Which is fine, what is awful is the bland seating and tables and rusty stuff and weird hanging lamps like it was bought at Home Goods. Epcot needs to stay unique, it needs uniqueness in its furnishings. Wooden and rusty feeling even that you don't find at Disney Spring's.
Like this:
Even that to me seems...well hard to even know what is going on there actually....
It definitely did at it's opening.....but then they started messing with it and opened the plaza up adding more concrete and removing the original water features... That should have been the starting place for this re-imagining...and it definitely needs a large show fountain again...
There was additional water features beyond Fountain of Nations in the 80's. The leaked concept art that was cancelled below really reaks ("nostalgia and today") which is far how more Epcot it is that we know than now which represents something else, a college campus park so why we have no connection or memories with it. Not only is Fountain of Nations and both innoventions building existence you have the park vibe setting with trees too! I'm absolutely sure there's room for Journey of Water too!
What is that last piece from? I see @marni1971 Martin's name on there.
I believe that was an option for the latest Epcot renovation that was *not* chosen … keeping/rehabbing the the Communicore/Innoventions East and west buildings, updating the fountain, adding more trees, etc.
That Epcot image looks like what happens at Malls when they shut down the fountains and fill them with plants.
I wish they took the path not chosen
You know what I think is sad if I had to guess why this concept wasn't chosen, not because anything was wrong with it, but because the other concept of having the festival building that never came. Chapek with Iger must of thought this is so needed for private views of our Harmonious Spectacular. Is Harmonious even the only reason why the idea of the Festival Building existed in the first place. How much do we know if they went with concept not chosen meant Illumination's ROE was staying.
You mean to tell us they could have done just a simple update Instead of the Piece of Bleah We have right now!?! I would rather have this!!!! Innoventions loop would still be playing throughout if so...
"Mr Iger, PUT UP THIS WALL and BUILD the Epcot renovation that was *not* chosen!"
What does this nonsense add to the discussion?
This is so stupid but I love it. Don't listen to the haters! Your posts are alleviating the atrophy of my smiling muscles.
