EPCOT New Park Entrance coming to Epcot

[trainplane3]

The new tram stop should be open tomorrow (Oct. 24th) everything minus some minor stuff in the flower beds looks to to be complete

I'm not sure, it looks very complete but unless they poured that area to the one side then I have a feeling it might be a few more days.

They have it setup for load/unload to be in the same area for a few days. Everything is fenced off in preparation for it and the easily moved shrubs are in place. Besides I've seen them pour 100+ yards of concrete and have guests walking on it the next day. The chemicals they can throw into a mix to make it strong in just a few hours is pretty cool and throw in some glass fiber into the mix and the stuff is pretty much bulletproof in 6-8 hours. (I was a concrete guy for nearly 10 years btw)

I'd say you nailed it.

Where do monorail and resort bus guests go?

Monorail guests have already been screened. Bus guests use the same bag check as the parking lot.

Finally, the double screening of monorail guests is over.

I've might've missed it, but are there any plans to update the bus shelters? The whole area looks much sleeker now, and those now just seem dated.

They changed this for monorail guests? They had to be screened twice for the last couple years.

As of the new layout, yes.

Just like 1982. Kudos to the project team.

LOL! Amazing, right? The original design is hard to improve on...

Often but it isn't always the case. This new design improves on the original.

 

[Disney Analyst]

Haven't paid attention to this. Can someone refresh me on how it was before this?

[draybook]

Guests taking the monorail from the TTC to Epcot won't have to be re-screened at Epcot???

 

[Soluna16]

Does someone have a layout of what the entire front area will look like when the second tram loop is also complete?
