All EPCOT Center, All the Time- Part II

[JWG]

Probably looking for a scapegoat.

It does seem fairly obvious this is a last minute and relatively unplanned shut down that even cast members of the attraction didn't know about much in advance. It screams of ride not functional without this action being taken a la Space Mountain in DL.

Maybe the channel had sprung a leak that was filling the huge sink hole under Mission Space and all of a sudden they worried they'd have two "Seas" attractions instead of a space attraction?! I kid...

Judi Dench? Stitch? Jonas Brothers? Hannah Montanah?

 

[EPCOTPluto]

I agree. Maybe an evening EMH on October 2nd? :king:

I can't remember when was the last time EPCOT had a evening EMH. So much better to see EPCOT at night.

Just wanted to make some folks day. Sorry if it's already posted. Maybe somebody wants to start a thread. Good topic. Unless your name is Lee.

Edutainment, as it is well known?

The refurb is strange news to me. Weren't the boats just refurbished a few years back to get rid of the tour guides? :shrug:

Nemo still owns the Pavilion. My day is not made.

Yeah but at least it has some good edu-tainment. I don't see the Living Seas with a touch screen pop quiz.

Where? Reading the plaques? The whole purpose of EPCOT is for it to be a passive experience that informs and inspires you. Where Nemo does that is beyond me.

 

[Thrill Seeker]

Anyone have any pics of the now walled off Living With The Land?

It's on the guidemap:xmas:

It informs you there is a Nemo movie, and inspires you to watch said movie. :brick:

Anyone that isn't aware that Nemo is a movie has been hiding under a rock.

 

[EPCOTPluto]

OMG NO WAI SRSLY?!??!1/1?1!?!

That clownfish was a movie? The only Nemo I know of was either...

This!

Or This!



....SO, any news on that weather pavilion to the former Wonders of Life? :lookaroun:lol:

Did you miss the touch screens?:shrug: My little sis spent half an hour on it answering questions about sea creatures. It is very educational. The ride downstairs.....


.... not so much.

No LWTL went down for Refurb in 2006 but all they really did was make the switch to the automated system. This is pretty bad planning if you ask me, If they figured they would need new boats soon they should have just done it them.

 

[Thrill Seeker]

You'd think if all that is changing is the addition of new boats, that they could simply just cycle the new boats in as they come and phase out the old ones. It seems to me as if this refurb is more than simply the addition of new boats. Maybe we'll actually see some notable improvements to the ride this time...

I read (dont remember where) that the new boats would require some tweaking of the canals because they are longer.

Should be some changes to videos and maybe the ending.
