News Big changes coming to EPCOT's Future World?

[PorterRedkey]

Is it rude to watch this instead of paying attention to a wedding ceremony? Asking for a friend.

As long as you are discreet, I see nothing wrong with that.

Thanks, you're always there for me.

Opening. But it is obviously still very fluid.

Any rumblings about the purple dragon flying away for good?

I just don't see it happening.

Yes. But let me emphasise no decision has been made that I know of.

JIIwF may be around as long as the original was.

Just like how The Simpsons has been mediocre to terrible longer then it was the best television show ever.

 

[trainplane3]

Yes. But let me emphasise no decision has been made that I know of.

Understood! I'm not really surprised they have the idea going around. I hate to be that guy, but I'm expecting the worst. But if they end up doing something great in the end, then I get a awesome surprise.

 

[Haymarket2008]

Yes. But let me emphasise no decision has been made that I know of.

Is there even a proposal to keep him?

 

[Kman101]

Yes. But let me emphasise no decision has been made that I know of.

See this is why I sometimes say "they just don't get it, do they"? I hope they decide to keep him around. Any idea if the survey really had an impact at all, if you know?

Like so many other projects there's many proposals. They end up being whittled down to a winner.

Are there any proposals that you are excited about?

The last time I experienced the Horizons attraction there was literally nobody in the queue. It felt like there was nobody else in the building. The only proof there was happened to be some people walking away from the building after exiting. However I couldn't tell if they had just left the attraction or had changed their minds and turned back.

I guess people may not want their future to be a house in space or living at the bottom of the ocean.

And the robots will be here soon enough. Be afraid. Be very afraid.

hopefully there not bullet proof.

 

[misterID]

It has arrived!
I will leave this here:

Awesome! Thank you, Martin.

 

[matt9112]

I disagree. Test Track felt dated as soon as it opened, with the mid 90's era car videos and even older videos in the queue.The warehouse feel was akin to driving around a Home Depot parking lot at night. It had zero futuristic feel or technology.

TT 2.0 brings something more like how they do virtual simulations of cars. Is it perfect? no, but it feels much more like an Epcot attraction, with interaction being a key which is good for younger people.

I agree not perfect but far better fit than the random garage feel.

 

[marni1971]

I think it all boils down to personal preference.

Sorry to keep bugging you and I'm sure multiple proposals exist, but is there one that keeps him around, just not in the ride?

 

[Haymarket2008]

@marni1971 The Horizons tribute is breathtaking. I have never seen videos of the ride look so vivid and vibrant as your compilation does. Thank you for the amazing work. The COLORS, all the hidden details I forgot about/haven't seen on videos. Brava!

Pass. I'm aware of proposals for the ride, what they plan to do elsewhere I don't know.

5 to 6 years? This is why I'm not hyped about anything happening at Epcot. They're dragging their feet. No excuses except laziness why this park cannot be brought back to life (opinions on what the new life is aside) by 2021. I know I'm impatient and I know new attractions cannot just appear but still, its ridiculous.

I hate to say that I am incredibly patient when it comes to Epcot because the overwhelming majority of changes have been downgrades. I just hope I don't have a heart attack on July 14th.
