EPCOT Big changes coming to EPCOT's Future World?

[gerarar]

I’ve seen limited Main Street Vehicles operating at MK - which is good and better than nothing. But it’s actually difficult to ride them - CM’s don’t seem eager to want passengers. I was completely ignored by multiple CM’s at vehicles who continued to talk to co-workers when I was obviously standing by the vehicle. It’s very different in California. Maybe I just had really bad luck.

I don’t know if horse trolleys ever operate for guests at MK - only time I saw it out it was being used by the dapper dans for a show - there were so many docker clad managers surrounding it I couldn’t get a good photo.

Fortunately…. We still have Disneyland

About 2 weeks ago we were able to ride the double decker omnibus and one of the coach cars. The CMs welcomed us on board as soon they parked, so it's weird to hear about your experience.

They were also running well into the afternoon (think they stopped around 2pm) due to only 1 FoF parade at 3pm.

Yeah…. It was odd that I experienced it multiples times. The CM’s had to have been deliberately ignoring me.

maybe I’m just spoiled in California - over the years I’ve seen very little turnover in CM’s who drive the vehicles and they are some of the best.

I remember EPCOT having some pretty spectacular day shows on the lagoion...Surprise In The Skies, the afore mentioned Skylaidescope...it was for the summer as I remember.....That was when the double decker busses would travel around world showcase....you could jump on and off... All these little things made the visit to EPCOT seem so much more complete and full of things to do... now it is just food festivals, drinking around the world, a couple attractions and a flex space...lol

I mean it still has 11 rides, exhibits like Project tomorrow, advanced training lab, the imageworks, a walk through with journey of water, an aquarium. Then there are museums like American Heritage, Bijutsu-kan Gallery, Gallery of Arts and History, House of the Whispering Willows, Stave Church, Mexico Folk Art Gallery, Two circle vision films, four films, an AA show, and live entertainment like Mariachi cobre, Groovin Alps, Sergio, Voices of Liberty, Matsuriza, Atlas fusion, Command Performance, & Bodh'akton.

The only potential upside of the ground lights debacle is that maybe, maybe it hastens a redesign with the addition of a fountain.

We can dream.

Whatever material they used is clearly expanding and contracting due to the florida sun & heat, those screws will do nothing & pop out, they'll have to keep adding new screws every other week at this rate.

It’s sad how much Disney cares about their parks these days compared to the past

Looks like the fountain water is still shut off?

I'm starting to think that they did a 'what would you do with the EPCOT hub' letter-writing contest and selected the 4th place winner to oversee the job.

Be best if they rip the lenses and recessed concrete channels out and refill with opalescent concrete. Keep.the design and use ambient light to achieve some level of lighting effect.

Will the opalescent concrete keep the water out?

 

[Bocabear]

Ambient light could never create the effect they wanted...they could put gobo lighting on the light towers all focuswed onto the pavent to give a moving lighting effect, but it would look like disco lighting tacked onto the light towers.... At this point they should just tear the entire mess out and re-imagine it...with a fountain this time, and steer completely clear of Rust finishes.... Even the front Prism founain is less charming and looks a little muddy because of it....

 

[Bocabear]

How about a fountain and a replica full-size version of the Tower of the Four Winds at the center of it....

They care about them as advertising billboards for their brands not as Themed Environments.

Saw this on my feed, the lights seem to be pulsating? Or could just be a reflection.

This video could not have been recorded recently anyways, note that the two large trees are still present in front of GEO-82 and the windows still seem to be boarded up.

Nothing like getting your wedding photos in front of the questionable object planter

What will end up being funnier and more entertaining to watch?

- Disney's comedy of errors with the lights?

OR

- Whatever they replace Muppet Vision with?


I'm betting on the former.
