News Disney to reveal more about the future of Epcot at D23 Expo 2019

[HauntedMansionFLA]

The amount of land on the west side of Future World is truly massive. Bioreconstruct has some great recent views. Literally enough room for something on the scale of GE AND Pandora.

He also seems to be dropping a ton of hints about MK expansion.

I think we should hear about one of two of these parks soon. D23?

Any thoughts @Magic Feather @marni1971 ??

Any thoughts @Magic Feather @marni1971 ??

So the question is two massive land expansion on the two developed parks that need it the least??

I’ll take it...but the sniff test is a little sour on this one.

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

It's like an oddball version of Project Gemini...I at least could go with Discoveryland motif if Future World gets renamed..

Oh dear...you resurrected one of the great unicorns of all time

It certainly proved the viability of immersion. And the profitability. SWGE and Pandora have proven it wasn't a fluke. Guests are loving it.

How do you know what “guests are loving”? Thats just an assumption. You just claimed a mass result based on a land yet to be opened in one location and 48 hours old in another.

I never stated IP guarantees success. See: Solo.

That franchise is in complete disarray (yes...nothing has changed making that untrue)...don’t know if that’s the best example

Scratch that, it won't be the icon, it'll be the mural on the side of the show building.

Jeeze at least they have a facade and DCA's looks like a Hangar from the outside and Epcot......Well, it reminds me how the Stonecutters painted a building...

Saw a couple people posting on social media today after everyone's favorite site posted an article today titled “BREAKING: Brazil Pavilion Will Open with No Attraction in 2022 at Epcot” lol

What about it? Brazil's been talked about on here as the next WS pavilion for over 2 years. There's a thread dedicated to it. It's not really news here.

Just thought it was interesting that they were reporting it was confirmed and/or amusing how quickly people were jumping on the Brazil 100% confirmed bandwagon given the recent Land/Sea pavilion post.

Did they though... is WWoHP in any realm of the same success if it isn’t based on the lore and fan base of that franchise? While the land is very well done it’s the IP that’s driving that success.

Right, and there are certain IPs where world building allows a full realized land. Toy Story for example, doesn't lend itself to the same level of world building as Potter, Star Wars, Cars or Avatar.

The secondary lesson here though is that everything needs to be tied to an IP and if you've looked at the results since Potter opened across Universal and Disney, the IP based rides have been a mixed bag.

I request that any of those guests in attendance at D23 not be afraid to react appropriately if you feel they're doing damage to the parks. Bob Chapek should be greeted with boos until he shows us otherwise.

The California Disney fans, who make up the bulk of D23's attendance, won't care what he says about Epcot. They rarely go to Florida.

Never thought I'd live to think I would (almost) prefer project Gemini to what they're actually doing with Epcot.

As long as it doesn't become a Roger Goodell situation. That's just gotten old, at this point.

On the contrary, I booed during the 2017 presentation about GOTG. I got a few looks.

It's gotten old in the sense that Roger Goodell should have been forced out on multiple occasions. Make no mistake, the issues around Roger Goodell affect the physical well being of people. The issues around Iger and Chapek are about fan preferences. It's apples and fire engines, not apples and oranges.

I wasn't as loud as I should have been, but I was saying to the friend that joined me, "Don't &%$# up the park Tom, Don't &%$# up the park."

They'd better not get rid of Figment. Seriously, even Pete Docter hates the idea of them getting rid of Figment.

So then, new Marvel phase should lead to some speculation. The MCU is far outside my ability to speculate though beyond that which I predicted when Disney acquired Marvel.

...yep. But that “darned” contract is still in place.

And that “darned” Epcot theme still doesn’t fit
