EPCOT Big changes coming to EPCOT's Future World?

[Unbanshee]

If this is true, I am very impressed and very happy.

What about it seems to be untrue?

 

[Bocabear]

there are so many things to imagine...that they should and could have done....Between the completely flubbed central spine there is also the new attractions that were cancelled and the incredibly disappointing "flex space" Meet & Greet building...

I want to see it in person, in action, to see if there are any intermittent segments etc.

I was there last night, and they’re in better shape now than they were opening night. No incorrect colors or bad sections

This shows its not incompetence, that they can do something right if they really want to.

We know they are not going to pressure wash these now.

Lets see how they survive a rain storm.

The good thing is it rains less this time of the year, so it should be good at least until the rainy season starts.

It’s actually raining today lol, at least here at DAK

Light sprinkles in Epcot, nothing worthy of taking cover yet but the forecast calls for it to be worse.

Edit: Brief downpour. There's a pair of stantions spread over part of the lights but I'm not sure if that means anything (it's not a line, just one rope).

Well lets see what happens

It would be sad if the rain broke it!

Honestly I do believe it was the pressure washer the first time around.

But even if they refrain from pressure washing it, I am concerned about the long term reliability of these in a year or so in the sun and the rain.

Valid concerns. Let’s just hope they learned their lesson this time around.

This problem was more involved than pressure washing

Well lets hope they worked out the more involved problems and the lighting will survive the sun and rain over time.

And pressure washing is not a singular thing. There are wrong ways to pressure washing different objects and materials. Everything being pressure washable is also not a real standard.

Third time's the charm?

 

[THEMEPARKPIONEER]

What? The fountain of nations worked great for years…

That’s the sad part, these lights are working like the fountain did towards the end

 

[THEMEPARKPIONEER]

FON worked great...the tech was extremely old at the end...Even when it was not in "show Mode" it still added so much to the area....

Should have stripped it down to the concrete, it would have been allot more cost effective even if it meant just having the waterfall and no show. They could have easily had it with the new gardens. It would fit so well in those surroundings with especially with new guardrails.

They all do work now. Also, some sections are showing the wrong color based on what it is meant to be. All blue mostly works, all green works, with pink you'll get some white and orange sections.




Also the main plaza light ribbon is in really bad shape.

 

[MisterPenguin]

Same time next year when the 2nd permanent repairs are made?

I'll meet you each year at the EPCOT hub for the annual fixing of the ground lights. I'll be the one wearing a mistletoe ringlet!!
