MickeyViews is saying this project has a $100M budget, can that be confirmed by any other insiders here? And if true how extensive is it expected to be?
The work 12 years ago was very different from the work planned and needed now. That was largely theme, paint, and software.That changes nothing of what was posted above.
It was closed and more than rethemed just 12 years ago. It was closed from April until December then.
It should have had more frequent upkeep. It hasn't. This is why we are where we are.

And yet here you are complaining about attention it is getting….Yet here we are.
With nearly 2 billion oddly placed and sliced around for EPCOT, and it is still a park is not getting the attention of a 2 billion invested in park revamp.
You askedHow do you propose they handle that then?
Your answer isn’t a serious one.You asked
I answered what should have happened instead. That it got its updates long ago, and proper the last time. Sardonic yes, but a fact none the less.
Your answer isn’t a serious one.
A proper update 12 years ago wouldn’t have prevented the need for this overhaul now.
The park that received two major attractions in the past 3 years?But a proper update(s) to the rest of the park, would have made it not such an awkward one. In a park that continues to struggle.

Capacity is a term that’s misunderstood on these forums to such a degree it’s become a runaway train. Capacity without utilization is meaningless. The American Adventure has phenomenal capacity, same with all the circle vision theaters. It’s a miracle EPCOT has any waits at all, what with all its capacity.Replacing OoE with CR is a loss of capacity. It's a cute ride, but it's just Ghost Galaxy for a new audience.
Rat is a mediocre D ticket..
Test Track is one of the only reasons I visit Epcot. If it's down, I'm not going to that park. It's like TOT for DHS.
Quoted for emphasis.It’s not really a loss of capacity it that previous capacity was not being utilized
Yay. Taking away a major E-Ticket for Summer vacation. Disney's so smart.
That was a typo and I edited it to 3 before you posted this. 2 major attractions in 3 years is significant.Rat opened in 2021.
Guardians in 2022.
And you pushed the openings of those two closers as if both opened in the past two years...hmmm.
Many other attractions around the entire park still are in rough shape and neglected.
SSE is so rough and updates were shelved.
Imagination...yeah. Far too long all around.
China never got its new film.
Innovention's replacements were a fail.
Firework show was a fail and had to be completely redone. New one is not exactly a home run either.(by far better)
I never said it was not finally getting anything new. It got the IP rush, but no substance or fixing that was actually supposed to.
I hope the new Test Track is far better. Test Track 2.0 never worked right in presentation or experience.
It should have happened long ago, and the park should not be in the mess it is in now. Which is not what was presented as happening. It is not in the shape of a park billions in.
Feast or famine, a functional, even theme park does not make.
2001 to 2016 was pretty crazy uneventful.
2016 to 2021 was about the same.
Still playing catch up.
Why did you have to post that? Now I feel really old since I remember riding shortly after opening as an adult!This refurb addresses more than just a retheme and show updates. Again. The attraction is 25 years old.
2001-2021 was a terrible time for EPCOT.Also… 2001-2021 uneventful.

Maybe not what you want… but it’s not like they haven’t been doing anything.
That is your opinion. Which you are certainly entitled to but that does not make it 100% correct.Yet here we are.

This is the same source that said TT wasn't going down until after July.MickeyViews is saying this project has a $100M budget, can that be confirmed by any other insiders here? And if true how extensive is it expected to be?
You’re right, the lack of capacity requires guests to purchase Genie+ so there is no need boost sales in any way.Disney loves to make money on Genie+
Disney does not lower capacity to boost Genie+ sales.
