News Big changes coming to EPCOT's Future World?

[CanadianGordon]

Looking forward to hopefully good changes that work with the overall concept. I agree that nostalgia is a good thing, but I'm all for revamping the park to include the newest technology. Within reason.

Tomorrowland is an utter mess without focus that ignores six decades of theme park design philosophy.

But, but, but NEON!

Am I the only one who would be cool with re-theming Test Track into Cars? WOM isn't coming back so...
I really miss the original Epcot. I hated this park as a kid but honestly I miss so much of this park as an adult. Craziness!

It's already just Tron in everything but name.

Ha! You're right. Maybe that was the plan

Done, you just need to go to California to see it.

We always thought the future would be fun....

Remember fun?

Remember fun?

I do... It was the original Journey Into Imagination... Horizons... Seabase Alpha... It was a place where you could dream of the wonders that were to come... sigh....

I forsee Cranium Command born with Inside Out.
Kitchen Cabaret was fun though....

I remember Kitchen Kabaret. I thought I was losing my mind years ago when I would talk to people about the singing food at Epcot. Then I found the video on youtube. Sad it's gone but happy it's been replaced with a fun ride. Soarin was good. I wish they'd bring back classics from Epcot. That would make me come back for a visit. See the future we thought we'd have.. Today! From yesterday!

Curious how that plaque says nothing about Food and Wine festival kiosks.

Although, I do believe the imagineers want to bring back the true intentions behind the wording on the plaque, Management seems to have added a few words invisible to the common folk's eye:

"... of a future that promises new and exciting benefits for all."
has become
"... of a future that promises new and exciting financial benefits for all of Disney's bank accounts."

Oh, really? I thought it said this the whole time.

If you offer things that makes guests smile and say "Wow!", the financial benefits will come. Whether it's tying an attraction to a film or offering an exhibit on futuristic Sci/tech, if guests are saying wow, bank accounts will be full.

The original glass plaque looked far nicer than the current chocolate version.

Is there any photos of the original glass plague?
