It's nice to see the fountain return to its original form, but the park is still CHAPEK Center.

Dressing it up in 80s iconography doesn't excuse all the poor decisions leading up to now.

Can we just have a moment this moment for once? It's the only positive news we had in months.

No kidding! It’s bittersweet because the plans show this team doesn’t understand the values of Epcot at all*, but the fountain prism is still beautiful. :)

But you know they’re looking at our reactions and saying, “See? It’s a success! The fans love it! Now slap preschool themes onto everything that’s left!” (I kid, I kid.)

*a night show celebrating how cultures influence Disney music and vice-versa? Really? Can it get any more corporate than that?

The thing that makes me instantly not care about that show is how everything we've seen and heard is literally just music from Disney/Pixar movies. Even though I'm sure we'll get some kind of original main theme, it's not going to be enough for me to care about it. Well...if I could get a special view of the show maybe.

I'm sure it'll be a technological marvel though.

At least RoL (originally) had a great soundtrack. RoE had an amazing score that could stand on its own.

But where else can you hear these Disney songs? It's not like many people have access to a streaming service with Disney music or YouTube. This is why World Showcase must change, because people can just read Wikipedia about countries but they can't just listen to music or watch movies anywhere.

Indeed. The proposed throwbacks, nods, and retro merchandise are an attempt to appease fans of the park whilst systematically destroying it. However, taken in isolation this is an absolutely wonderful thing.

Now if the spine redesign is redesigned again for the better, I will ride Guardians of Energy

Any word on what is going on with the spine redesign or what it will look like? Also is there any plans for energy edutainment in GoTG? I feel like we are going to be surprised with that.

Infinite Universe is still a cooler name than Cosmic Rewind. You know, now would be a good time to switch it back, "retooling" due to the pandemic and all. Just saying.

I dunno, Cosmic Rewind has both the fun of referencing the reverse launch and is a nod to a cassette tape and music, which is a huge part of the movies. Infinite Universe doesn't necesarily sound like something for Guardians of the Galaxy, but Cosmic Rewind does

As much as I prefer the idea of something called "Infinite Universe", I agree with the above.

Honestly, given how little I have heard what this is really going to be like, I don't think that I know which would fit better. If it is an "Infinite Universe" experience, I'll be thrilled!

I think that’s the idea. If this is going to be shoehorned into EPCOT then at least name it something that sounds like a ride at EPCOT would be named. But instead let’s name it like a Six Flags attraction and give away the thrill of the attraction in the name. The attractions name, like its showbuilding, have no idea what subtlety mean.
