[RSoxNo1]

Am I blind...?

I just spent an hour staring at that photo trying to find the bird poop and I still can't.

Also, couldn't be bothered to save transparency.

Uh-oh

It’s okay. It’s a tradition.

 

[HauntedPirate]

I'll be vindicated. Once again.

You are certainly entitled to that opinion.

But I get people can't visualize new Epcot yet in most cases. Perhaps only those who saw the early eighties version can.

Was that the last time you were in EPCOT?

Didn't JT earlier say that the last time he was there, the EPCOT beam was under construction?

I like to stare at the SSE mural. It gives me that sense of wonder and hope it brought me when I was a child/teen at EPCOT Center.

Don’t worry, you’ll feel that way again at the Moana water play area and you’ll feel inspired as you buy your pig and rooster plush at the nearby merch cart.

I don’t usually side with jt, but I kinda have to with this one. He has a point, the park will look very aesthetically pleasing when all is said and done. Like I’ve said already, much better than the decaying ruins of EPCOT Center like it has been for years now.

Yeah, Epcot was looking like the grounds of the Worlds Fair in Queens NY.
I welcome this change.

Will I have the feeling of wonder at how much money I just spent, and the hope that I will earn enough to spend more there someday?

I absolutely welcome change, just not this change.

 

[marni1971]

I very much welcome change, just not this change.

Change is only good if it’s better than what came before.

What came before didn’t need removing. The neglect of it is what needed removing.

I am one of the few here who experienced and remembers Future World before the cheese-stastic millennium overlays were added. The Electric Umbrella and associated tarps and supports make mall food courts look like a futurist's utopia. It was novel at the time but is almost 2 decades past its expiration date.

The faux nostalgia for the mess is too much. It is as if the Stitch overlay of the MK castle showed up and never went away.

Losing some of the Innoventions moldy structures is of no consequence if they are able to bring back the original FW aesthetics. (which I am certain the competition fears)

I cede the soapbox to any reasoned responder.

Got to be a reasoned post to respond to first.

So removing part of what made the original aesthetic will somehow bring back the original aesthetic?

Sounds like a concession. Noted.

People want a greener Disney and Future World. They are even making it part of the theme. "World Nature".

Thank you again for injecting some humour into an otherwise sad topic.

Sincerely.

Not sad. This is textbook 'outrage culture' trolling. Bringing back the vision and aesthetics of Future World is cause to celebrate. Even if the original mission statement has to be updated for the 21st century, the original campus was timeless.

Sort of like original mk tomorrowland.

When did you last visit this place you claim to know so much about again?
