RIP Experimental Prototype Table of Tomorrow

"I'm feeling better..."

Don’t you see, the table would’ve provided excellent cover of the guardians gravity building when walking north from showcase.

I'm going to hazard a guess and say that Oct 1 will be the day that the Innoventions Loop dies. RIP to my favorite WDW loop.

It’s funny that the colored pic with the neighborhoods shows OLD EPCOT.

I guess they did not want to show today’s EPCOT-

I made a point to sit and listen to it for a few minutes when I was there a few weeks ago.

No mention of imagination… hmmm

I'm just appalled at the grammar of the thing. It's not parallel. In three of the neighborhoods, "world" is a helper word while the second word is the description of the land. In the World Showcase, "world" is the primary descriptor and "showcase" is the helper word.

world DISCOVERY
world CELEBRATION
world NATURE
WORLD showcase

…so this is “more magical”…amma right?!?

No mention of imagination… hmmm

…because it’s still rotting

 

[CaptainAmerica]

No mention of imagination… hmmm

They only mentioned new things.

 

[MisterPenguin]

No mention of imagination… hmmm

The PR only mentioned what was new, so, no mention of Motion (Test Track).

This is the same press release from late 2020, isn't it?

Hey, they fixed my complaint about Guardians!

Calling it an "other-world" showcase pavilion is much better than an other world showcase pavilion. Putting it in quotes keeps it from sounding like it's going in the World Showcase.

world DISCOVERY
world CELEBRATION
world NATURE
WORLD showcase

It was never terribly grammatically parallel, though. One was a showcase of the world (core noun was showcase) and one was a look into the world of the future (core noun was world).

“Ok, I’ll meet you at 2pm over in world discovery”

“ok”

2pm: “I knew I should have studied that map”

world DISCOVERY
world CELEBRATION
world NATURE
WORLD showcase

My grammarianism disagrees. In each case "world" is being used an adjective for its paired noun.

Just like for "world peace" or "world domination."

What kind of peace? World.

What kind of celebration? World.

What kind of showcase? World.

This is the same press release from late 2020, isn't it?

No, it's missing things like the Wishing Tree and has things we didn't know about then, like the new lighting package at Epcot's entrance.

The picture, however, is from then.
