It’s an Epcot relic, the spot where the park was dedicated, remove the show but keep those walls flowing, there are some things you don’t touch and that I believe is not nessesary to remove.

Think for yourselfer
Like beer!!!!
They could always, you know, fix it.
This should be enough to keep it,
“The Fountain of Nations dates back to the opening day of Epcot where is was dedicated by Walt's widow, Lillian Disney. People from 23 countries brought water from their homelands, which was then poured into the fountain - representing the world community brought together at Epcot.”
Epcot is a one of a kind park like no other in this world, that to should be enough to keep Epcot as it was. Maybe it’s time for Disney to sell it off as a third party park to someone who will restore it to its original glory.

The present management of both the Disney company and the parks, who have nothing in common with what used to be the Disney spirit, doesn't know or care about anything else than money. They ripped the heart out of the Polynesian, they rip off resort guests now for parking at Disney resorts, they will respect absolutely nothing.
A bus driver told me it is right behind the yeti in order of fixing.

And it would still be a dated type of thing that doesn’t strike emotion the same anymore. That’s why I advocate for change, not just maintain. The fountain was 80s contemporary and has not aged well. Just like stark white clean TL of the 70s didn’t age well and doesn’t deserve to be the style of the land now and for the future.
Somethings should be kept classic and refreshed... I just don’t think a large animated fountain show is one.

It may suck to watch things being taken away but it's not a museum.

Could it be one of those things where it's more expensive to revamp than replace??
Nope. It’s really not.
Broken pumps, snapped hoses and perished lighting aren’t that expensive.
