Repainting of Epcot Central Plaza?

Re: Fountain of Nations Audio,

Sound on the north side of the fountain, by the Futureworld East breezeway, wasn't too bad. However, on the south end of the fountains by the little souvenir kiosk, I cannot explain how terrible the audio quality was. Clipping and buzzing from obviously blown speakers. It sounded quite like the whole thing was being played through an 1/8" cable at volume 2x too loud.

Seems like there has been poor audio quality in that area for a loooooooooong time.

And some would still argue nothing is wrong.

Those who utilize peril sensitive sunglasses. Do you know if, when it was still current technology, did the Lights of Winter installation include its own P.A. system or did they utilize existing sound systems?

Yikes! Really? It's not a judgment, just an observation. They need to correct the problem with the audio quality in that area. Just add that to the list. There is a list, right? Somebody's keeping a list aren't they?

As for the paint job, I still hate it.

Yes, yes, and yes! Whoever is responsible for that atrocity of a paint scheme should be tarred and feathered. The worst its ever been. Now - that is a judgment!

Photos don't do a good job of capturing how it really looks.

It's worse...

Good audio by club cool and mouse gear but thats about it. Seems like those tiny light post speakers at the Magic Kingdom can pump out better sound.

I can see how the bad paint job has affected the fountain. Very sad. Or... wait, was it the other way around? Did the poor performance of the fountain, and sound have an effect on the paint job? Or was there an improvement...

Now I'm confused... back to the discussion at hand: Why the cool club smells so awful. ( [*sound of teacher talking in the Peanuts cartoon*] What do you mean that wasn't the topic? It's in the same area.)

 

[Kman101]

But remember, most guests aren't aware of the issue so that makes it OK

But yes, the audio is bad. I also must repeat that I hate the stage in front of the fountain. The stage they NEVER use.

Yes ... Club Cool does have some noticable smell when you walk in. Is it just the nasty soda that sits in the drain of the machines and sticks to the floor? I couldn't believe how crowded it was in there too. Everyone just huddles around the fountains, you have to practically shove your way in. I know it's "omg free!" but move out of the way people ... lol

Holy thread bump, Batman!

So, I haven't be able to make it to the parks in years and I really found this old thread interesting. Does anyone have any shots of how the plaza and surrounding buildings look today? Did they ever finish the paint job?

And I assume that the canopy is still around, correct?

Cheers!

For the most part, that was the paint scheme that they were going for... it's still very strange and very ugly.
