EPCOT New Play Pavilion to replace Epcot's Wonders of Life

[Horizons1]

News? No, but the tiles were all carefully taken down when these were put up so I would imagine they can easily be reinstalled. Either way I doubt they would keep this awful color, if the new tiles stay they'll probably be repainted.

Won’t keep the awful color? Need I remind you that someone APPROVED the merciless, horrendous color for Communicore before they murdered her? Clearly there is someone at EPCOT who hates good coloring.

I mean, Wonders *is* the last Future World pavilion to not be affected by a bad paint job (other than SSE), I guess it's it's time.

Good Imagination might be able to loose imageworks and gain more Ride

Not sure why anyone would think this was temporary, it's a new replacement roof and the titles don't look brown to me they look like gold paint.

Because they replaced them three times already?

They’re still going through with the Nintendo Wii Dome?

Probably not for a while, unless they instate a “Bring Your Own Wiimote” policy

I feel like they should repaint those tiles a new shade of gold

And then... replace them.

I wonder if they will just turn this pavilion back into the festival center??

It may be too late for that, as WDI has manufactured set pieces and gone so far as to submit permits for their installation (I think I remember seeing those filed this past summer in the permits thread.) But since we can't see how far along they've gotten on the inside, it is possible that they could make changes to what they had planned.

But I will admit, I was a little surprised that they didn't force the makeover of WoL to further develop it as a festival center. Not that that's what I personally would have wanted...

I guess they could always make one half of the pavilion a "play" area aimed at kids while the other half caters to entertaining the adults with food and beverage. The concept art already evokes a sort of dance club atmosphere. Let the "hotel" area be a place where both children and adults can pass out

They are taking more care of repainting/replacing the WOL roof than they did with the castle paint scheme.

While it's nothing to read into, the other site showed that the Flower and Garden guide maps make specific mention of Play and Guardians.

Both sites on the map prefaced with "Future home of..."

Hasn‘t play been on the maps since D23? Also there‘s signage all over the park for it.

I feel like I have missed something - Has this been canceled? I thought it was just delayed.

It seems to be very much on, if not delayed a bit.
