Quoting from another thread but it's relevant here: No doubt Electric Umbrella sucks in both theme and menu. I really hope whatever new QS dining comes to CC East will feature a more fitting theme to FW (or whatever it will be called). The name "Electric Umbrella" sounds like it belongs in a...

Oh how I'd love to see a sky mural painted on the ceilings again 😍

They filled in the lower "sunken" areas, and removed the mezzanine upper level. I was told this was done because they determined they could sell more merchandise if guests didn't have to go up stairs. I guess merchandise downstairs sold better than merchandise upstairs..? Plus throughout the 90s...

I wish. But even if it did, it would never be as cool as it once was (architecturally speaking) IMO the multiple levels were part of what made the place special. Too bad they filled them in.

I know I've mentioned this before but heck even a simple walking path would be fantastic for guests staying at AKL: Joe has even retweeted my image before so I know he likes the idea as well

They need to cut RoL some slack and stop basing every single decision on quest satisfaction surveys. Another key point is that that show pretty much came online at the same time as Pandora. As a park guest, if you only have 1 day at AK on your trip, come dusk you have to make a decision to...

That's a good point. Here's a look at the original entrance featuring character topiaries: Considering the new concept art features even more trees & vegetation than was present back when this picture was taken, I think you're right that they'll not stand out as much as we're concerned.

Unless the trees are blocking it, the Magic Eye Theater isn't in the concept image. But the brown box is The brown box has to be outside the monorail brim... 🤔 Very curious: Trees hiding what will replace Innoventions West area Lack of trees in the entire bottom right even though a lot of...

I know. But look at the bright side, most if not all of the original Epcot Center main entrance buildings, structures and architecture is being kept. This is a huge win considering they could have chose a different route and demolished it all.

I'm actually pretty excited about this project due to this aspect in particular. As I've mentioned before, one of my favorite aspects of WDW is indoor areas themed to outdoor areas: With a futuristic theme as seen in the concept art, this has the potential to be a really awesome and...

6. Repair the huge printing press back into operation

"That monstrosity that Iger calls an attraction casts a shadow over my pool. " ...anybody guess which movie this line is from? :D

This and This. Festival of the Arts is very enjoyable IMO. However, F&G and F&W are played out, and run too damn long. Epcot needs more weeks, if not a months, without any festivals. So, expand FotA a week or 2 and reduce F&G and F&W. Realistically I doubt they would ever reduce F&G and F&W...

Wow thanks for this info. Would you be able to identify the artist behind this Innoventions loop? I've always loved this tune:

It was in CC East Computer Central. BUT has anyone actually seen the model in years?

Those torches are essential to the overall vibe of WS at dusk IMO. Any decision to remove them just feels wrong.

The area you are thinking about in the Germany pavilion is being used for existing pavilion functions. The area in the back of the Japan pavilion is being used for maintenance shops etc, but what's in there could easily be relocated making the overall box available to house an attraction...

The names of all of these sound so awesome. Still wish I had a chance to visit the Computer Central to see those big old machines and the park model.

No, in a sense that the overlays can be replaced some day. Yes, in a sense that even after Chapek, there may never be another management team who cares enough to do so. And Yes, UoE is gutted. It will never be recovered.

This whole Epcot situation is really personal to me. I decided to let it flow on twitter today. I know this will make no difference but at this point WTH, why not:
