News Big changes coming to EPCOT's Future World?

[HMF]

I'm shocked there hasn't been any leaks or rumors of any substance detailing what this overhaul/change of park mission will be. They'll need to explain themselves BIG time after throwing a Guardians attraction in the mix.

new Epcot Mission statement: Attract Males Ages 10-35.

There's definitely a trend toward thrill rides. Sad but true. I'm happy to see them investing in the parks, but I still long for the days of people-eating omnimovers.

It would be nice to get some love for that type of attraction as well. It's nice to walk on to a ride and enjoy an experience for more than 2 minutes now and then.

Well, you'd have to allow time for social media check-ins every 30-40 seconds, though.

Maybe less of a mission?

I can't break the news about everything!

Hmm... would the mission have less space?

Haha no I know, and I appreciate all the things you have broke! I'm just surprised, mainly at Disney, that their "mission" for Epcot isn't even distinguishable for people to relate or explain. How upsetting!

^This!!!!! There's a reason I love Splash, Pirates, HM, and all the great long-form rides of old Epcot. I like a well-themed, immersive, and somewhat long payoff after all that queue time. It's the reason I've never rode standby for 7DMT. No way I'm waiting 90 minutes for a 60 second coaster.

Edited to add: I will gladly stand in line for 1 hour to experience the 12 minutes (or whatever it is) of Splash Mountain. That's how you build a ride. 25 years later, and it's just as good as ever.

Fun fact, Douglas Adams' book Salmon of Doubt is on display in the Flight of Passage queue.

I actually like the Beverly, but really like it as a mixer. ... If only they had a rum dispenser, I might have the next hit cocktail.

The Coke Store in Disney Springs serves a Beverly Cocktail in their rooftop bar.

My mind is blown

I know where I'm going next year! Do you know what's in it?

 

[BlindChow]

Do you know what's in [the Beverly Cocktail]?

Apparently, gin and Orange liqueur...

I have not had a chance to try it yet.

Bye bye Communicore buildings

 

[disneyC97]

I know it's blurry but can the test track canopy finally be going?

 

[trainplane3]

Thoughts on it? I'm pretty happy with it. Sad about Communicore going away. I like the new island(?) thing at the bottom with the fountains. Actually, RIP fountain of nations. I guess that new island is the "new" fountain of nations? So many questions. I need a full resolution, non camera picture of the art.

So is Innovention being torn down? Will something go in its place?

It looks like one side, parts of the building closest to SSE will be staying. I feel like being a park of the "future", there shouldn't be as much green. I can't complain though.
