News Big changes coming to EPCOT's Future World?

[MisterPenguin]

Don't be too sure. It's blue sky art, remember. Right now it's likely at least half will remain. Sadly that's half less than what should be staying, but that's the kids of today in charge for you.

Are you saying we're not getting a dolphin pool and a redirected aurora borealis, too?

Concept art, thy name is perfidy!!

I know. Shocking huh?

The Aurora Borealis? In this part of the country? Localized entirely within Future World?

You would think by looking at the concept art.

That's easily one of my favorite Simpsons references.

For those who haven't seen it...

Would that be a west/east half or a north/south half?

North south.

Well it's already localized entirely within Animal Kingdom.

We are getting floating triangles though, right?

Epcot 35 Pins from Love is an Adventure pin event at Epcot.

The closed pin on the right is one for The Living Seas

Why is the Wonders of Life logo always red? Is that what it officially was?? I always thought of it as yellow....

I'd figure it to be orange like the building is. Red isn't too bad though.

The last Epcot project that involved floating triangles was such a success, right?

It was a golden colour. Marketing have never got it right.

You aren't kidding. They couldn't even get it right for the 15th anniversary pin, when the pavilion was alive.

According to the MDE app Soarin currently has a 10 minute wait and TT has a 30 minute wait. Everything else looks to be a walk on. Are crowds already dropping from the summer months? IMO it just shows how stale Future World has become.

This is traditionally one of the lower-attended weeks of the year. Did you compare times to other parks or just look at FW?

Yep. And now it makes sense why they'd start Food and Wine this week.

And because everyone loves to compare the two, Universal also had lower wait times today.

MK looks about as busy as normal (2hr for 7D, 1hr for SM, 30 for HM). HS seems to be normal as well with about an hour for TOT, RNRC, and TSMM. AK not very busy outside of Pandora, but that seems to be the norm. Just thought it was interesting that at 6pm on a summer day (or so I thought) FW has basically no waits.

By this time of day of the festival, they're all too drunk to ride.
