives of tomorrow. Along the way, discover a primeval forest complete with battling dinosaurs, earthquakes, and an erupting volcano. Then, travel onto the Energy Research Center, where current emerging energy sources are revealed on a Circle-Vision 360 screen. Finally, the “Universe of Energy” itself comes to life in an “electrifying” presentation on energy’s impact on today's society. Also featured are the two original songs "You Make the World Go 'Round" and "The Universe of Energy."

Designer's Note: As much as I like Ellen's Energy Adventure, I feel as if it has overstayed its welcome. Therefore, the only elements from this version left are Bruce Broughton's "Crisis Overture" and the updated Audio-Animatronics. Perhaps the new show could mention the impact wasteful energy use has on global warming.

Replacing The Wonders of Life is The Realm of Cyberspace. Presented by Apple, the entrance area for this pavilion has been drastically changed, as 1964 World's Fair-esque observation towers and a pond-like feature have been added since your last visit, when it was the Festival Center. The pavilion starts with Goofy About the Internet, a show similar to Goofy About Health, only this time, the cartoons are about how to be safe on the Internet, not how to exercise. In the Body Wars section of the pavilion is Enter the Grid. Using LPS technology similar to that of Pooh's Hunny Hunt, this attraction lets you enter the world of computers as you help TRON battle Sark and the Master Computer Program. Rounding out the pavilion is Computer Command, featuring Captain Buzzy Cortex in a humorous adventure through the bowels of the latest and greatest personal computer.

Designer's Note: For The Realm of Cyberspace, the now-gold dome would be painted white.

Gone is the god-awful Mission: SPACE (except for its song "Destiny;" I'll elaborate on that later) and in its place is New Horizons, presented by General Electric. Taking guests even further back than 1983's Jules Verne introduction, we start our journey in Ancient Egypt, where we see how the pyramids influenced architecture throughout the world. Then, its onto Ancient Greece, where the Spartans introduced innovative weapons and we discover how their lasting effect on the battlefield. Fast forward 1,000 years later to the era of Jules Verne and H.G. Wells, where fanciful inventions like the space cannon and the time machine captured the imaginations of millions of people. At the dawn of the 20th Century, a technological revolution starts to emerge as gadgets like the telephone, the television, and the personal computer become commonplace. Finally, in the distant future, we visit three very distinct habitats. Under the sea is Sea Castle, the newest and most exciting floating city in the Pacific. Thousands of miles above Sea Castle is Brava Centauri, the first colony on Mars with rewarding opportunities for Earth support vocations. Back on the Earth's surface, Mesa Verde is the most advanced desert reclamation complex in the western hemisphere. At the end of our adventure, we get to choose the ending. We can pick from a space flight to Brava Centauri, a submarine voyage to Sea Castle, or a Maglev train journey to Mesa Verde. The postshow, The Advanced Training Lab, invites guests to see what it would be like to live in one or more of the communities seen in the attraction. Every guest leaves with their sights strictly set on "New Horizons" for the future.

Designer's Note: The future scenes in this new version aren't like the 1950s-esque scenes from 1983, but more like the future seen in Back to the Future: Part II.

In Future World West, the first pavilion we encounter is the Journey Into Imagination pavilion, presented by Hasbro. Seeing that the pavilion's exterior has been resorted to its 1983 glory, you hope for the best. The star attraction's, Journey Into Imagination, original queue, including the Walter Peregoy mural, has been restored with the exit music from Honey, I Shrunk the Audience!. The ride vehicles have been repainted in many colors; one color per train. Once you board one of the cars, your Journey into Imagination begins. First, you meet Dreamfinder, a Santa Claus-like figure that travels the universe in search of new creations, and his latest creation, Figment (now voiced either by Nancy Cartwright or Tom Kenny). They then take you to the DreamPort, in which the clean the Idea Bag and recombine ideas to use later.

Designer's Note: We enter the DreamPort through the right side of the brain, the side of the brain that contains our imaginations. Dreamfinder explains this as we pass through.

Next is the realm of art, where famous paintings like the Mona Lisa, the Scream, and Starry Night come to life before your eyes. The literature section looks much like a library, but with the same wackiness of the art section. Instead of paintings, literary characters like Tom Sawyer, Ebeneezer Scrooge, and Willy Wonka come to life as Dreamfinder and Figment explain how literature is one of the most diverse forms of imagination.

Designer's Note: The literature section of this version of Journey Into Imagination resembles the Illusion section from Journey Into YOUR Imagination, in the sense that the scene resembles a library in an old mansion.

Next, the Broadway section has Figment getting ready for his stage debut on opening night. There is just a tiny bit of the curtain open in this scene, but open enough to see that the audience is filled with Disney characters dressed to the nines; white tie and evening gowns. After that entertaining performance, we see Dreamfinder as a mad scientist performing a very deadly scientific experiment. Every few riders get to experience a pyrotechnic effect, representing and explosion in his lab. In the conclusion, we see Figment situated in a movie theatre seat as Circle-Vision 360 screens depict the lovable dragon as a pirate, a cowboy, a football player, an astronaut, a superhero, a tap dancer, a chef, a firefighter, and a knight while we discover that "One Little Spark" dwells inside each of us. On the second floor, in the glass pyramids, is ImageWorks: The "What If?" Zone. Exhibits features in this "Creative Playground of the Future" include Dreamfinder's School of Drama. Using a green-screen, guests put themselves into a movie under the direction of Dreamfinder. Inspired by three Hasbro games and toys, choices are a western (The Legend of Buckaroo), a mystery film (Clue: The Case of Mystery Manor), or a science fiction film (Mission to Marshed Potato). The Pin Screens are massive pin tables. At Stepping Tones, guests create music from stepping on picture panels depicting animals, instruments, and whatnot. Create A Figment lets guests mix and match different body parts to create their own, one-of-a-kind Figment of their imagination. The Rainbow Corridor is a large tunnel that features colored lights that follow the guests as they go through, each guest getting a different color. Mickey's PhilharMagic is a sound booth in which guests choose ten out of hundreds of Disney songs to make a CD. Krazy Kaleidoscopes are very large kaleidoscopes that can be controlled by the guest. The Vibrating Mirrors are an effect that made the guests reflection warp like a funhouse mirror. The Hall of Imaginations is a museum of creations from the greatest imaginations of all time. Thomas Edison is represented by the lightbulb, Henry Ford by the car, Walt Disney by Mickey Mouse, etc. The Wondercycles, recycled from The Wonders of Life, allow Guests to ride through worlds that were, that could be, and those of fantasy, and reality. Going down the escalator in the back of the area, you enter the Magic Eye Theatre, home of Captain EO. The only changes made here are adding the "True Colors" preshow from Honey, I Shrunk the Audience! and updating the actual film to Disney Digital 3D with the 1986 and 2010 special effects combined.

Next door is The Land. Presented by Kellogg's, this pavilion hosts three attractions. First is Living with the Land, where guests can "set sail for tomorrow's harvest." We start this voyage with the "Symphony of the Seed," in which we examine the life of a rose, from seed to wilting. Then, its onto three habitats. The rainforest proves to be filled with rich nutrients for its colorful residents. Next is the Arctic, where just searching for food is a matter of life or death for the polar bear. On the American farm, we see that it is one of the best representations of the relationship between humans and nature. The farm's barn serves as a transition to the greenhouses as agricultural techniques from around the world are displayed on several movie screens. The greenhouses remain the same, but the finale remixes the current instrumental music with 1982's "Listen to the Land" song, now called "Living with the Land." The long-rumored Soarin' Over the World is here as we fly over such locations as New York, the Great Pyramids of Egypt, the Taj Mahal, Paris, and Magic Kingdom Park. The version of the attraction here is themed to a barn, similar to that of the transition from dark ride to greenhouse in Living with the Land. The new on-screen games are "Spot the Country" (find the country in a world map), "Pest Patrol" (kill pest with bug spray guns in this interactive TSMM-style game), and "Cash Cows" (answer trivia questions about agricultural economics). The pre-show is reshot to have our chief flight attendant go through the usual safety spiel after he or she explains that "The locations we'll be flying over will disappear off the map if we keep polluting the Earth at today's rate." The attraction's main show building is turned 90 degrees in my dream EPCOT Center so it doesn't intrude on any vistas in World Showcase. The final attraction in The Land is Kitchen Kabaret, in the former location of The Circle of Life. Using elements from Food Rocks!, this version of the show uses a parody of "Hey Jude" called "Hey Food" as its introduction instead of "Mealtime Blues."

Between The Land and The Mysterious Seas is The Wonders of Weather, presented by State Farm. Its entrance designed to look like a tornado or a hurricane, this pavilion is most comparable to The Land; an E-Ticket, an animatronic show, any other type of attraction, a gift shop, and a central cafeteria. The main draw here is StormRider. Although this isn't a carbon copy of the one in Tokyo DisneySea, it's pretty close. The only difference is the backstory, as you enter the Center for Weather Control as they prepare to research a hurricane headed right for Walt Disney World. Next is Great Moments with the Seasons. This Kitchen Kabaret-like revue combines the four seasons with the magic of Broadway in a show sure to put a smile on your face. The final attraction is one similar to Jumping Jellyfish at Disney's California Adventure and Tokyo DisneySea. Called Cloud 9, the board a cloud as you bounce up and down as General Condensation teaches you about his namesake. The gift shop here is Skywatcher Souvenirs while the food court is The WeatherWorks Cafeteria.

The final pavilion in Future World is The Mysterious Seas, presented by National Geographic. Replacing The Seas with Nemo & Friends, this version of the pavilion is largely based on the "hybrid" version that briefly existed in 1980, combining the dark ride from the 1978 Poseidon plans with the SeaBase Alpha aesthetics from 1986. Your journey under the sea begins with a preshow narrated by Judy Dench, after which a SeaBase Scientist (Cast Member) directs you to the SeaCabs. You then go on the fanciful dark ride from the 1978 plans, minus Poseidon (more on him later). At the end of the ride is a finale featuring "In the Big Blue World." Yes, it's the same melody from Nemo, but the lyrics are changed and the tempo is slower to make the song much more serious and on par with the other "RetroCOT" songs. When the ride is done, you can visit SeaBase Alpha. On the Lower Level are Ocean Ecosystems, Undersea Exploration, Earth Systems, Marine Mammals (viewing), and the Diver Lockout Chamber. On the Upper Level are Ocean Resources, Marine Mammals (research), the Underwater Viewing Module, and the VIP lounge for employees and members of National Geographic. The only element from Nemo left in the pavilion is Turtle Talk with Crush, which is themed to a lab in which a technology that makes marine life "talk" is being tested.

Well, I have a few questions:

1. Why call the Horizons post-show "The Advanced Training Lab"? To me, that name doesn't fit with the feel of the ride.
2. Why not just bring back the original Journey Into Imagination ride altogether?
3. Would the songs in "Great Moments with the Seasons" be original songs, or would they be pre-existing songs?
4. I'm curious--what would a "RetroCOT" version of "In the Big Blue World" sound like?

  2. I wanted a ride that had the nostalgia of the original version, but with 21st century technology for younger generations.
  3. I could probably start an open brainstorming thread for the show, and we can decide there.
  4. It would have a vibe similar to the music in this video from 0:15 to 1:01.

Well, since the Spaceship Earth post-show is once again Earth Station, I'd turn the "Project: Tomorrow" name over to the Horizons post-show.

On the main bridge towards World Showcase from Future World are the headquarters for Agent P's World Showcase Adventure. While the interactive game has already attracted the children's attention with its familiar faces, additional clips throughout the mission outline the culture and history behind each stop. This allows the experience to inform as well as entertain. World Showcase sees the addition of 8 pavilions and one replacement, making a total of 19 pavilions. Each pavilion gets a flagpole with its flag on it in Showcase Plaza, as well as in their individual pavilions. The two stores in Showcase Plaza are razed with both of their merchandise options going into one giant store called Disney Traders (currently the name of the store closer to Mexico). My goal in this half of EPCOT Center was to combine the experience you would have gotten at the 1964 New York World's Fair's international pavilions with the immersion for which Disney parks are known the world over.

agg39564SMALL.jpg


The first pavilion we come across in World Showcase as we walk the promenade is Mexico. The Grand Fiesta Tour starring the Three Caballeros becomes Las Tres Culturas de Mexico. Using the working title for El Rio del Tiempo, the attraction takes guests on a journey through the history of Mexico, from the era of the Aztec Empire to today. Gone are any and all references to The Three Caballeros, save three pinatas in their likeness in the Day of the Dead scene.

The first new pavilion we see in World Showcase is Australia. Situated between Mexico and Norway, the Circle-Vision 360 presentation The Land Down Under is housed inside a replica of the Sydney Opera House. The film features such locales as Uluru, the Great Barrier Reef, the Dingo Fence, the Gold Coast, and Sydney Harbor. The shops in the pavilion sell kangaroo skin goods, boomerangs, canteens, and typical Australian souvenirs. The table-service restaurant here is The Eight-Kilometer Creek, serving Australian cuisine with fantastic view of "Sydney Harbor" (World Showcase Lagoon). Not as upscale as The Eight-Kilometer Creek is The Bush Barbie (not to be confused with the popular restaurant chain), serving meat pies with an array of fillings.

Designer's Note: If anyone has been to the Tuck Shop in New York City, you know what I'm talking about.

Sydney_opera_house_side_view.jpg


Norway receives no changes, except for a major overhaul to Maelstrom and its postshow film. New and improved, this thrilling flume adventure is now the Pirates of the Caribbean of EPCOT Center, if you will. Featuring a song with the same spirit as "Yo-Ho (A Pirate's Life For Me)," you sail through a port sabotaged by Leif Eriksson instead of Captain Jack Sparrow. The attraction's canal will also be rerouted so it passes through Akershus, much like Pirates of the Caribbean does in The Blue Bayou at Disneyland Park. After the voyage, you have the option of staying for a recently updated short film on the people and folklore of Norway. The film shows how Norway's people have stayed true to their heritage in good times and bad.

Designers' Note: I wrote this long before Frozen even came out. If the rumors are true, then the Frozen attraction that we will see in 2016 will detract from the pavilion's atmosphere. Have no fear, for I plan to have a Frozen attraction in Fantasyland at Magic Kingdom Park, where it thematically belongs.

China sees the addition of the Great Wall, similar to the flats seen in Mickey's Toontown at Disneyland Park. But unlike those flats, this one will be built in 3D. Also added are The Hong Kong Disneyland Gallery and The Shanghai Disneyland Gallery. These galleries display the best features of the two Chinese Disney resorts. Similar galleries are also in other pavilions whose countries have Disney resorts in them.

20090529_Great_Wall_8185.jpg


Across the service canal from China is the pavilion for the largest country in the world by area: Russia. Housed in a replica of the Red Square in Moscow, this is one of the most detailed pavilions in World Showcase. The main draw here is The Bells of Change. Hosted by Ivan and the Magic Pike, this technologically innovative attraction mixes film, live action, Audio-Animatronics, and special effects to take guests through the amazing history of Russia, from the rise of the Czars to the collapse of the Soviet Union. Think of it as The Hall of Presidents on steroids. The two shops in the pavilion, Stekla i Farfora and Shchedrye Podraki, sell glass products and Russian souvenirs respectively. Requiring 2 table service meals on the Disney Dining Plan, Vkusnye Naslazhdeniĭ serves up the best Russian cuisine in the Orlando area. The restaurant also provides views of Red Square.

Designer's Note: I had designed this version of the Russian pavilion before Mr. Putin's questionable escapades in Ukraine.

Moscow_-_Entrance_of_Red_Square.jpg


Up next is Greece. Heavily influenced by the ancient architecture of Athens and Sparta, the pavilion's weenie are replicas of the Acropolis and the Parthenon. Guests who enter the Parthenon are treated to an attraction called The Olympian Epic. Using the same ride system as Peter Pan's Flight, the attraction takes guests on a journey through the stories of Greek mythology and the 12 Olympians. Also featured are characters from the Disney films Hercules and Atlantis: The Lost Empire, albeit in very minor cameos. The postshow, The Myths of Olympus, displays art and artifacts from the ancient era of Greek history. Meros Apo Synathorisi, the pavilion's main shop, is designed to look like a forum that may have been seen in an ancient Greek city. It sells Greek masks, carvings, pottery, stories on scrolls, cookbooks, magnets, and film. Bagoni Meros serves food from all seven regions of Greece, from gyros to gourmet pizza. Grigoros Pavo Bagoni offers a similar menu at a lower price.

Aww.. but I like Mission:SPACE! Can you put New Horizons somewhere else please? Or create a new Space pavilion like Disney wanted? Or rebuild it in Magic Kingdom?

I have to agre with you. Surely there must be a way to incorporate space into a pavilion here? When I did my renovation ideas for EPCOT Center, I brought back Horizons, but since computers were represented in CommuniCore, I had my weather pavilion replace Wonders of Life, and had my space pavilion be where ScorpionX's weather pavilion is.
