EPCOT New Play Pavilion to replace Epcot's Wonders of Life

[Cmdr_Crimson]

If anything now they'll just make it a DVC pavilion lounge, close the one at Imagination, and make it the start of the real construction that needs to be done for that pavilion instead..

Plot twist. The Play! Pavilion has been reimagined as the Work! Pavilion. An interactive experience that allows guests to create food and beverage items that are sold in the outdoor kitchens and maintain flowerbeds and topiaries through watering, weeding, and trimming.

The gateway communities to places like Dinosaur National Monument and Petrified Forest National Park are overloaded with tacky dinosaur statues and there outright is a "Dinosaur World" next to Dinosaur Valley State Park in Texas. The Chester and Hester giftshop is actually good at nailing that roadside Arizona Giftshop covered in ugly dinosaurs vibe, but the carnival they put next to it just seems to be "Screw it, just build South of the Border SC with dinosaurs instead of Mexican stereotypes".

There's a wild animal hospital in Ogden UT (WRCNU) that is being displaced for a dinosaur kids park. Those tacky dino statues have some serious clout and big backers. The hospital might survive, they are trying really hard.

Can’t tell if this is a joke or something actually planned….

New permit for "General Construction", expires 11/29/2024. Was posted in the Guardians thread and is marked 1350 rather than 1360 which is the address usually used for Wonders, but I can't imagine what it would be for in the Guardians plot? Potentially work in Wonders?

Maybe they need to change WoL's roof?

Well, it has been a minute....

Still seems odd why you can still order a poster print of the cancelled pavilion on Shop Disney's webstore..

I would be surprised if anyone at TWDC was even aware of its availability on Shop Disney. That would assume cross division/team communication.

I think this would be an excellent location for an ultimate Club Cool. A huge rotunda of free drink machines serving every single drink under the entire Coca Cola umbrella from every single nation around the earth. A beacon of unity in a divided world. The current Club Cool is an okay start but much too small.

That's actually not a bad idea. Disney will never do it, no ROI for them, but if done right would be pretty nice.

Sounds similar to what World of Coke is (has) in Atlanta, but unless Coke wants to pony up the money, I don't see it happening. Plus, If you thought there were a ton of complaint of a Guardians of the Galaxy pavilion in EPCOT, I can only imagine the complaints we would get from what is essentially a "Coke" pavilion.

Also, They have the big Coca-Cola store and Soda Bar at The Springs...So, why not a Pavilion..

The ROI would theatrically be a big fat check from Coca Cola. Soft drinks cost pennies whereas labor is expensive so I could actually imagine this working financially.

The color of World Discovery is red, and also, the color of Coke is red. It’s perfect.

I go with the old standby: Something Star Wars themed... perhaps a spinoff of the defunct Hotel that would inspire those that experienced the hotel and give a glimpse to those that couldn't afford it/ experience it.

I'd rather have a Muppets Happiness Hotel in the UK Pavilion even if Star Wars stepped a small foot within the confines of Epcot.

No matter where you wander, you will never do as well.

If they put Star Wars into Epcot, turn out the lights. The party is over.

Didn't we forget that they did.......Once.

Yeah, but I was ok with a projection at the end of the night (but it still was ugly as hell). Temporary thing. A physical presence? That's one of the signs it's time to kiss the parks goodbye.
