News Big changes coming to EPCOT's Future World?

[RSoxNo1]

That was one of the reasons the Tron coaster was discounted for Epcot. It was felt Project Tomorrow, the proposed new Spine and TT were Tron like enough.

So the new spine will be sleek blue, purple and green lighting like Tron 2.0 and Project Tomorrow? I can get behind that, I just fear that it might feel a bit too sterile.

 

[RSoxNo1]

The pavilion will probably change in two phases but not how is been rumoured on these boards.

OK, so they could fix the attraction that started the downward spiral of Epcot while continuing the downward spiral elsewhere?

Purple. And blue. And white.

Maybe.

 

[RSoxNo1]

Purple. And blue. And white.

Maybe.

So Tomorrowland and Future World will have similar vibes? They're really doing a good job of differentiating them aren't they. No wonder both areas are a mess.

 

[Dr.GrantSeeker]

That's the style of one of the proposals.

I believe that you said one of the proposals you liked and the other not so much. Is the Tron style spine the one proposal that you like?

Sterile, maybe. But I can see it. Sleek. I think Project Tomorrow and TT2 have good designs, they are the more successful ways of bringing EPCOT into the 2010s.

 

[Goob]

They need to bring it into the 2020's.

 

[HMF]

should we be scared or can we relax a bit with that one

If they are really going the Marine Life Institute route, I think I can relax.

Well Tomorrowland is supposedly being re-done too. Though I am not sure to what extent.

Similar in places. Both would still have their own appearances, and of course in Epcot the futuristic half has far more architecture than just the spine.

I don't believe they are. But the pavilion could get bigger.

TT will become more Tron like?

 

[trainplane3]

Now that's unexpected. Then again, it kinda did feel "small" inside there. Regardless, that sounds very welcoming even though it probably is a early blue sky plan.

And I'm okay with seeing a Tron inspired FW. If it's done right, I think it would look VERY good.

 

[marni1971]

TT will become more Tron like?

Nooo! It's deemed TRON enough.

 

[Bocabear]

I was just thinking...how could TT be MORE Tron like...without actually changing to lightcycles...lol

 

[uncle jimmy]

Nooo! It's deemed TRON enough.

Cool, I was thinking that it already feels Tron like enough.

For anyone that has visited Shanghai, would the canopy style from the Tron ride work visually in place of the spine for Epcot? Maybe demolish both communicore buildings to open up the area add a couple new smaller structure in the area with a more modern look for a new restaurants that has indoor and outdoor seating. seems like it would be more visually pleasing than the tarps they have now especially if they turn it into a pleasant spot with plenty of greenery and places to sit.

not sure if Anyone is familiar with Sentosa Island, Singapore but the walk from the Merlion skyway station to the entrance of Universal and the Sentosa Aquarium is actually pleasant. The huge differently shaped canopies overhead and the multitude of water features and greenery and elevations of walkways really add to the area. It even looks more spectacular at night with all the lighting.

I'm sure that Disney can design something so that the large pillars blend nicely with the environment or even set them up so that they could eventually be wrapped with plants that will make the area even more green and be used for their huge garden and flower festival.

Any chance they will add the updated, Nemo version of StormRider from TDS to the pavilion?

 

[Ismael Flores]

I'm just waiting for the studios to revive the idea of a remake for "Flight of The navigator". Once that is announced we will probably hear a re-theme of Mission Space. Everyone will get to fly to the future in our own spaceship with our very own wise cracking Max

Purple. And blue. And white.

Maybe.

Groovy...
