A idea for Epcot's 25th anniversary

[epcotfreak1224]

i was thinking that maybe the imagineers shoul refurb the millenium village thatis ever barely used. they should a kind of exposition of every ride that has been built in Epcot. kinda make it like one man's dream in MGM but this about the history of Epcot. they could show us the history of the park and all the rides. they could even show us some concepts for future attraction. they could even have a special are for extinct attractions. they could probably rebuild the ride cars from exctinct attraction like horizons adn WoM and put the ride through video there. and then after the 25th anniversary, tear the whole building down and build a new country with a good ride. wat d you all think. kinda of unlikely isn't it.

I think your idea is very good but millenium village is now the World Showplace - a very popular convention space. Not much chance that it will be converted to anything else anytime soon... But since we're on the subject a few more countries would be great!!

Actually, World Showplace is used a lot. We had a picnic for all Epcot cast members in there about 2 weeks ago, plus various other events. It's used a lot for things like pin events, festival dinners and convention things.

As for new countries, there are several "blank" areas around World Showcase that could easily accommodate new pavilions. However, as far as I know, no plans have been made to celebrate Epcot's 25th in any major way.

I'd be happy if Epcot got nothing at all for their anniversary except to just remove the wand. Of course I'd love other things, but if all they did was lose the wand I'd be a happy man.

A refurbished park and a restored SSE--including removing the wand--would be enough.

Of course, they'd find a way to market the heck out of this, too, along with special merchandise.

I can see it now, all sorts of merchandice celebrating the removal of the wand.

World Showplace is and extremely popular convention space, and boasts being the largest convention center inside a theme park anywhere.

Where is World Showplace located in the park. I've seen a large building in aerial photos behind the United Kingdom. Is this it?

That's it. The Enterance is located between Canada and the United Kingdom

I like the idea..I kinda had a post like that awhile ago. But now since WoL is just sitting there...why not at least use the pavillion for that. I mean it would fit perfectly since it would fit in FW. That way they can have many items there and also open Body Wars & Cranium Command for the 25th. Also as many has said...I wanna see the Retro-Logos!:sohappy:

I like the whole idea but like you said at the end, it is very unlikely. One reason would probably be that more people would probably want to go on a new thrill ride than go to a place about the history of EPCOT. Plus, you would be able to promote EPCOT a lot more.
That said, I love the idea!!!!
