It's genius, really. They keep building bigger and bigger show buildings around the park to wall it in, and then all you need to do is slap a roof on it and boom, you got the original EPCOT except with more coasters.

It's always fun how that ends up happening seemingly a lot. Rip Ride Rockit and Wizarding World opened a year apart across the street. Frozen and Pandora are a year apart. Toy Story Land and Star Wars Land are opening a year(ish) apart. Guardians with its gravity building and Ratatouille with...

Epcot is supposed to have its monorail exit reconfigured to be in the security zone, supposedly its what the construction by the ticket booths is. There's also supposed to be a new entrance in general. Otherwise I imagine it'll just be minor stuff? Not a ton of space for major changes to DAK's...

At least the strollers managed to find a better spot in the 30 years since that pic was taken :s

I imagine most of the work going on is inside of the gravity/UoE buildings

The Odyssey re-opened for Festival of the Arts today. It went through a renovation while it was closed! The bathrooms are also renovated, and they play music in there now. No more peace and quiet in those sadly

From today. A big 'ol tarp has been added on one of the still exposed sides. Work is still moving along on the transition tunnel On that note, the hole where the UoE building will connect to the transition tunnel is being made. Bunch of piping inside the pavilion. All electrical I...

Rode it today. The paintings are incredibly bright now compared to before. Like, the paintings are one of if not the brightest things on the ride.

Supposedly it'll stick around for 2-3 more years or so, supposed to get an Episode 9 scene added when the film comes out. Add on indecisiveness and the SWL crowds needing rides to be open and it'll stay for awhile.

Just a dirt and equipment I imagine. The underground piping should be going in around this time I think.

To be fair you could distill most threads on this forum down to a couple pages if you cut out the junk, though this thread is right up there in the amount it has lmao If you believe everything in this thread, the gondolas will just flat out explode the moment anyone gets on them.

At some point in 2019 I'd imagine the major exterior work on UoE will be underway, don't think that's been brought up much yet. Still got a couple hundred pages for next year sorted! And Epcot already has a ride that closes when it gets misty, two e-tickets going down isn't ideal. Also even...

Was that ever confirmed? All the show electronics for Body Wars seem to have already been ripped out and from what I understand it's fairly typical for them to take that stuff for re-use. I'd be surprised if they brought in everything needed to run the AA through the whole show just to test it.

Not a construction wall, rather a backstage entrance for vehicles and larger things presumably. Been there for awhile. About as pretty as a construction wall either way.

From today. Kinda but not really at all blending with the sky. If any part of the gravity building is gonna get theming, I'd imagine it'll be this side. It sorta sticks out from the rest of the building. Catwalks are up inside and some of the piping for the wiring is installed. Also, to the...

The building is certainly visible, just the level at which you notice it will change depending on where you are in World Showcase. Doesn't seem like that big a deal in Future World but you'll get a view from a good majority of WS. Around Italy it'll probably be the most jarring despite being the...

And for good reason, pretty much all the gift shop exit rides are nightmares if it's busy or raining. Buzz's and Star Tour's gift shops are disasters. Unless the shop is absolutely massive it never really works well.

And in the 5 days in Winter where people are freezing to death from hypothermia, it'll be a great heater! A win-win.

It'll cost more all together but less per quarter I believe. The overall cost of a project shouldn't matter much in the end if you split it into multiple years, just the cost per quarter and fiscal year. Sucks that it takes a long time though. At least this is an addition so it's not shutting...

Gosh, everyone's so worried about painting the building. Disney already has technology that makes rides magically disappear, you just need to scale it up a bit.
