Inside Out at Epcot

[englanddg]

Why? Epcot literally has a place called "the imagination pavilion."

I certainly hope they don't do that though...it was a great movie, but Imagination deserves Dreamfinder and Figgy, not Pixar properties.

Wonders of Life however...it would fit perfectly! Plus it would add to park attraction capacity, which is sorely needed.

Interesting that they're at least having conversations. Hopefully it involves actually adding capacity (like restoring the Wonders of Life Building) rather than making over an existing attraction.

I'll get My hopes up if I hear rumors from budget offices, but not before then.

Until then, I wanna see the movie.

The fact EPCOT has a building like WOL, or even Imagination for that matter, gives it a big chance of having a new attraction.

A makeover of Imagination would not Add capacity is my point. Utilizing the WOL pavilion would.

Can't do simple makeovers/plussing/a new theme. Have to give people a new reason to come without destroying what little you currently have

Since the big open space in the Wonders of Life pavilion is so well suited to event use I doubt they are going to be willing to give that up easily.

I agree but they could easily just add much needed capacity by ultilizing WOL.

However, no one has any idea if this will get beyond the "would it be nice" stage...

Which is a shame. You could do so much in there. Like they used to...

Like Frozen! It's about the wonder of life because Elsa is able to bring snow to life (Marshmallow and Olaf)!

So, it fits, right!

(I kid, I kid...)

Yeah, I agree, I'm just going off current logic. You want a "new" Frozen attraction? Well we got a building for it in Norway! Cheaper and easier to repurpose than build. This could actually be realistic. There's a building all ready for it. Imagination I could see happening as it has screens I could see them just changing the films, ie: it's cheaper.

The good thing if it did happen is that you wouldn't have a shuttered building in EPCOT, which is inexcusable.

Well, if the movie is big enough, they might see the potential of using WoL again. It's not like they're starved of places to put the event stuff *looks at Odyssey, then World Showplace*

Also, would we want it taking over the whole pavilion, or just Cranium Command? There's more to life than just what's in your head after all.

And it's not like they are incapable of building new venues. EPCOT isn't short space by any means.

Just look at the new theater they are putting in at Hollywood Studios just for events. So, not unthinkable that they would/could build something at EPCOT to offload that function from WoL.

Having a shuttered pavilion just isn't acceptable in a park that draws the attendance EPCOT does, imho.

Geez. I always forget how large the building behind it is. Where body wars was housed if I remember correctly.

During Food and Wine they use both of those along with WoL.

All the major attractions are back there, plus their queues and emplyee facilities and a corporate lounge, iirc.

That is wrong in so many ways...but hilarious!

 

[MagicHappens1971]

I am seeing the movie tomorrow, everyone said it was great. What Pixar movie would you compared it to?

So the best course of action would be a new purpose made building like @englanddg suggested and what DHS is getting.

Whoa, whoa, whoa..........the Odyssey is out of bizness? I've been waiting on an Adventurer burger for years and years. This would explain everything.

I agree this would be the best course of action, which means it is not the course they will take.
