When have you seen nobody in the damn thing? Every time I’ve been there it’s been packed.

And it’s not out of place at all.

Its out of place. I wish they put this in AK where they desperately need a water attraction.

Who knows, maybe they will clone it for AK and call it, Avatar: The way of Water.

Its mobbed because there are still a lot folks who have not walked through it yet.

Even I want to walk through it once to se what the big deal is about.

Actually I want a tour of the filtration plant, after all its ON STAGE TAKING UP SPACE!!!!!

When I was there folks were sitting in the queue waiting to get in. I just walked past it because I already know its not worth the wait.

It also shows you how starved folks are for SOMETHING TO DO in EPCOT!!

Its too bad they don't add NEW ACTUAL GOOD attractions to EPCOT.

It’s not out of place at all. It fits Epcot perfectly.

It’s busy because it’s well done, interesting, entertaining, and involves a popular IP.

this is a rational and not at all unhinged rant

Sure it is (debatable). You are welcome to think it’s a perfect fit, that doesn’t mean it is.

Now is it more of a perfect fit than Guardians? Yes, that’s not debatable haha

In this day and age you are correct. Everything is debatable.

But it objectively fits Epcot perfectly. Just because it looks different than other things in the park doesn’t mean it doesn’t fit the park.

Can you articulate why it doesn’t fit?

The difference between EPCOT Center and Disney’s Animal Kingdom can probably best be contrasted as “humans taming nature” vs “nature taming humans.” Journey of Water never really takes that step towards humans taming. It’s more abstracted. Oddly enough, by holding back on the Moana story they stay away from it because that is very much a story of conquering nature (like Zootopia it contradicts its intended metaphor).

The big caveat though is that the new neighborhoods of Epcot are incredibly poorly defined. Anything vaguely earthly related would fit World Nature.

More importantly though, it’s just incredibly poorly sited. It sits off to the side. There’s a reason so many for so, so, so long assumed it would be closer to the existing pavilions, because it’s actual physical placement doesn’t really make sense.

I think the reason so many people mention DAK is the pavement, rockwork, and lighting all point toward DAK / Adventureland - since the rest of Epcot, even world of nature itself, has either 1980’s or 2024 modern / futuristic vibes.

That’s why I keep saying I would like to see how the project evolved - because if all of works of nature had this adventure / DAK theming feel to it, I could see it being a much more natural fit.
