News Big changes coming to EPCOT's Future World?

[jt04]

@marni1971 Would it have been possible to turn the Southwest Innoventions building into the event space and include a rooftop bar? The demolition and rebuild seems like change just for the sake of change IMO.

Mold remediation was likely also a factor.

Now that WDW is no longer the cash cow that keeps TWDC ticking everything has changed. Iger has so diversified the Disney portfolio that they can now properly update and maintain WDW. Which is how they are now continually investing. Bit by bit, they are completing their 'to do' list. That includes their long time desire to make Epcot a timeless "Disney Park".

Paul Harvey would say that now you know the rest of the story. IMO.

PS- wrote this in another thread but relevant here. Hi WDW74

Weird how the actions fit the theory. I'm living for the day WDW74 insists on taking a selfie with the Iger statue.

There’s being open minded towards change and then there’s clueless trolling

Keep watching. Stay tuned. I just couldn't take watching Martin and Brayden et al trying to stop the tide. Though new monorails are still possible in theory. IMO.

*Looks at TWDC annual reports from the past 10 years...*

Those reports were probably faked so Iger could work on his plan without interference and covered with mold. Can’t let facts get in the way of nonsense.

I'm still curious how this coffee table will handle crowds. Specifically, those trying to go up and those trying to come back down from the roof section. Seems like the elevator(s) wouldn't be able to keep up and stairs would be quite crowded.

Escalators have great capacity compared to stairs and elevators.

Are they using escalators? Only concept art I recall seeing depicted stairs and an elevator shaft.

The main entry/exit is escalators, with stairs and elevators in the back.

If they are not escalators in the art then they are illegal stairs. You can’t do that angle and height in a single run of stairs.

Crowds? That will be for the rich people to watch the fireworks away from the regular folks. Ma and Pa won’t be able Bubby and Sissy up to see the roof top. Any thoughts @jt04 ?

Ma and Pa should encourage their kids to do their homework, work hard so they can someday afford to take their parents to see the fireworks at Epcot.

But how can Bubby and Sissy do their homework if Ma and Pa take them out of school to go on vacation?

Hmmm. That's a conundrum.

Will this new festival center be done this year? It seems like it would be the number one priority

Maybe. But 2022 seems more likely.
