Screamscape reporting new epcot attraction announcement

[michael valles]

Screamscape reporting a potential new attraction for Epcot tomorrow.
Any validity to this rumor.
They also state it may or may not be related to a new lagoon show since their has been some new pyrotechnic testing as of late.

What do you guys think?

All I know is Screamscape will post anything. And then they go back later and delete the things that were proven wrong. Off the top of my head, I can't think of a less reliable source. Maybe bus drivers.

Here is the full Screamscape article, which really doesn't say too much:

Rumor - (8/18/11) I’m not entirely sure what it is, but there is a lot of buzz coming from those planning to attend the D23 Expo this weekend about a possible new attraction of some kind on the way for Epcot. So far on my end, most of the rumor mills have all gone silent as far as the future of Epcot is concerned… with one exception. On August 8th, about a week and a half ago, after Illuminations was over and the park was emptied out, Entertainment staff stayed on to perform some kind of late night ‘Fireworks Test’ over the lagoon. The official statements issued to the general staff, so they didn’t freak out about late night pyro, seems to indicate that they were just testing some new pyro. “While some of the fireworks tested may appear slightly different than our nightly performance, please note that there are no significant changes planned for Epcot’s “IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth” show at this time.” Of course, they could have also been testing some material under consideration for a future show at another park as well. I guess we’ll have to wait until D23 to see what rises up.

It will probably be the new Universe of Energy! :sohappy:

With a shoe-horning of marketable characters into it without any reguard for cohesive themeing! :sohappy:

This has so little chance of being anything!!! Illuminations is going nowhere, neither is Wishes and with Fantasmic! getting a small refurb in January i wouldnt be getting my hopes up!!

The amazing Screamscape strikes again!!! :fork:

I would hope with their current thing of going to older attractions that they would add an updated version of the original. I am always singing the song from that version.

Has Screamscape ever had a correct Disney rumor? Before it was reported everywhere else?




The pyro tests likely had to do with the fact that Disney has been having quite a few problems with pyro quality lately, which has led to cutbacks on certain shells.

They aren't just wrong about Disney. They are wrong about every theme park I follow. I really don't know why anyone goes there any more.

I hope not, I actually enjoyed Ellen's Energy Adventure... If they actually do anything to this ride, I hope they just update the film and ride vehicles.

Would like to see rotating screens again...

I agree. I always loved the song from the original.

 

[BrerFrog]

I am not really buying that.

As much as I'd like a new attraction at EPCOT,it probably won't happen for a long time.

Sadly, I think you are correct.

If nothing else, it would be nice to see them upgrade ROE (as much as I love it), as well as Ellen.

Probably right sadly but then anything can change at any time. And Test Track will have changes before Universe of Energy. And as for Imagination, oy. :brick:

 

[JEANYLASER]

maybe new Universe of energy also!

I read this twice and just can't figure out how testing pyro equates in any way to rumors of a new attraction. Besides have we even heard a viable rumor of a plan for an Epcot attraction that was far enough along in development???
