EPCOT New Park Entrance coming to Epcot

[Nautilus]

So happy!!! They look great!

Some still get it. Now to hope it rubs off on the spine.

I’m hoping this shutdown salvaged what’s left of it. Hoping that they realize that Journey thru water exists already and just needs some more love.

It's like there's three teams. One that wants to bring the old back as new but fresh, one that wants to change just because they have the money to burn but not actually improve anything, and another that has a lot of paint and kind of dumps it all over the place.

Until there's pictures from @wdwmagic ...

Looking good

Like the concept art, everything really flows good together. Cant wait to see this in Real time. Good job everyone!

 

[Disney Analyst]

Wow so gorgeous!! I’ve never seen the original. My only Epcot experience is the tombstones.

 

[Mickeynerd17]

Wow, I actually can't believe I'll finally get my photo in front of the lucite spires all decked in my Epcot merch. This is literally a dream come true!!

Restoring the original entrance was the easy part; it’s not as if Zach’s team designed any of this themselves. The spine and such will be the truly new parts of Epcot.

The steel bars are temporary supports, right?

The steel bars are temporary supports, right?

Yes.

Now, if we could only walk to the original World of Motion (but also retain Test Track version 1.0) and then onto Journey into Imagination!

 

[brb1006]

Hope the pylons change colors like the original one.

 

[brb1006]

So happy to see this!! They are perfect in that space....
Why did we go so many years without them?

Good riddance to the ugly tombstones!

 

[jaxonp]

This is wonderful. I hope this spreads to the spine.

 

[Flynnwriter]

The new (old) Epcot pylon fountain looks AMAZING!!! Imagine if they just restored Epcot to its full-pavilion splendor!

 

[Thelazer]

Cant wait to see who was involved with fabrication of these.

 

[Clamman73]

It’s like the first good day of 2020.

 

[trainplane3]

I imagine like the old pylons, there's backups on standby for if (or when?) these crack? Or do we assume they figured it out to make that a non-issue?

 

[MisterPenguin]

Oh, too late. Two are cracked from birds flying into them!!!

I wonder if they’re the same size to the original. It’s been what, 21 years? They seem smaller in front of SE, but that could be due to photos.

I'm not sure how old you are but is it also possible that you last saw them when you were a child so they seem larger?
