Yeah, you're probably right. It does look really nice in this painting. I also didn't realize it was a callback to the original EPCOT Center art. So that makes a lot more sense.

Is there something projected onto the Imagination prisms? It looks like a character, so I would think it's part of the firework show. But, I don't think they've ever used that building for projections, so that could be interesting. Hoping Figment survives the new changes ... maybe Dreamfinder...

That's interesting to hear. I definitely don't think a Guardians/Marvel takeover of that area would be good for Epcot, but the futuristic aesthetic they chose for that design was nice. I'm curious to see how the roof of Energy comes out in the final construction.

I've got to say, I think I like the middle one the best of the three. I like that they are keeping certain elements in the current design, but the middle one does have a more futuristic and lively feel to it. Maybe just because the mockup has more people in it? I especially like the sphere on...

I definitely agree that the first scene is much better without the fog screen. On Tuesday, it was just the 'dead men tell no tales' and it gave a much better ambiance and mood to the whole area. The blue lights on the waterfall on the left are great! Also, I love that they brought back the...

I would love this decision if it happens! Despite having Ducktales bias, I do think this is a smart and lasting decision if true for Disney. And it's not adding an IP to Epcot, just replacing one already there with a more 'timeless' IP instead. Definitely would try out this out if/when I had the...

Sorry about that, I figured somebody had noticed it and just wanted to share my thoughts on a nice nod to classic Disney. I didn't realize there was a search tool, that'll be handy in future browsing. Anyway, thanks for the in depth review of the concept art, it definitely helps digest the all...

Not sure If it's been mentioned already, but just noticed that the 2nd building from the right says WEDWAY on top. Really cool touch and very interested to see if this is just a theming element or something more. Even if it is just theming, that's a really nice element that ties it to Walt and...

The concept art for both looks pretty good, I'm especially excited to see the entrance get a nice refresh while having callbacks to the park's original look and feel. Much better than 'Leave a Legacy' stones, and will work really well with Flower & Garden show displays. The Play Pavillion looks...

Just from reading about it and watching videos such as Martin's, it doesn't seem that attendance was the reason Imagination became what it is today (or at least the change in 1999). The turntable used for the beginning Dreamfinder/Figment scene was disliked/hard to maintain and was no longer...

Speaking of Stitch sitting unused and technically in 'seasonal operation,' the Timekeeper remained in seasonal operation for almost 5 years (2001-2006) before it was closed officially to make way for Monster's Inc. (I don't know how often the show was actually running from 2001-06, other than...

I looked it up, and this former signature by Figment was found in an area that is barely backstage near the Imagination restrooms. This website does a good job at describing where it is found - https://themeparkuniversity.com/disney/easter-eggs-finding-figments-signature-cement-epcot/ Knowing...

Where is this spot? I never knew about this before - a little concerning for Figment's future to say the least!

Are the effects and glow-in-the-dark cars back in Space Mountain? In recent years, SM has seemed a lot darker from the POV of the PeopleMover. The simple glow-in-the-dark on the cars made a great effect as if stars and comets were flying around. I always loved going through Space Mountain in TTA...

I do like Judi Dench's voice for SSE, but do agree that the script can be goofier than the past narrations. I don't mind it too badly, but if Dench just read off Irons' script word for word, it would be a very good narration overall. More "grand and miraculous." :) My personal favorite is...

It's been 11 years since the Dench refurb, hasn't it? 5 more years would put it to last 16 years - almost 2 decades. What's the longest one narrator has been in SSE? I can't think of any that have been there for 16 years - Irons I think was 13 (94-07).

That's the first I've heard of the Tangled rumor, but I have heard about the idea of moving Small World or CoP to Epcot. I have no idea if it would fit in the WoL building, but Carousel of Progress would bring some world's fair flair back to Epcot, return to the style and message of classic...

That's great to hear! WoL is space that could be put to good use, especially when GotG opens up and the area becomes more congested with Test Track already an E-Ticket.

Ducktales would be a great option to replace Perry. The reboot is a great show and looks like it is very popular. Another added benefit is that unlike something like Kim Possible and Perry the Platypus (though I really like both characters), the Ducktales characters are Disney characters that...

Pretty good news if the CC audio-animatronics are being put into archives, just amazing it took this long for it to happen. Wonders of Life is an intriguing part of Epcot's future - curious to see what Disney has in store for it.
