Joe Rohde in EPCOT on 9/30

He was walking around World Showcase with another Imagineer who appeared to be explaining things to him.

He was walking around World Showcase with another Imagineer who appeared to be explaining things to him.

He posted a lot of pics he took walking around WS yesterday on his Instagram in honor of Epcot's 35th.

Probably being shown the locations of all the announced Epcot projects that never came to be.

I’d rather think he was planning the Indiana Jones clone for Brazil, but that’s just me.

If they wanted to do that just retheme Dinoland in AK to S. America and convert DINOSAUR to Indy. Same ride system. More cost effective. If a Brazil pavilion is built, there probably won't be an Indy ride.

I know.

Likely he's scoping out the area for the GotG attraction...

Maybe Joe is involved in the Brazil pavillion somehow? In one of his latest Instagram photos he did say some work-related travel was coming his way...

Yeah, that's the idea that people here hate.

Joe has been posting a lot on instagram. He talked about working on models for the Imagination pavilion, as well as how he would take people to the Morocco pavilion while working on AK to show them the level of theming and detail they wanted in AK.

 

[JohnD]

Yeah, that's the idea that people here hate.

Didn't say I was for it. Just if they wanted Indy, unlikely they would build a second version of the same ride system as DINOSAUR.

I suppose we have proof now that WDI has actually been to Epcot recently, so cross "ignorance" off the list of excuses as to why it's gone so far downhill.

Funny thing is that the Atlantic Regional office for WDI is literally right behind Test Track. So you thing they would be there more often.

I feel bad for the kids who had to see his disgusting ear-dangler in all of its droopy glory in person

Tony and Bob were also wandering Epcot today.

Wait...you think it would be more cost effective to retheme an entire land and ride than it would be to build a clone of a single attraction from the ground up?

Brazil (or another country), seems to be happening anyways...

A 'Gringott's Bank' type ride is probably the perfect fit for a NEW Indy themed thrill ride. Excellent use of screens and practical props, thrilling yet not a crazy roller coaster that kid's can't experience.

But, if i can't have something new, I'd rather a clone of the DL version in either Adventureland OR Hollywood Studios.

Tony Baxter and Bob Gurr are such nice people. I like how Bob had a sharpie all ready to sign people's stuff! Very nice people!

 

[larandtra]

I wonder???????.......

Yeah, that's the idea that people here hate.

Not everyone hates it.
