I can assure you they do not think the EPCOT hub is fine (especially the ground lights) but it has become more of a "We just dropped millions on this and it's ultimately just walkways so we have bigger fish to fry right now" type of situation. It will get ripped up and redone again, just not for...

So in other words...you're trying to think of what he would think or do under the corporate capitalist lens of 2025?

Dead guy: "I want my parks to have big rivers" Acquaintances of dead guy: "Yeah he would never shut up about his rivers" Some guy on an internet forum: "Idk y'all there's no real proof he wouldn't be against getting rid of the river and if you want to use historical evidence to suggest...

You think the centerpiece of the Gamma project, which was in development for several years, was something they never bothered to do a feasibility study on? They cleared the land and opened the project up for contractor bids. Permits were filed and work was set to begin imminently when they...

The official word is that it will reopen later this year

I’m not sure if Impressions has returned yet, but I was able to confirm via a friend there today that it has indeed not operated for the last several weeks due to an issue with the curtains. The CM they spoke to said it “may be back tonight” but apparently did not seem super confident in their...

I made an evening visit to EPCOT last week to watch Impressions de France, and upon arriving to the theatre at 8 PM I was greeted by the Beauty and the Beast Sing-Along still running. I asked a CM about it and they said the mechanism that controls the curtains for Impressions broke and that...

I think this is the largest flaw with the ride itself. Everyone says this is a return to form for Future World, and I do believe it is, but EPCOT was always grounded in a realistic and achievable future. “You’re going to be able to change the shape and color of your car on a whim” is not...

No, sorry. I was just joking. We’ve been doing this for like 20 years now, it’s best to give up hope and be pleasantly surprised if something does end up happening someday

Don’t worry, they’re definitely just giving it a little more time to make it absolutely perfect and then it’ll be officially announced

Super happy that they’re doing official releases of their music now, but the actual attraction score not being here is a huge bummer. That’s gonna be the music people remember the most from this.

They’ve been gone from the column a very long time, but the signs themselves are still around and sitting in storage inside SSE.

CommuniCore was the only pavilion that used its icon on the marquee other than Horizons in its final five years. Half the pavilions had one or two secondary marquees that featured their icon. That still leaves nearly half that didn't. Even in the 80s they were predominantly used for wayfinding...

Oh much more. The WoM logo was everywhere in 2.0. Tons of signage in and around the building, the trash cans, signs on the ride, two giant ones on the hill climb, list goes on. I think 2.0 is likely the EPCOT attraction that featured a pavilion icon the most in the whole history of the park...

They were barely used in the pavilions originally too. Wonders didn’t use its icon at all. Horizons, SSE, etc. used their icons twice, maybe three times? The new Test Track I believe ties World of Motion for the amount of in-pavilion icon appearances.
