News Big changes coming to EPCOT's Future World?

[Ralphlaw]

Personally, I think it would be great, but probably impractical, to put rooms for rent inside existing buildings. I would love to stay in the big Canada building, or up in the German pavilion, or inside the Mexico pyramid. They did it with MK's castle, why not the buildings at Epcot?

You're right. The Epcot buildings are a very different proposition.

Has momentum slowed for the spine/communicore project?

No, it's still moving forward.

It could potentially be a bigger project than originally envisaged. Hopefully it'll end up very nice if it's done along the line of one of the proposals. Park purists would approve I think.

That is great news. If something of true quality is restored, that will go a long way towards fixing the park.

There's several proposals, one I personally hope gets the boot. Let's wait and see.

So can you not simply reply to the person sending you all of this information, and tell that person which one would be the best option?

Does the budget include fixing the SSE television? It's still broken.

A fix is not what those televisions need. More like a removal.

There's four I know of, none connected with Showcase.

Nothing more I should say at the mo.

What about in half a mo'?

I wish I could find any footage of that show! One of my holy grails.

Yup, broken this weekend. No Neil Armstrong.

Would any of these proposals involve an attraction like exhibits or a show? Or is it still just restaurants?

Some proposals include a mix of use. No "rides".

Would one of the proposed resorts be Art Deco or Art Novue themed? WDW doesn't really have any with those two themes yet. Or, considering current the IP driven mindset , are we now stuck in a period of single IP-based resorts (ie Toy Story Resort, Star Wars Resort concept)?

I think its one of these situations...

Tiger isn't quite the same thing. Cheating on his wife isn't on the level of Lance cheating or what Cosby did. Plus, regardless of Tiger's inability to play now, he is still a legendary golfer. (And I don't even like the guy).

And if you went by that criteria there would be almost no one of any fame in any attraction. Cheating with drugs or forced sexual predators are hardly the same thing. The only reason why there aren't more on the no-no list is because they didn't get caught or were doing that stuff in a different time and place. Thomas Jefferson... out! George Washington... out! Benjamin Franklin... out! John Kennedy.... out! Franklin Roosevelt... out! We are all human, none of us gets through life completely innocent of something. Perhaps, we need to figure out the unforgivable from the it's not my problem, it's between him and his creator.
