News Big changes coming to EPCOT's Future World?

[Brandon Jones]

Has anyone else noticed Coco is on the poster? I know the guitar is leaned against the pyramid in the model as well.

As are Maracas. Both are instruments associated with Mexico. Conveniently, both are also played by the cast of characters already featured in the boat ride.

What about the fiesta flags!

Saw this online... Obviously what is going on in China, but the look seems to replicate some of what is on the overall' "Conceptual Model" Anyone else see the connection?

 

[ChrisFL]

I think we're getting Coco in Mexico, it's too obvious IMO to not be

I saw a comment where someone mentioned the guitar and Coco and I thought "Well, it could be. But the guitar is already featured in the ride." (just as you pointed out). But that's why I wanted to point out the poster because that confirms the ride will be Coco themed. Also, the model appears to only show new/updated attractions, so why show Mexico unless it's being updated? I'm just wondering if it will be Coco solo or Coco + 3 Caballeros. As long as it stays air-conditioned.......haha.

Already in the Pavilion.

As Martin pointed out yesterday, I’m assuming it’s allusions to Coco in the ride, as opposed to an entire overhaul. Likely in the mid section with the dolls.

As long as I can dump the kids off on it while I grab a tequila flight and chips/salsa, Im fine with whatever.

Its just a pleasant ride.

So Seas and China... both referenced in the display model, but what's changing?

There has to be more than a new China movie. Or is this just an attempt to get Chinese media to show the expo?

I hope that the exterior flourishes at The Seas are what we’ll end up getting as a refresh

 

[Crazydisneyfanluke]

My question is: will the multi-level festival/bar be inside? If its outside.... oh boy...

 

[JustInTime]

But the concept art doesn't show any new buildings...

Then again there are at least two announcements on Sunday: Brazil and ???

I think the lack of show buildings in the art is 100% intentional.

"Revealing Sunday" with a bunch of posters for extinct attractions. Wonder what that means?

Also, "On the brink of a new age, October 1, 2019.

Absolutely in love with those Imagination and Universe of Energy posters

I assumed that the other placeholder is for the Mary Poppins attraction in the United Kingdom Pavilion. The France Pavilion has two posters, one for itself and the other for Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure, so, it seems to be a rational guess.

Poppins is in the U.K. poster already, but who knows if that means anything?

Exactly...Simlar to IASW by adding a little bit to it and nothing else just like the Donald Pinata in that segment..

Here the 10-minute, EPCOT preview video from D23.



Video by Attractions Magazine.

Do we have any idea what this is? The video hovers on this for a while, and it looks like some sort news desk and has cameras filming it. Did I miss an explanation of this somewhere?

Probably instead of filming the festival stuff outside in front of WS they'll do it there.

Boy it's easy to spot the social media team shill posts now isn't it?

How much is Universal paying you to say that?

 

[mitchiavelli]

I noticed the horizontal lines right before I went to bed last night. Makes sense to throwback to Horizons but include something flying "over the horizon"

Or the roof of Energy...

Some fancy new merchandise with the new logos. The colors they're usin look really nice. Not sure exactly what that box in the middle is though.
