New project on the south end of Inoventions West. (Epcot)

[roj2323]

So I over heard about a project at Epcot and sure enough there is something going on by inventions west (by club cool). There is a backhoe on site and a fairly large area is walled off (RED). At first I thought this was just the removal of the butterfly garden since the flower and garden fest just ended but the area has been demolished fairly completely. All of the concrete walks are gone and they also cut a trench across the walkway leading to the backside of inventions west presumably for new utilities (YELLOW). here's a diagram of the affected area.

thoughts?

I noticed that the other day as well. Is a pretty large area but then again not really large enough for something much. I noticed they were building a playground area for kids to the right entrance into world showcase

Maybe they are moving LaL there?

I think it's a water line.

I think it is maintenance, nothing interesting.

That's being demolished. It was up for Flower and Garden.

It's maintenance. Nothing exciting.

Unless maintenance excites you, then well, get it while it's hot!

That area has changed before. It used to house satellite dishes, big ones.

I know they were doing the demo for the butterfly garden but this seems a bit more involved.

It's supposed to be down for a good majority of the summer. Not sure why. I would hope that they at least expand the size of the walkways there since it's always tight.

If they're running a water line, could be that the area will get a larger splash pad. It would make sense to move it off the main path, add the rubberized ground, etc. Cost isn't that much for something like that.

CM here... like I said before... They are dealing with a sinkhole... that's it.

A sinkhole just like this thread...

I'm sure it is an expansion of Club Cool so that Beverly can have her own wing.

Now, we've all been complaining about the lack of proper maintenance at EPCOT. I definitely include myself in that demographic. Rides are falling apart, whole scenes don't work, and all that. I don't think this maintenance is exactly what we had in mind, though...

But, its a start. At least they are doing something related to maintenance...even if it is a water pipe.

I came here to post this because it is 100% true.

It's actually going to be an extension of The Land, called The Turf and filled with sod.

It will be a FP+ option, and will allow you to experience sunshine sitting on real grass.

Can't wait...
