Has anybody actually said anything about Wonders lately? Seems like a lot of people are treating it as an expectation instead of something for the wish list. I've tried to keep my finger on the pulse there more than anything else on property and have heard nothing but radio silence for years...

Kind of a low bar. Watching paint dry is more entertaining than the current descent after you’ve seen the cartoon a time or two already

Iirc the plan was to take it down in 2020 and have it back up in 2023, coinciding with the rest of the first phase of the overhaul wrapping up. Gutting would have taken place (as it has for the last two refurbs) but it would not have been the whole ride, it was mostly removing figures and...

Water went from Rome through the floor into the Mammoth scene and then below that into the maintenance areas. If anybody is looking for real signs of damage I'd take a look at the drop ceiling in the Mammoth scene, unless they managed to replace the affected tiles in the last couple days I would...

Bait used to be believable

Not sure where y'all are even seeing coverage of the water damage, but I am hearing from my friends of SSE that the damage was relatively minimal. Just a big clean up job. The universe said we're not getting a refurb catalyst any time soon, for better or for worse.

American Adventure is now Club 33. Norway is another rentable event space, but I think they would much sooner let it go to become a temporary DVC area than they would for Living Seas. The left field pick would be Restaurant Marrakesh. It has been used as a lounge space a few times recently...

Its leadership offices now, has been for many years. Doubt it will ever return to being any kind of VIP space. It was vacant, about the right size, and provides some nice views of the park. Plus it’s a very central location.

There's no way they would be willing to give up the revenue that the Seas lounge provides them, even for a year or two. You could use Mission: Space or The Land's, Space is probably more realistic because you could utilize the first floor reception area and just staff a cast member to ask at the...

FWIW, I’m starting to hear mumblings from people I trust that there is once again “a desire” from people higher up to improve EPCOT. I don’t think that means we’ll be getting our wish lists of projects, nor do I think it is related to the upcoming management shakeup, but it is something to note...

Really incredible that this is indistinguishable from what would've been posted on this thread eight years ago

None of those pics are of the 94 finale sets currently hidden by curtains sadly, they’re a few rooms further down. At the top you can see what remains of their original lunar surface scene idea, and then the last photo would have shown this thread’s namesake space station if all those light...

I'll give you that preshow 2 and the load area are nice. Everything else (including the exit, almost forgot about that one!) is bare walls, screens, and lights. A couple glass display cases in 10% of the queue don't make up for the unthemed 90% to me

Even all these years later it is insane to me that they spent an unfathomable amount of money on this ride and it just does not show. The queue is mostly bare walls, some screens, and RGB lights. The ride itself is some kind of cross breed between Aerosmith and Space Mountain for theming. Did...

Structural improvements. Digging way back but iirc Martin had mentioned the entire Play Pavilion project was more of a trojan horse thing to justify the work the actual WoL building itself needed. All that work was finished (aside from the dome roof again allegedly lol), and the attraction part...
