News Big changes coming to EPCOT's Future World?

[PorterRedkey]

All this for a bar on legs.

Idiots.

Is that what takes up the majority of space on the elevated, enclosed level? Anything else up there? In the preview vid it looked like there was a small news desk area/studio??

NE Food and drink (various), SE shopping, SW meet n greet, NW expo

Where’s my robot restaurant?!?

There will be an exhibition space that’s a fraction of what was available in Innoventions west. Let alone Communicore.

Soooo couldn’t fine a thread on this. How are they going to maneuver people around the missing chunk of innoventions when they get down to the tunnel way in the middle?

They will do well to clear a bunch of the trees/greenery from around the walkway to the Play Pavilion. I can honestly say the first time I visited Epcot that I missed it for all the trees...hope they make it more visible...

Yes, that is what the concept art shows anyway.

BTW, those pallets in the pics above look very solar panel-esque.

Reimagined not demolished. With new menu. Currently.

They should call it....... Stargate.

I imagine it'll be one of three options:

• They just direct people to go the long way around, under what was Fountain of Nations (rip), as the only way to get through.
• They have the walkway to the North, above Art of Disney, setup before starting demolition. It looks like they're working quick on it.
• They direct people through the remaining part of Innoventions West. Presumably they'll have removed everything inside there finally, or soon enough anyway.

I imagine they'll just hold off until the walkway to the North is finished up

Actually Martin already shared this image.

Is Art of Disney closed yet?

It’s still operating.

I glanced in there the other day and it looked like at least a good portion was still intact.

In this thread at that.

Except they edited out @marni1971's watermark, cropped down, and in crap quality. Not sure the reason for the repost...

I'm a fan of symmetry, but I'm also not as creative as Imagineering. This looks very vanilla to me. The landscaping is miles better than what's there currently, but this is more minimalistic. It also doesn't give any insight into other changes elsewhere in Future World that were part of this plan.
