News Big changes coming to EPCOT's Future World?

[Mike S]

You calling me a liar? There will be more concrete paths than there are now.

I’m not going off the concept art.

I get the feeling calling you a liar is like calling Marty McFly a chicken. You don’t do it.

One of them is. Though the roof one will be a little more refined.

Looks like a great place for upcharge events for the new EPCOT nighttime show.

Since nobody brought this up. But the Millennium Celebration era decorations behind SSE is not seen.

Excuse me if I've missed this, @marni1971 , but any word on the delightful "lights in the cement"? They are so magical! Thanks!!

I’m afraid most of that concrete will be ripped up

 

[PorterRedkey]

I like the design of the Festival pavilion, maybe not for EPCOT, but my main fear it is going to block SSE views from the Canadian side of WS. That would be a shame.

 

[marni1971]

Will the roof be for a signature restaurant and/or parties to watch the new show? or both??

Not a TSR I believe.

Found this footage of what Chapek plans to do to anything without IP (including the lights)

I doubt it will be much higher and not that much closer than the current west building (RIP)

Elevated structure top view.

The table top roof needs to be a futuristic Mt. Olympus from Hercules. Or at the very least Asgard.

It's like standing on Palatine Hill overlooking the Roman Forum.

Definitely an upgrade from FoN.

What a missed oppertunity to at least expand the floor lighting to other sections.

Perhaps they will?

FoN appears to still exist.

Trying to process it all. My first take is this is a phase 1 of a very long term transformation. IMO

 

[brb1006]

Not sure if your dropping a vague hint or just teasing us. But please be a hint.

Maybe.

No hint.

One thing I’m looking forward to when this is finished is how technology is incorporated into the public realm. Lighting, landscape design and signage has come a long way in 25 years.

It’ll be long. That’s for sure.

I always loved the cement lights and exit music at EPCOT.
