Another week and a half, another sporadic post regarding EPCOT ideas... 😆 I wish I had the time to post on a more regular basis, but as the new year begins, things are getting busier than ever! Regardless, I have a quick thought/update that I'd like to get opinions on: What about some sort of...

Hello everyone--I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and a very Happy New Year. I wanted to post a quick overview of the ideas and concepts already posted. Expect new ideas/pavilions to come very soon! The EPCOT Renaissance - Phase 1 Dreamer's Plaza Phase 1 of the EPCOT Renaissance brings...

I'm a little late to the game but wanted to get an idea out there, and it's better late than never. I suspect most users on the Imagineering Forum know of @stitchcastle and his incredible thread titled, "If I could Improve Walt Disney World." Anyone who hasn't perused through his many ideas and...

Oh I didn’t mean to bash the competition or the hard work you’ve put into it, btw. I’ve enjoyed reading projects and participating when I’ve had the time. Thanks for organizing everything and for coming up with the prompts!!

Alright, going to preface this by saying I'm a fairly casual Star Wars fan. I enjoy the movies, and I thought The Mandalorian was great, but beyond that my knowledge of Star Wars is fairly thin. I dislike how limiting this task is. I suppose it's realistic, given that Disney views the parks as...

I'm totally in your boat; give me WED circa 1971 over modern WDI any day of the week. With that said, I'll just add that personally, if tomorrow Disney announced that PPF was closing for refurbishment, and that all still figures were going to be swapped out for animatronics similar to those...

While Phase 1 of EPCOT's Renaissance continues to take shape, an unannounced project has started cooking at World Showcase's France pavilion: L’aventure Culinaire de Remy (or Remy’s Culinary Adventure in English). Based on the Disney-Pixar movie Ratatouille, L’aventure Culinaire de Remy is not...

Peter Pan's Flight has the magic factor. There's nothing quite like flying over London in a pirate ship, then passing by the moon and seeing the shadows of Peter, Wendy, John and Michael flying alongside you. Also, 7DMT feels incomplete; it's so short. It needed at least one more show scene and...

It's true. If fans were allowed to create a replacement it could come out totally disjointed and all-over-the-place...kind of like Harmonious. We wouldn't want that.

Yeah I think I'd switch 20K and Maelstrom, were I to have made the image.

No discussion of an EPCOT re-imagining would be complete without mention of EPCOT Center's classic iconography. This morning, I had a few moments to sketch out the icons for each Discovery World East's pavilions. Discovery World West's icons are forthcoming. A few notes: The VenturePort...

I think that's a super fair point, and you're both right in saying that a roller coaster could fit the "education/discovery" theme that's been established for this thread's version of EPCOT. I so wish that instead of Cosmic Rewind, WDI had pursued an Energy-themed coaster, or even a "Big Bang"...

Here's a fun prompt I stumbled upon while browsing Twitter: My list: $5 Great Movie Ride $5 Original Figment $2 Primeval Whirl $2 Innoventions $1 Honey I Shrunk the Kids (mostly for the Streets of America) What are your answers?

Meanwhile, in World Showcase, walls have sprouted up around The Outpost and the great pyramids of Giza have begun to rise in its place. That’s right, the latest addition to EPCOT’s World Showcase is the Arab Republic of Egypt: home of the world’s first great empire; bridge between old world and...

Totally agree, you and I are 100% on the same page. Entertain, inform, inspire, and offer hope: the core elements of EPCOT's theme was beautifully laid out by E. Cardon Walker and should be adhered to today. Those four principles are what make EPCOT, EPCOT! Edit: And we old-school EPCOT Center...

As VenturePort continues take shape, two other projects have begun construction during "Phase One" of EPCOT's Renaissance; one in the recently rechristened Discovery World and one in World Showcase. In Discovery World, a new adventure is about to begin at the former home of The Universe of...

Before departing VenturePort for the rest of EPCOT’s Discovery World, the final feature to discuss is the all-new Fountain of Nations. The fountain is given a state-of-the-art upgrade that could only be achieved by Walt Disney Imagineering. **Using the “water curtain” that debuted at New York...

So I think there's a lot of truth in what you're saying, however I'd also suggest that the ideal candidate for the position also needs to balance their love of product with corporate expectations and have a real-world understanding of the job they've been given to do. But you're right, it does...

Totally intended to complete this prompt the day it was posted but got busy at work. As soon as I read the task, my mind went to a Superman reboot with Mel Gibson in the leading role. Is he an odd choice to play Superman? I'm not sure. In the late-80's/early-90's, Gibson was a Hollywood titan...

Wow, so many routes this prompt could be taken. Several come to my mind (particularly at the Studios, for some reason): Monsters Inc. Holiday Laugh Floor Beauty and the Beast: An Enchanted Christmas - Live! Mickey and Minnie's Christmas Railroad Toy Story Mania: Christmas Carnival The Rock 'n'...
